Is it giving you a link to another homebrew? Someone else was reporting something similar, and looking at the error messages in all of my homebrew backups of UA spells, they're also linking to nonexistent homebrew.
Actually, just looking through my own unpublished monsters, every one that has a "too similar" error is linking to a homebrew, not an official monster.
I'm also not sure that those are linking to nonexistent homebrew, a mod or staff member would need to look. They're definitely private homebrew of some kind, the question is if they're formerly-published or never-published homebrew?

Yeah, I just meant the url. I've never bothered to follow one before, so I'm not sure how long this has been going on, but none of them are linked to official content.
Thanks - that Displacer Beast link when I open it on my account redirects to the proper Monster Manual entry (which therefore should work for you, but I checked from your account and can see its erroring out). I'll ask to see if anything has changed recently, because it appears to be wonky somewhere.
Sorce, here's one of my homebrew spells that's doing the same thing (since I suspect it's happening to large number of folks and they're just not noticing) so you also have a spell vs a monster to look at.
I've awoken to find out the team are definitely Sorcerers and Wizards, because this issue should now be resolved. I am seeing the URL showing as the correct redirect now. Thanks for pointing this out everyone.
The link to the Padraich statblock seems to not be functional in error messages:
Someone in a campaign I am in has a legendary bundle with all current content, so I have access to the statblock normally otherwise. đ€·ââïž

I have no idea what itâs linking to, itâs a 404. đ€·ââïž

That redirects to the official entry - Sposta, can you link the homebrew creation so I can take a look?

Sorce, here's a homebrew monster of mine that you can look at, to see if it causes the same effect: https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/586331-displacer-kitten

Here ya go Sorce: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/2283643-scions-berserker-human). But it seems to be systemic.
Both of these two: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/2283695-fanatic-leader-of-the-scions-cult) & (https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/2283618-fanatic-of-the-scion-human) have the problem linking to this: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/creations/view?entityTypeId=779871897&id=16836).
This one here: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/2291279-acolyte-of-the-scion-human) cannot link properly to this one: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/creations/view?entityTypeId=779871897&id=16763).
I could go on and on (you know how I âbrew). Every monster with a âtoo similarâ warning has that problem.
