Demogorgon's general Belaphoss is missing from the list of monsters. He was released for free in a Dragon+ article so I would think that he should be on here.
It'd be nice to have a more intuitive monster editor. Like for instance, if I wanted to change the AC of a monster for a particular encounter, it would be nice to be able to just click on AC and type the new number. But that is also tied to my feeling that an ENCOUNTER BUILDER would be an ideal feature to focus on and get out ASAP. Because if we could just load a bunch of monsters into an encounter, and then edit those in the ENCOUNTER BUILDER itself, that'd be great. Then we could also more easily track hit points, their spells, all that good stuff. Some assistance with that ENCOUNTER BUILDER would be nice too, like the ability to put in the basic stats of the party (group size and level) and it generate a low, medium, or hard encounter, based on the setting or what have you. So I started writing this about the Monster Listing and how it could be improved with being able to more easily edit monsters, and then it just turned into the solution being an ENCOUNTER BUILDER.
Are lair actions supposed to be listed with the monsters? I can see them in the Monster Manual in the compendium, but not including them in the monster listings is a pretty severe oversite for me
I also need it to be easier to copy/paste monsters into my prep notes for tonight's game. The way the stat blocks are built makes it hard. Maybe an Export button? Or maybe I can do my prep notes in Beyond itself, then print them out and take them to game. That would be amazing, and keep me invested in Beyond forever.

iOS's 'peek' feature would be useful for 'peeking' at monster stats in the absence of hovering, but as it stands all you see when you 'peek' is a picture of the monster.
The monster layout used in the Compendium is very much superior to that in the Monster listing, especially on desktop The two-column layout is much easier to consume than the single-column layout from the monster listing, which has an extremely annoyingamount of white space.

I agree that the monster listings could be improved for desktop. Though curse have stated from the start that they are building this first for mobile devices as it is easier to go from there to a larger screen than the other way around. So hopefully in the future when they figure out a lot of the bugs they could optimise the listings for desktop too
It would be great if we could filter by sources that we own, rather than having to manually select each source we own each time. This should obviously include free sources such as the SRD.
This applies to all source filter boxes, of course. It would be a really nice feature to have, especially if it could be like that by default. I don't usually want to see stuff from Volo's if I don't have Volo's. :)
I would appreciate a filter that allowed me to only see monsters that I own. Also, will there be an update that allows me to use monsters from purchased content as a template. I'm not aware of a way to say make a copy of a master thief and modify it.

I have a subscription I'm sharing with my campaign group, but I don't see a way to selectively share specific books or material. The characters could open the books themselves and see the material or look up monsters in the books via the Monsters Listing. Is there a feature request in place to make selective sharing possible?

Hi, there is a typo for the listing of Strahd von Zarovich. Under resistances it should say ...from NONmagical weapons. Currently it says resistance to magic weapons
In the monster listings for Princes of the Apocalypse, numerous spellcasting monsters have spells that appear in the appendix of that book and are marked with an asterix. The formatting is a bit weird as the asterix appears after the comma in the list, instead of next to the name of the spell (for example: Cantrips (at will): blade ward, gust,* light...). See the following monsters:
When a browser window (at least in Chrome on a PC) showing the monster list is resized smaller than a certain size (less than 1000px perhaps) the name of the monster no longer links to the individual monster page. This can be quite frustrating when you have multiple windows open and aren't browsing the site at fullscreen.
I have a suggestion. How about adding a filter box that allows you to filter monsters alphabetically in case you don't know how to spell a specific monster's name? That way you can type in "R" for instance and have it list only monsters that begin with the letter "R"

It appears that none of the Monster Manual errata has been updated to any of the stat blocks.

I absolutely need this feature.

I really need custom monster listings for own campaings. May be some "favorites" button? It will be enough for now.

They are working on this as a part of campaign management. Stay tuned!

This formatting also appears in the monster statblocks that appear in the pages of the adventure in the compendium.
Additionally, the link text that reads "(an asterisked spell is from appendix B)" points to the wrong URL (as reported here).

Highly support the encounter builder or just something where you can throw the stats and abilities into a type of multi view.
