Do you know of any creatures or monsters that live on or in the sun? I vaguely remember reading something about a creature (other than solar dragons) that did, but I cannot find anything about it. Inspiration from non-dnd sources would also be appreciated.
I would imagine you would find various fire elemental sorts of creatures or anything else you might find inhabiting the elemental plane of fire. Anything that would survive there would probably do okay on the sun.

"The mongoose blew out its candle and was asleep in bed before the room went dark." —Llanowar fable
Older editions did have a number of creatures that actually lived in the sun (particularly in the Spelljammer setting) but I can't think of any (besides the previously mentioned solar dragon) in 5E.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
The sun was inhabited by many creatures originally native to the Elemental Plane of Fire: efreet, fire elementals, firenewts, fire minions, helians, lavaworms, and salamanders had been recognized. It has also been surmised that inhabitants of other fiery places on the planes made their home there.
Only a few attempts by the sun's denizens to leave their home have been registered, but any spelljamming ship that got close to the sun was violently attacked by them, especially the helians.

No, but if memory serves me right the old D&D Immortals set had an adventure that took place in the Elemental Plaine of Fire. I would research there as I can't remember if the sun was involved.
