Question: If one of your campaigns had an animated intro with all the PCs, how would it go.
A kind of mix of the end of Buckaroo Banzai, but with slow motion half way through to catch all the tomfoolery as they march along.
I know this because I am currently attempting to finagle free generators to do exactly that.

I'd like to see a tiny giant, more evil celestials, good fiends, etc. I'd also like to see hybrid types, like a half-construct fiend or something like that.

We have a familiar from the nine hells, the imp. What about familiars from other planes.

I heard there are going to be a bunch of new familiars in the new PHB, including at least one Celestial familiar.

I really like D&D, especially Ravenloft and Forgotten Realms. My pronouns are she/they.
I like reading and writing too, but I’m not much of an artist.

More angel types. Also maybe more creatures from Limbo would be cool

Cool. What are your thoughts on it. I like it because not a lot of familiars can speak common.

I think it makes a great familiar for a good aligned warlock. And I like Dungeon Dad’s idea that the sphinx of wonder can eventually evolve into a full fledged androsphinx or gynosphinx as your character gets to be higher in level, becoming more like an NPC companion than a familiar.

I've always wanted to see a miniature giant too. I disagree on the good fiends though.
I think more neutral or good monsters could be cool. Monsters that could provide boons or could be fun to interact with less evil intentions.
Some more surreal creatures could be cool. They don't all have to make a lot of sense.
the vast majority of them are very, very low CR and it’s generally very hard to have lots of variety. The few we have are very good, like redcaps, Quicklings, and my beloved hags, but I personally homebrew certain pre existing creatures to be fey or be hybrid fey, such as trolls being fey-giant and unicorns being fey-celestial. Also Night hags are fey, they always should have been.
But at least in the new monster manual, they’re adding new monsters to every type to round it out and give more higher and lower level monsters to types that lack It, so they’re adding an Archhag! Which is apparently supposed to be around Tarrasque level? I mean, I’m not complaining. Hope they add more hag variants as well, like the Annis, Bheur and perhaps even more new ones.

I never noticed this, but it's true. There are a bunch of archfiends but no archfey or arch-celestials. Strange.
Forgot about that one. Thanks for the ink!

What was for breakfast? I most often have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Bonus today the summer school kids made pancakes =)

I had an early dentist appointment so I only had a banana. I was able to get free green tea afterwards which was nice.
I usually eat cereal or toast with a large variety of fruit.

There's also no beasts above a CR 12. That should be fixed!
YES!!!

We need more oozes and more plants.
What types of monsters does D&D 5e lack?
FEY
THERE ARE SO FEW FEY
there are, in total, 3 fey creatures above CR 15.
the vast majority of them are very, very low CR and it’s generally very hard to have lots of variety. The few we have are very good, like redcaps, Quicklings, and my beloved hags, but I personally homebrew certain pre existing creatures to be fey or be hybrid fey, such as trolls being fey-giant and unicorns being fey-celestial.

Y tho? Can't a fiend get sick of fighting in the blood war?
I like the idea of a risen Demon/Devil. A typically evil being performing such good deeds that they are granted a spot in the upper planes.
