Posted Mar 13, 2025In my opinion the earth elemental has by far the biggest glow up in terms of design, from any creature in the 2024 monster manual.

Posted Dec 17, 2025I posted this reply to someone wondering why Gargoyles lost their nonmagical BPS resistance, and I think it’s worth repeating.
They’ve actually done this with all the monsters that have resistance to nonmagical damage, or at least all the ones I’ve seen. I’m pretty sure the reason is because it’s not as fun for martial classes when only spellcasters can deal substantial damage to the enemy, plus it makes magic items feel like a requirement rather than just a fun thing to have.
Also it’s worth noting that every monster that had their nonmagical damage resistances removed has also gotten their HP buffed, so they’re basically resistant to everything. While it makes sense for a creature made of enchanted stone to be highly resistant to swords and spears, it also makes sense for them to be resistant to blasts of fire and magic missiles. I think it’s a reasonable approach to take, and it saves DMs the hassle of having to divide every instance of damage by two.
