Meenlock - they've lost some of their creepiness because now you're told exactly how people are turned into them.They're familiar, but I don't remember where they're from
Hobgoblins - two new variants, a warrior-mage and a ninja.Hags - two of them, the classic Annis Hag and a new Bheur Hag.Guard Drake - taken from Hoard of the Dragon Queen.Grung - as mentioned in the thread, they're basically sapient poison-arrow frogs.Gnolls - four variants, including the CR9(!) Flind.Girallon - the four armed gorillas are back.Giants - a special version of each of the giant types.Firenewts - from the old Fiend Folio, complete with Giant Striders to ride.Dinosaurs - Brontosaurus (yes, using the outdated name), Deinonychus, Dimetrodon, Hadrosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Stegosaurus, Velociraptor.Demons - Babau, Maw Demon, Shoosuva (I think all these have been in earlier editions).Deep Scion - another new one (I think), a shapechanging fish person formed from a drowning sailor who accepted a pact from an undersea power.Darklings - renamed from the old Dark Creeper and Dark Stalker from the Fiend Folio.Cranium Rats - originally from Planescape, I believe.Chitine & Choldrith - spider-person variants similar to Driders.Beholders - a couple of variants, the Death Kiss, the Gauth, and the Gazer.Barghest - interestingly they now prey on goblins rather than working with them.I don't recognise it from any earlier edition. Banderhobb - some kind of large frog-like shadow creature that's summoned to hunt and kidnap a victim.There's around a hundred monsters here, so obviously I'm only going to describe highlights. You can read and write Common and Auran, but you can speak only by using your Mimicry trait.So let's see what's in the monster section. A creature that hears the sounds you make can tell they are imitations with a successful Wisdom (Insight) check opposed by your Charisma (Deception) check. You can mimic sounds you have heard, including voices. You are proficient in your choice of two of the following skills: Acrobatics, Deception, Stealth, and Sleight of Hand. You have advantage on all checks made to produce forgeries or duplicates of existing objects. You can duplicate other creatures' handwriting and craftwork. Kenku are around 5 feet tall and weigh between 90 and 120 pounds. They are generally chaotic neutral in outlook. Kenku are chaotic creatures, rarely making enduring commitments, and they care mostly for preserving their own hides. They reach maturity at about 12 years old and can live to 60. Kenku have shorter lifespans than humans. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.
