15 monsters and races that I'd want to include in my D&D campaign

No matter what, I'd like to work these in. Any I'm missing that are super fun?

  1. Oblex: "an extraordinarily intelligent ooze created by mind flayers that fed on other creatures' memories. They were capable of using those memories to create replicas of their victims, which they used to further hunt and feed." - The Forgotten Realms Wiki
  2. Kenku: "Haunted by an ancient crime that robbed them of their wings, kenku wander the world as vagabonds and burglars who live at the edge of human society." - D&D Beyond
  3. Changeling: "A changeling can shift its face and form with a thought as a form of artistic and emotional expression." - D&D Beyond
  4. Shifter: "humanoids with a bestial aspect." - D&D Beyond
  5. Loxodon: "Humanoid elephants, loxodons are strong, calm, and wise." - D&D Beyond
  6. Abyssal chicken: "Abyssal chickens were small creatures. They had leather wings but were not capable of sustained flight. Their wings were folded above them, giving them a tear-shaped appearance. They had a large mouth filled with fangs and a long tongue. Abyssal chickens' primary form of locomotion was their two large legs, which ended in feet resembling those of a regular chicken. Each foot had three large claws." - The Forgotten Realms Wiki
  7. Awakened tree: "an ordinary tree given sentience and mobility by the Awaken spell or similar magic." - Roll 20
  8. Dryad: "fey-maidens who acted as the protectors of forests and trees." - The Forgotten Realms Wiki
  9. Flumph: "A flumph's body was shaped like a flat saucer with a diameter slightly larger than a human from shoulder to shoulder, and about as thick as a human arm. Flumphs floated by means of an innate anti-gravity field,[7] and moved by using air jets as propulsion. In fact, they were named after the characteristic sound made by these jets. Flumphs also glowed faintly in different colors depending on their mood" - The Forgotten Realms Wiki
  10. Gelatinous cube: "a ten-foot cube of transparent gelatinous ooze, which is able to absorb and digest organic matter." - Wiki
  11. Merfolk: "Merfolk are an amphibious race, born and at home in the water but comfortable on dry land. Humanoid in form, they have skin of ivory, silver, russet, blue, or deep purple. Long fins extend from the backs of their forearms and calves, and their fingers and toes are webbed. The hairlike growths on their heads are either thick and bristly like the needles of a sea urchin, or long and wavy, resembling fine seaweed. In either case, these growths typically range in color from red to warm brown to black. Male merfolk have similar growths extending down from their cheekbones." - D&D 5e Wiki
  12. Ochre jelly: "ochre jelly resembles a giant amoeba, consisting of a thick, porous, golden sludge. It lurks in dungeons, slowly sludging its way along floors, walls and ceilings alike, under doors and through cracks, looking for victims. When it finds them, it extends, latches onto them, and then proceeds to engulf and constrict them. The ochre jelly reproduces asexually, and can sometimes be found with several of its divided offspring. They cannot speak, and are neutral in alignment." - Wiki
  13. Plesiosaurus: "This predatory marine reptile and cousin to the dinosaurs attacks any creature it encounters. Its long, flexible neck lets it twist in any direction to deliver a powerful bite." - Aide D&D
  14. Rug of smothering: "an animated carpet capable of smothering other creatures to death." - Critical Role Wiki
  15. Will-o'-wisp: " malicious creatures that appeared as torches or lanterns seen floating through swamps." - The Forgotten Realms Wiki

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
