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

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
