I miss the old 2e style monster stat blocks and all the habitat and ecology stuff. It was like reading an encyclopedia entry. I like how the combat stuff is streamlined in 5e without having to line hunt for details, but there's something about the old ones I prefer even now.
Me too. When they shortened the entries starting with 3.0, I hated it. For the most part I like the streamlined rules, but I wish theyd bring back the longer monster entries in the 2E format. I never understood why they got rid of it to begin with. It added so much to a creature when building an adventure and encounters, there was so much more to work with. Now everything just looks like a punching bag, it must be hard starting out as a DM in 5E nowadays.
