D&D (2024) Anyone mentioned that SRD5.2 got no Knight?

[D-03-109 MeltingLove]

There's two 'Iron Golem' in index.
That's true,if you flip to the p.299 there are actually two Iron Golems. But take a looker close, that second Iron Golem are actually 'Knight' stats.
So, we got two Iron Golem with one that is Knight stat and not calling 'Knight' in SRD5.2. And we cannot reference 'Knight' for it cause it's not calling the 'Knight' and when we reference the 'Iron Golem' it canbe a golem with a humanoid data. Weird enough.
They won't fix it, right?

Thank you for reporting that.

Thank you for reporting that.

So... will it update or errata?
I don't know the new srd whether can or cannot be update

It's weird that they put Knight in there -- it is essentially impossible to prevent people from mentioning the word "knight" or even a creature called a Knight, especially if they have even slightly different stats. Like yeah, I'm not making Helmed Horrors, I'm not making Yuan-TI, I'm not making Axebeaks, but you can't prevent me from making a Knight, and it's weird they don't want us to use the Knight.

Ah... that's not the point.
Point is they make 'Knight' named as 'Iron Golem' in section 'Monsters' and index.
btw, I agree your opinion here. Some creatures like Sphinx of Sercet are not in srd(other Sphinx are) is a very very very weird thing.

it was a copy/paste error -- the stat block is clearly the Knight

Yep, but it's in srd...
Which only updates in Decades.

it’s about the stat block, not the word

And you can use the word Knight without WotC's permission.
Also, the 5.2 SRD is an update from only a few years ago with a promise of another when the next round of Errata coming out (likely at the next printing of the full suite of books).

No one has to wait years to include a Knight in their materials.
