With hags basically wrapped for now, I feel compelled to indulge in my one true love; silly little guys from previous editions.

Senmurvs are half-wolf, half-eagle, half-laser-beam celestials that roam the skies of Arborea and the Beastlands, presumably looking very silly as they do (they're just not really built for flying). They've got bird feet, too, which presumably don't appear in their art because they looked so silly that Larry Dixon simply refused to draw them.

The kamadan is endemic to Chult; yes, it's kind of a "displacer beast but different", but they occupy a different encounter niche with their sleep breath, and a different cultural niche within the lore, acting as symbols of curses and divine retribution. This also means that Chultans are mostly going to assume you had it coming if one eats you, which I find kind of delightful.

Fun factoid: the panther is so called because of medieval bestiaries - it was described as literally a “pant”-er, its panting breath would put you to sleep. So that’s where the sleep breath comes from.

Why does the Senmurv have higher HP and AC than the kamadan, despite having a lower CR? I'm just curious if there's a rationale I missed.
