How to go about designing monsters.

Elves are immortal, metrosexual, aloof know-it-alls. They know everything better, they can do everything better, and they're not afraid to tell you.

Elephants are cool in war, and they have ivory tusks. Do you want your players to be poachers?

Dwarves are rich and paranoid. There's also a long excursion about dwarves, elves, halflings and humans in the monster manual.

Dragons a dangerous and lucrative and thus provide players with an excellent betting opportunity. Use more dragons!

Doppelgängers are for the urban adventure when you no longer know whom to trust and how to safely uncover the conspiracy.

Crocodiles are ambush predators. I like to announce their presence and treat them like traps.

Creepers are a total party kill in the making with their eight paralysing attacks but I still love them.
