I've drawn on random things that I've seen/heard that have sparked an idea or two. My goal is to keep my players guessing, as one of them has been playing for years (the rest are very new and have no idea what's core and what is homebrew).
Timber Wolves-
Size: Medium
AC: 14
HP: 30
Speed: 40
Dex: 16
CR: 1/2 (100 XP)
Pack Tactics: advantage if another Timber Wolf is within 10 feet.
Multi-Attack:
Bite: +2 to hit, 7 (2d6+1) piercing damage.
Claw: +2 to hit, 6 (2d6+1) slashing damage.
Splinter: slivers of rough wood shoot out in all directions. Succeed on a 13 DEX save and take half damage. 4 (1d6+1) piercing damage: take 1d4 piercing damage at the beginning of every turn until splinters are removed via healing spell, potion, or DEX DC of 13.
——————
Land Whale-
Size: Large
AC: 18 (natural hide armor)
HP: 85
Speed: 10-40
CR: 3 (700)
These leviathans are slow, but have few predators due to their size. If allowed to run, they will increase in speed by 10 every turn, up to 40. They are incredibly dangerous to stop.
Nonetheless, they are skittish, and will burrow into almost any soil when startled.
Slam: the Land Whale attempts to strike it's target with sheer bulk. DEX save of 5 to dodge at 10 miles per hour, save of 10 at 20 mph, 15 at 30 mph, 20 at 40 mph. On a failed save, take 1-4d10 + 2 bludgeoning damage.
Burrow: AC increases to 25.
Emerge: unsuspecting creatures may be surprised. WIS save 15 or be knocked prone.

Speed: 30 ft, flying 10 ft.
STR 6 (-2) DEX 14 (+2) CON 10 (+0) INT 7 (-1) WIS 8 (-1) CHA 2 (-4)
Saving Throws: Dex +2, Con +2
Senses: darkvision, tremorsense, passive Perception 12
Languages: Insectoid
Challenge: 1/4 (50 XP)
Pack Tactics: Larva attack with advantage if at least one ally is within 5 ft. of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.
Actions:
Skitter-Claw: Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: (1d4+1) piercing damage.
Irritated: CON save of 10. Fail: the next (1d4) turns have disadvantage due to itching.
Blood Drain: Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: (1d4 + 3) piercing damage. The larva attaches to the target While attached, the larva doesn't attack. Instead, at the start of each of the larva's turns, the target loses 5 (1d4 + 3) hit points due to blood loss.
The larva can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. It does so after it drains 10 hit points of blood from the target or the target dies. A creature, including the target, can use its action to detach the larva.
Reaction: Larva Pod
If the Larva survives a magical attack/affect, as a reaction, it drops into a quick sprouting chrysalis in which the Larva transforms into a Skigg. This evolution takes one turn. If ruptured, the insect is destroyed, and a small chrysalis stem is left on the ground. This stem is valuable for brewing health potions.
