Being a monster is a job. Low level mooks are minimum wage service industry workers. Lt.s are frustrated/incompetent middle management and boss fights are totally detached corporate owners.

Dragons can breed with anything.
Celestials can breed with anything.
Infernals can breed with anything.

Start mixing.

Dragon Slime.
Celestrial Owlbear.
Infernal Marmoset.

Its kinda basic but if you are creative you can think of something. Hell, if you want homebrew something.

"why the fuck do you only have two eyes?"

Then make it friendly, and honestly curious about the party

The local mayor is facing defeat in the upcoming town election.
He wants the party to go into the nearby woods, to locate a hermit Jerrymancer, said to be living there, and persuade him to help the mayor get re-elected.

To aid in the ritual, the Jerrymancer needs the party to go to the Tree of Liberty, deep in the heart of the forest, and carve from its branches three exit poles.

Rad!fem and man!fem gnolls vs MRA gnolls.

The Bri'jet mine of kobolds that don't make traps in the traditional sense. They make, "traps."

People think there's a mad wizard in the wilderness making horrifying abominations. Turns out there's a celestial who's opened a heavy petting zoo for those with more expanded tastes and virility/fertility.

A dragon-run, dragon-operated exotic smoking lounge, complete with low, bass-y music.

Read all the April issues of the old dragon magazines for inspiration. They made a lot of joke ideas and monsters. They got shit like this one NPC "The adventurer's mother" who has an ability to call the adventurer's first, middle and last name to get over here right now and the player has to pass a will save or be compelled to run towards the NPC.

They also have joke and useless magic items, like the disintegrating ring which disintegrates off your finger when you try to use it as well as other silly shit.

I always looked forward to the april and hallowen issues the most. they always had the more interesting stuff inside.

A hoarder dragon. It's just like any other dragon, but it's got a lair full of clutter and trash instead of treasure. It insists that it doesn't have a problem. It's up to the players to stage an intervention.

The local Pun-Pun is bored, because he faces no serious challenge anymore. He begs for a death that, due to his abilities, the players cannot give him.

The Mary Sue Supreme shows up. Eight half-breed templates, an overly tragic backstory that involves multiple instances of rape, and a fucky build (gestalt samurai/truenamer who uses monkey grip to dual wield scythes) is recommended.

Go read the plot synopsis for Hardcore Henry. Have a recurring NPC along the lines of Jimmy. Have him run into dangerous situations and die repeatedly, acting out a different character archetype each time. (Edgy antipaladin, dual scimitar ranger, retarded bomb-chucking goblin, caveman-IQ barbarian...)

I made a campaign where for one session the players went into an alternate universe, where basically all the laws of nature were fucky. I used a lurker above, which is literally a monster that pretends to be the ceiling until you walk under it and the flail snail, which is exactly as dangerous as it sounds. Get close to it and you'll get a bruise, but its a fucking snail with flails instead of a head.

Then theres always the famous calzone golem

Having players roll a spot check when fighting animated objects. Success reveals it is in fact just men in black clothes holding the objects going "OoOoOooo" since there is no real magic in the dungeon, they're all just playing pretend.

Have everything in a room be a mimic. Every piece of furniture, every carpet, every tapestry, even the sconces should be mimics holding a torch.

All except for a proudly displayed ornate chest.

Have that be real, but all the contents should be mimics except for a single bag of gems. Except all the gems should be lodestones, except for a single luckstone.

Have the door to this room be covered in notes inviting them in, but with a single note that says "DON'T GO IN THERE"

Beholder who can't figure out how to manage his antimagic eye. Keeps trying to do shit but none of it works and he gets increasingly frustrated and starts crying.

A cursed portable hole. Dexterity check when accessing to pull out the intended item. If you fail you instead pull out a handful of spaghetti, reducing your charisma to 3 for ten minutes.

A wizard invents a spell that can instantly create a golem made of a named material.

Before he can finish the spell to specify that the material must actually be a material a group of invisible kender terrorists steal it and start casting it randomly.

They quickly realize the bug in the spell and start creating memory golems, laughter golems, love golems, epistemology golems, future golems, and more.

Golem golems.

4chan golems.

Sex golems.

Christmas golem.

Patriotism golem.

for inspiration check out literally anything written by Piers Anthony.

At some point have the players board a magical vessel dubbed "The Censor".

Nothing seems out of the ordinary at first but when the players (in character or out of character) swear, talk about anything overtly sexual, do anything violent, or take Bahamut's name in vain they are zapped for damage by the ship until they behave.

A DM did something like that to our party once. Except it was an entire town where everything smaller than a house was a mimic and all the people were doppelgangers. It was very difficult to get out of bed at the inn.

The legendary equislax, a rabbit with the body of a horse and the head of a horse.
The bifurcation 2-headed snake.
The "Grippler", a Grippli grappler. Imagine a manic Kermit in a luchador mask.
Reverse harpies: fat sparrows with human limbs, to scale.
A dragon that has bees as a breath weapon.
A hydra whose heads sing like a barbershop quartet but inevitably fall into raucous disharmony as new generations of heads develop conflicting musical preferences.
A troll wearing a magical blindfold that he cannot remove as well as a similarly cursed "kick me" sign, featuring the beautiful calligraphic of a bored wizard, which makes the troll unusually vulnerable to kicks.

The legendary Rap dragon. Instead of an elemental alignment, he breathes out sick-nasty raps. to defeat him you must engage in a rap battle for the ages.

Read through Futurama episode synopses until you find one where the very premise makes you laugh. Figure out how to turn that into a fantasy adventure hook.

Now come up with some funny NPCs.

Now, on the party's way to do the thing the plot demands of them, have some of their shit get stolen by kobolds in such a way that you're certain they'll want to follow.

These are weird kobolds forced out of their original tribe because they came up with the wackiest, most absurd traps ever. Some are deadly and some are totally ineffectual, but all are inefficient and hilariously offbeat.

One trio of kobolds is basically the Three Stooges.

The PCs never actually get back to the main story.

It would be fun for each PC to roll for a unique talent. Some things probably OP like females exposing panties stunning all male creatures within 30 ft for 1 round once per long rest

A quantum alignment wizard in the dungeon. Whatever alignment the PCs think he is, he is the exact opposite. If/when they change their minds, he immediately shifts to remain opposite of what they think, and if necessary justifies his wild swings of behavior as increasingly elaborate plots.

>find him chained up in a dungeon
>set him free, thinking he's a prisoner
>it was actually a brilliant plot to blend in and assassinate everyone in their sleep after stealing and hiding all their valuables!
>party wakes up, manages to kick his ass
>right then, a giant red dragon flies overhead. The wizard yells for everyone to play dead
>when it passes over, he surrenders and explains that he had a premonition that the dragon was coming in his dreams, the only way to avoid getting slaughtered by it was to make it look/smell like everyone was dead and broke
>etc.

Oh, and the party can never either let him out of their sight or kill him, because either way the paladin will immediately fall - either for setting an unspeakably evil necromancer loose on the world without trying to stop him, or for killing an innocent old man.

A troll of a Lich. Based a green text I read. Basically all of the plots and plans the lich decides it wants to do are purposefully pointless. An elaborate super secret and serious plan to steal every third lamp post in the kingdom, only to launch them at the party for giggles. A town filled with tint frogs that explode when stepped on and sing 'camptown ladies' etc.

The party is in fact the b team, a team is ahead of them in every regard and the party is there to clean up after them/be poor because they exist. Bonus points if the a team is following the plot (and actions) of a previous campaign that the players have played together. More bonus points if they legitimately the A Team.

A party of monks that are basically the TMNT who's only goal is to open up a pizzeria. The party is trying to stop them for reasons.

Have a somewhat serious campaign that ends with the PCs fighting/killing the players behind the characters with the GM as the final boss.

The players work for a vampire that sparkles, any time twilight is mentioned he flips the fuck out.

Ye olde Dragon Force. Party of bard uses the power of rock to conquer the (music) world.
