Spore queen: Has no automation on her kiss, spirit blast and blood vendetta spells are heightening wrong.
Tormented: In the crypt don't have automation corresponding to how they died, even though this is listed in the adventure.
Boggard Cultist: They don't have any attacks. Divine Wrath save isn't marked as basic, so the damage automation fails.
Gruntch: Spirit blast automation has force damage, just like spore queen.
Mugrisant Glippoth: Doesn't have the usual persistent damage automation in Swallow Whole.

I could go on, but I am not even looking for broken creatures right now. I am just opening every encounter in order and checking what is wrong with these creatures. Someone should look this whole book over and fix all the creatures.
