It is disadvantaged on dexterity and combat checks whilst moving through the door.

But yeah, dungeon ecology should be a thing for novice DMs.

I can imagine how that went. The racial hatred table explaining how elves disdain dwarves must have been a great lesson in social studies. It’s a good thing they didn’t try to teach ecology as well.

“You head south through the door. So there’s a giant manticore in this 30 foot by 30 foot room. The only exit is a five foot wide door in the north wall that you just came through.”

“So that means the manticore is trapped in here. Did it get teleported in? What does the manticore eat? Where does it poop? Does it have a source of drinking water?”
