Basically curious about which random resources are the most comprehensive and will sort of cover the most ground or give you the most options on quickly and coherently developing inspiration. Bonus points for anything that tries to keep it coherent (e.g. things like tables for creatures by environment type, things like that that make a genuine effort to increase world consistency in spite of randomness). I will say I'm actually pretty good at coming up with names that I'm happy with on the fly, so if you have any entries that are purely name-based feel free to consider that a bonus 6th entry and add another option as well.
