Monster manual missing tokens

I just purchased the monster manual with the precise intent of not having to create custom tokens for every single encounter. You can imagine my disappointment when I discovered that the manual seems to be missing tokens, and of course it's the ones I need. With most monsters, dragging and dropping the compendium entry on the battlefield creates a perfect token, but it doesn't do so with others (E.g. Ghouls, ghasts). Am I doing something wrong, is it still not completed, or is there something else afoot? Update: The issue seems to be confined to the 2 creatures (Ghast and ghoul) that I tried to drag and drop on the battlefield when I still did not have the monster manual, meaning an empty token was created. Now it seems the application has defaulted to that token even now that I am supposed to have the proper token linked to the compendium. How do I fix this?

Ghouls and Ghasts specifically have tokens when I just checked, all monsters unlocked with a purchase should have them. Some may only have text instead of art due to the licence and lack of official art from WotC for some creatures but that tends to be in modules rather than source books. Sometimes the tokens can take a short while to generate on the VTT but not such a long time that you'd think they were never coming? Ensure you are using a supported browser and don't have any extensions running. Also, do the entries you try to drop on the VTT create journal entries? If not, something is going wrong, if they do... you can drag and drop those journals onto the VTT to try and get the token to populate??

The simplest way would be to delete the pre-MM purchased journal entries. Then drag/drop from the compendium again. If you REALLY need to preserve those entries (because you'd modified them in some way), just rename them and then drag/drop from the compendium. It seems to use name matching to determine whether or not to create (and therefore to avoid duplication).

I had completely missed that drag-drop from the compendium created a journal entry! It's always the simplest explanation ahah! Leaving this up for others who might encounter the same problem

Easily done and good to have the learning curve documented here :)
