One thing I really, really liked about the Monster Vault was that, in addition to the stat blocks and tactical descriptions, it came chock full of a whole lot of fluffy story-telling nuggets to help DMs craft something more interesting than the old "attacked by bandits on the road" bit.
It also came chock full of names for NPCs. I recognized a couple from The Keep on the Shadowfell, notably Kalarel, the main villain, and Salvana Wrafton, the innkeeper in Winterhaven. But there were a whole lot more, too. What's more is that they are generally "quoted" talking about this or that monster, which definitely helps bring the creatures to life.
