Legendary Creatures - To Lair Or Not To Lair

We've got three kinds of Legendary Creatures shown to us so far. These include the following: Dragons (Blue and White), Vampires, and the Tarrasque. What many have noticed, however, is that we've yet to see the bit about Lairs. We know a Dragon in its Lair is supposed to be one of the most terrifying creatures in D&D. But this doesn't seem to be just a Dragon thing. For example, a Vampire in his Keep or Castle. I mean, Dracula anyone? A Tarrasque in his... Den? Earth? (I for one liked a fellow poster about considering the entire planet the Tarrasque's Lair, making it a sort of force of nature)

Noticing how these three creatures we've seen so far could all have Lairs (with the first two certainly, maybe the last one), this begs to the question - will all Legendary Creatures be given some kind of Lair option? Or will some "just" be Legendary. Thoughts?

Depends on the creature.

The lair we got in the playtest was pretty bad.  "Because dragons are magic, water becomes intelligent and attacks people!"  Ugh.  I hope we don't see more lairs, they've proven they just can't make sensible things.

 

They need to keep it simple and give us a nice set of traps and environmental hazards we can use to build our own stuff.

It depends.a Legendary mummy might have a pyramid liar and resets its traps and defends the tomb. But the legendary werewolf lord/alpha might instead get a special wolf pack of werewolves and wolves.
