Ah I remember this one fondly. It was the first homebrew creature I ever designed.
Giant Platypus:
Large Beast, Neutral
Challenge 2 (450 Exp)
Speed 30, Swim Speed 30
Immunity: Poison
Vision: Darkvision 30"
STR 8 DEX 16 CON 14 INT 10 WIS 13 CHA 10
AC 13 HP 55 (10d8+10)
Amphibious: The Platypus can breathe air and water.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8+3) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take an additional 18 (5d6) Poison damage.
Yeah, I took some liberties with how real platypi are assembled, but it only makes it a little weirder.
Here's a slight revision though, to keep it more in line with trends I've seen in creatures since then:
