Call me slow on the uptake, but...

Sometimes the WotC online art galleries for their books don't exactly match what was actually published. This time, I noticed the following creatures that apparently didn't make the final cut for Fiend Folio:

That's a "fallen hound archon" -- a template perhaps?

a "plague brush"

Somehow I don't feel cheated.

Well I'm not sad about the tumbling tumbleweed but I would like to see the fallen celestial template (if indeed that is what it was).

While it's a shame if there was some fallen celestial template that was missed out of the book, I hope that had it been included they'd have gotten some better artwork than that fallen hound archon, IMo it's rather poor

Fallen Celestial?

Check out the Green Ronin "Legion's of Hell".... they have a fallen celestial template....

Already released.

I noticed that earlier, and I asked someone who got the book early about it on the Necromancer boards, and got the response that they were indeed not in the book.

On the WotC boards, I speculated that the template might find its way into the Book of Exalted Deeds.

...because falling from grace is quite the exalted deed?

I'd love to see the template to, but I find that unlikely.

Maybe they'll end up in the revised Monster Manual.

Let's see here, there's actually quite a few monsters in ALL of the art galleries that don't quite make it.

All of the art galleries are here

From MM1:
* Catoplebas [in MM2]
* "Brawny/Claw" Monster
* Bug Trooper
* Dropper
* "Gargoyle Thing/Magic Guardian"
* "Non-Magical Harpy"
* Intellect Devourer [in PsiHB]
* Twig Blight [in MM2]
* Githyanki [In PsiHB and Manual of the Planes]
* Dispator [in BoVD]
* Lolth [in Di&Dg]
* Urd

From MM2:
* Cold Spirit
* Dune Reapers
* Silt Horrors
* Sporebat
* Spriggan [in FF]
* Tunnel Terror
* Zodar

Those are the big ones....makes me quite interested to see a few of htose, actually.
