Wow; I'd forgotten all about the quaggoth until seeing it again in this thread. I want to do a Clark Ashton Smith-flavored campaign and these will make a perfect stand-in for the voormis.

Terrible mechanical constructs, clockwork horrors in Cydra are powered by radiomancy and motivated and commanded by Master Control, an informational entity of surpassing power. The ‘lesser’ clockwork horrors resemble mechanistic ants the size of a small dog, but more advanced models are very different. Lesser clockwork horrors come in copper, silver, electrum and gold models, and rumors persist of more powerful ones made of platinum or even adamantine. Advanced horrors are much more rare and dangerous.

The zorbo is another one of those nasty old school monsters that I've always wanted to use but never got around to. I know it's older than the 2e appearance I listed. But I'm old school enough that I like the idea of a vicious flesh-eating koala that totally ruins magic items.
