What's left - yet to be converted!

I have not closed the polls yet (in fact, I’ve added links just in case you still want to vote), but I have tallied up the results as of today, and here they are. It’s been a couple of months since I put them up. I’ve also edited these lists to remove examples of my bad research in the original posts, as well as monsters posted since then. I may create more polls in time, for books other than the first 3 1E monster books.


What’s left from the Monster Manual (1977).

Results of the poll:
7 Beetles (rhinoceros, water)
5 Dolphin
9 Lizard (Minotaur)
5 Mammals, giant (beaver, lynx, otter, porcupine, ram, skunk)
6 Neo-otyugh - converted by Erica
8 Pleistocene animals (mammoth, irish deer, baluchitherium, titanothere, etc.) converted
6 Spriteconverted
6 Strangle weed - converted

Other creatures yet to be converted:
Buffalo
Bull and cattle
Crustacean, giant (crab, crayfish)
Fish (barracuda, eel, lamprey, masher, ray)
Fish, giant (gar, leech, pike, portuguese man-o-war, sea horse)
Flightless bird (ostrich, emu)
Herd animal (ox, giraffe, antelope)
Hyena
Jackal
Stag
Tick, giant
Turtle


What's left from the Fiend Folio (1981).

Results of the poll:
5 Assassin bug - converted
2 Enveloper - converted
4 Gorbel - converted by Erica
6 Gremlins (galltrit, mite) converted
4 Lizard king
2 Nonafel
2 Terithran
3 Trilloch
3 Umpleby

Pernicon
Poltergeist
Protein polymorph
Sussurus - converted
Symbiotic jelly
Thork - converted
Throat leech
Tiger fly
Troll (giant, spirit)
Urchin
Vision
Whipweed and Whitherweed - converted



What's left from Monster Manual II (1983).

Results of the poll:
4 Agathion
4 Baku
7 Dinosaurs (more dinos were in original MM as well)
9 Hordling
10 Lycanthropes (foxwoman, and seawolf)
11 Plants (bloodthorn, choke creeper, forester's bane (snapper saw), kampfult, mantrap, quickwood, retch plant, giant sundew, twilight bloom, black willow, zygom)converted

Whither the hippocampus?

I may have overlooked it, but has the hippocampus made it to 3E yet? I thought it was in the 1E MM, but I haven't looked recently.

good call. needed to update the post anyway.
and yes, dinos abounded in the 1E MM and MMII. and as if that wasn't enough, i'm sure there were quite a few more scattered throughout the 2E MCs and MCAs as well...

Unfortunatly the weredragon was changed to the song dragon in the new edition, perhaps someone should write up a Weredrake...

Yea, I was a bit dissapointed that they didn't have a better variety of dinos in the 3E MM. I was looking forward to seeing a write up of the pteradactyl and the brachiosaur.

Cambion is mentioned in the 3e MM under the Half-Fiend template...


However, there is going to be a "special" Cambion in the print version of the CC book......stay tuned.
