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

BOZ · 22nd January 2002, 09:35 PM

These are the final remaining creatures, yet to be converted from the Monster Manual (1977 version). Take you time, and let us know what you want to see here!

If this poll is successful, I will add more like it soon.

I have already done a conversion of the ordinary Sprite (not soda pop), but vote for it anyway if you want to see it in the Creature Catalog.

Since there are only 10 spots open on a poll, I had to leave the following creatures out, so if you want to see them, respond to this post:

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
Slug, giant
Stag
Tick, giant
Turtle

BOZ,

For what it's worth, the Subterranean Lizard has already been converted, in "The Forge of Fury".

DnDChick · 22nd January 2002, 09:46 PM

And Scott already has the giant slug and (I think) giant tick on the site.

my bad, i meant to check the creature locator before i posted that... but c'est la vie, i forgot.

looks like you can also scratch the mastodon off that list.

I was torn between the Giant Mammals and Pleistocene Mammals. I voted for the Giant, but would really like to have voted for both

BOZ · 23rd January 2002, 12:11 AM

i thought i set it so you could vote for more than 1...

Uhm...Cerebral Parasites can be found on page 37 of the Psionics Handbook (under Psionic diseases.)

ColonelHardisson · 23rd January 2002, 01:04 AM

Were you thinking of converting the Pleistocene and giant animals as advanced versions of the ones in the 3e MM, where applicable? Since it's Boz that posted this thread, I assumed so, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

for the most part, yes. unless someone else has a better idea.

Krishnath · 23rd January 2002, 01:27 AM

Well, I'm glad to have been of service.

I have a semi-conversion of the dolphin somewhere, although I must admit I increased it's intelligence to 9 to more accurately show the creatures high intelligence... Don't know If I should post it or not...

Nope, it tells me that I've already voted on the poll... if there is a link or button to push in order to vote again, I cannot find it.

A2Z · 23rd January 2002, 03:30 AM

After watching that discovery channel special how could I not vote for the Pleistocene Mammals.

**Grazzt** · 23rd January 2002, 04:55 AM

I did the Minotaur Lizard for a Necromancer project. Just havent posted it on the site yet.

**Grazzt** · 23rd January 2002, 04:57 AM

Same thing with the Giant Crab. It will appear in a Necro product in the future. Just gotta post it on our site here sometime.

Great poll though BOZ. Didnt realize we had done so much work.

When you first vote you can click on more than one box and get multiple votes that way. The polls seem to use the system that if you are checking a white box you can click more than one choice (and it registers them all). if you are clicking on white circles you only get one choice.

Once you've voted though you can't cast another vote.

Try posting a test poll in Meta and try it out if you like.

Cheers

I posted my request for the Man-o-war before I even read this post. I would love to see the the Fish, Giant converted to 3rd Edition.

hmm, that sucks.

Desdinova · 23rd January 2002, 08:10 AM

I'd vote for any of the normal mammals remaining (hyena, etc). Both for the fact that they are probably among the least likely to show up in the next one (since it's going to focus on bigger CR's), and for use for other things like Druids and Rangers and such.
