By the way, Undead Pete asked for a listing of monsters that have appeared in the pages of Dungeon. Here's a listing of the ones appearing in the magazine since 3E came out; note that [stats only] means that there was a stat block for the creature in question but not a full Monster Manual-type entry.
I'm not sure why there isn't anything for Dungeons #85, 88, and 90, but there's a a good chance I just forgot to update my files for those issues. It's also possible that I stopped being as meticulous as I was for #84, instead of there being a sudden drop-off in the numbers of new monsters. But in any case, this ought to be a good start, if anyone else wants to throw in their own observations.
Come to think of it, I know I'm missing some monsters: I'm positive there was a wooly mammoth (or something similar) listing in "Glacier Season," whichever issue that was in. And where's the kurge? I remember it was in the adventure with the Tharizdun cult. Okay, this apparently isn't an example of my best compilation work. Don't hold it against me, okay?

There were stats for a mastodon or mammoth (can't recall which) in the "Glacier Season" adventure. I don't recall the issue either, but there was one of the two monsters mentioned above in it.

hey, i liked the armadillephant - don't take my sarcasm seriously. and yes, if memory serves me, discussing that creature sparked the idea discussion that led to erica's hyrbid (aka abomination) template.

Scorpion - orc, Koalinth (sea hobgoblin) - asp, ant - kobold, wombat - goblin and ? I'm at a loss for the last.
Am I right ?

Originally posted by BOZ 38 - Brown dragon, yellow dragon, orange dragon, Tiamat, Bahamut (Leomund's Tiny Hut, Lenard Lekofka) Tiamat and Bahamut are first given diety status here, and appeared previously in the Monster Manual. They later appeared as the first 3rd edition creatures in Dragon 272, then in the Manual of the Planes, and Dieties and Demigods.
The Brown dragon is in its 3e avatar in Monster Compendium: Monsters of Faerūn.

Don't know the date, but they also appeared, under the name of Ee'aar, in the Savage Coast Monster Compendium (Mystara/Known World/Red Steel). See attachment. The Savage Coast MC may be downloaded freely from this page on Wizards' site.

The Scalamagdrion (typo corrected) is present in its 3e incarnation in Magic of Faerūn.
Originally posted by Richards 256 - Plague sidhe, plague spreader, parthoris gorgon, g'grokon (Heretic II: Creatures of Parthoris, Daniell Freed)
G'grokon ? I like the name. I even love the name. Any French man dreams about killing all the g'grokons.

Crow's-nest dragonnet -- I saw a conversion of them on a website (found back with a bit of googling), back at Eric Noah's time... Found the idea very cute. I'd like to get a good picture of them.
Originally posted by Richards Annual #4 - Suzara the Scold, Boldovar the Mad, Merendil the Bloody, Melineth the Grasping, Luthax the Fiery, Xanthon the Baneful (THe Ghazneths, Troy Denning)
Are these 3rd or 2nd Edition? If this is second, has anyone got a conversion?
Thanks

i don't know of any conversions of the ghazneths (they're 2E). i've gotten several requests for them, but i'm just not interested in them enough to do them myself.

I'll try to dig out my Annual #4 and maybe start converting monsters. When I read the Cormyr trilogy, I was really interested in the concept of old foes of the realm coming back to haunt today's king. It would fit perfectly in my Birthright campaign!

66 - Euparkeria, compsognathus, miniature animals, vulture, carnivorous flying squirrel, hawk/falcon, animal skeletons (Leomund's Tiny Hut, Lenard Lekofka) These creatures all appeared later in the Monster Manual II (wherein the miniature animals are called minimals). They all wound up in 2nd edition, but I don't feel like looking up where they wound up.
The minimals (under Mammal), falcon (under Bird), hawk (under Bird - also listed as Hawk, Large), vulture (under Bird) and animal skeletons (under Skeleton) appeared in the Monstrous Manual in 2nd edition. I believe they appeared other places too, but I'm not sure.

90 - Sinister, night hunter, werebat, hundar, gloomwing, azmyth (Bats That Do More Than Bite, Ed Greenwood) The sinister, night hunter, werebat, and azymth later appeared in the 2nd edition in Drow of the Underdark and MC11. The gloomwing and hundar later appeared in the 2nd edition in MC11 (the hundar became the hendar). The night hunter, sinister, and werebat appeared in the 3rd edition in Monsters of Faerun.
108 - Pernicon (The Pernicon: A New Version, John Nephew) The original version of the pernicon originally appeared in the Fiend Folio.
All except the hendar/hundar and the crab spider are in the 2nd Edition Monstrous Manual. The crab spider was in the Basic D&D set, also.
