Thanks for all of the feedback, guys. I didn't really expect it to take off like this.
Now, onto individual monsters
Hmm... apparently I was looking at the wrong illustration on the ahuizotl. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll edit it.
Andrew Gable, thanks for the wyrg tip. Probably explains both where Tolkien got the name and how TSR got away with it. Also, the gnoll reference comes from an interview with Gygax that was one of the threads on this board, although Dunasay might have been a subconcious influence (Dunusay's depictions of fantasy lands and the Faerie court were also probably DnD influences). And yes, I did simplify the lamia a little. This will also be edited. Also, I have heard reference to Chysaor before, but only in passing. What was it (other than a flying horse)? What was Pegasus then? And was that "we'll let that pass" statement a subtle reference to you being a group entity?
I hadn't heard of the Hungarian tie to ogres before. Interesting... My source for the orc connection was the book Giants, Monsters and Dragons, which was my biggest source for this info. Also an excellent book.
Demiurge out.
