Hello! After asking Shade, I got the courage to put up the idea of converting some of the creatures that d20 Modern left behind from Dark*Matter. While Dark*Matter had few official supplements, it had some truly neat creatures, and I felt inspired to try and bring the rest of the party as well. A good reference for this project is definitely the official conversion rules from Wizards of the Coast here. One of the main reasons I wanted to start a thread here rather than endure this myself is that everything's better with allies (well, for the most part).
This is the primary list of what creatures I know of that need conversion (as well as those that have been converted in official d20 Modern supplements); anyone that can provide me some list aid for the core book or The Killing Jar would be welcome to (same with the Xenoforms stats if we get there before I get a new copy). Bold indicates the creature already has a reasonable d20 Modern analogue [with the source they can be found in within these brackets]. Note that some of these creatures share the name of d20 creatures but not necessarily the same stats. Creatures in both boldface and underlined can be clicked on for their converted stats.
