[the Jester]

The Jester, are you sure you aren't perhaps remembering the iridescent plecoe, which is a subterranean fish from Ruins of Undermountain II that was reprinted in MCA2?

Quite sure, I even remember the picture.

Regarding a few others: I have to say that a wight's a wight's a wight, and same thing with wraiths, unless they are markedly different.

Bone weird becomes boneyard in 3e & 4e.

 

[My Lego]

Looking at the first list do creatures that start with the letter F seem particularly cursed?

 

[jasonbostwick]

The Warforged Titan was updated to 4E in Monster Manual 2.

Regarding a few others: I have to say that a wight's a wight's a wight, and same thing with wraiths, unless they are markedly different.

Taking a closer look at those wights...

Bole-Wights: These are wights with the bole-undead "template" applied, which makes them slightly stronger and more resistant to turning.

Dust Wights: Described as "a gaunt, human-sized earth elemental with forever-crumbling features". These are undead creatures, but are formed by a conjunction of elemental earth and negative energy, rather than from the bodies of humanoids.

Half-Wights: According to Lords of Darkness, half-wights are a step in the "reproduction system" of wights. They are created by wights, have to follow the orders of their creators, and can eventually become wights by draining energy. They are about half as powerful as proper wights.

Icewights: Similar in genesis to ordinary wights, icewights "arise from the bodies of depraved folk who died in frigid places touched by shadow". They have an association with the Shadowfell and a variety of cold-based attacks.

Lavawights: These are epic-level undead, which are humanoid skeletons wrapped in molten magma. They are created from the remains of victims slain by shapes of fire.

Lesser/Master Wights: These wights from the Birthright adventure King of the Giantdowns are just slightly less powerful and one more powerful version of ordinary wights.

Time Wights: These wights are strange, half-decayed things that probably come from the distant future. They have power over the fabric of time, and a particular hatred for creatures with long or magically extended lifespans.

Wailing Wights: A cross between banshees and wights, wailing wights were created by Acererak from priests hired to consecrate his temple in the Undertomb

I'd say that the bole, half, lesser and master wights are close enough to ordinary wights to be considered the same. The other wights (dust, ice, lava, time and wailing) are all markedly different, and can probably be treated as new creatures.
