If you've got any other old favorites, let me know; there's a decent chance I've converted them, too.

I would love to see the dream larva, devastation vermin, and many of the abominations from 3.X get an official update.

How about some old Dragon magazine monsters?

Like the werebat (and various types of werebat)

or the Bleeder

 

[Corinnguard]

Guardinals, Celestial Eladrin, Archons, Lung Dragons, Planar Dragons, Para-Genasi.

Phantom Fungus from 3E. A bit of a one-trick pony, but one of my most memorable sessions in gaming involved a party taking on a trio of these. The native invisibility for a CR3 creature (if I remember correctly), had a group of 6 PCs struggling before a hard fought victory.

Cheers

Guardinals...Archons

I mean... three of each is a start right?

Hehe. The trouble would be which ones. Among the archons, my favorites were the Hound, Stag and Warden archons. As for the Guardinals, it was the Lupinal and PF1's Draconals.

This is a PF2 take on the Draconal.

The bleeder is in 5e as the death kiss.
