    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    How about the faerie or flitterling from AC9? From what I know about them they seem like pretty basic fey, useful to have stats for.

    Converting monsters from First Edition modules

    It's odd, I know, but the 2E MM insinuated that crimson deaths are linked to vampires: when a person's physical remains is animated as a vampire, the spectral remains become a crimson mist, and that each vampire has a crimson mist counterpart. Which I think is a pretty loopy idea. I'm rather...

    Converting monsters from First Edition modules

    I think Aberration is an appropriate type, yeah... like the fogwarden in the CC and ToH. Fits better than Undead, Outsider, or Elemental (the other likely choices), I think.

    Carnifax!

    I've never looked at the OD&D Creature Catalog, but I can tell you that they were not in the Mystara MC.

    Mind Flayer brain extraction question.

    Oh... right, sorry. Personally I would say 'no', that the brain matter gets digested. However, though, I'm no expert, and I hardly ever play anyway.

    Mind Flayer brain extraction question.

    It's been a while since I looked at The Illithiad, but if I recall correctly, after opening the brain pan with its tentacles, the illithid masticates the brain matter using its lamprey-like jaws; from there it passes down the esophagus to its stomach (if such terms can be properly applied to an...

    Converting Maztica and Horde monsters

    Between the three, Gaumhavi is the only dragon who doesn't have age categories... after her, I reckon that Monkey would probably be the highest level. Monkey. Man... back in high school my Chinese teacher wouldn't stop telling stories about that stupid primate. :p Up to three pages of...

    Hehe! Glad to be of some help. :D

    Converting monsters from Dungeon Magazine

    About the quesar... Planes of Conflict noted that a group of aasimon/angels went to Elysium and created the quesar from the earth of Belierin, the second layer, not energy.

    MARCH MOVIE MADNESS! : Frankensteins monster

    Well, the way I see it, 'having a life' and being a living creature aren't necessarily the same thing. Like the robot in Short Circuit... that guy was a sentient creature, but still didn't eat or sleep, so he'd still qualify as a Construct. Or something like that. That's just the first example I...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Helping Boz with CC 3.5: Converting Dragons.

    D'oh! My mistake. Apologies are in order.

    Converting prehistoric animals

    Hm... that's actually a picture of a lambeosaurus. An anatosaurus doesn't have any kind of a crest on its head.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Helping Boz with CC 3.5: Converting Dragons.

    The electrum dragon was converted to 3.0 a long while back by Graz'zt. Don't know where you might find it on the boards... And I'd also like to vote for the amber dragon.

    Converting Epic Level Beings

    I recall that Crius also had stats in 2E, in a Planescape book of short adventures... I'd point you to which book it was, but I can't remember the title...

    *grin* Thick-headed lizard. (Pachyderm means 'thick skinned'). See here.

    Converting Monsters from D&D Official Video Games

    One nitpick: perhaps you ought to change its home plane? Bane never lived in Baator... in 3E he lives in 'the Barrens of Doom and Despair' or some such, while in 2E he lived in Acheron.

    All the Different Types of Demons

    This reminds me, I ought to look at Unearthed Arcana and add the variant subraces to my humanoid lists on X's threads.

    Converting prehistoric animals

    I'm not as up on paleontology as I was when I was a kid, but I believe that Anatotitan is currently the accepted name. The creature commonly known as Anatosaurus was recently found to be merely a different species of Edmontonsaurus, I think. Not sure.
