Don't forget the Linnorms and Hellfire Wyrm from the MM2

Your wish is grantsd! The dwarven-fiend is in the MM2. Check out the "durzagon."

Two of my childhood favorites: The Secret Garden Half-Magic - Ed Bonny

This post is for JER and others in this situation... JER... You're in a tough spot! But one that can be patiently worked through. And I must stress patience. It has helped me to discuss this as rationally as possible sometimes working it out over many months. When such a talk got overheated...

Fey-touched vs. Half-fey - part 2 One more important point to make here: An aasimar is not a half-celestial. A tiefling is not a half-fiend. And so a feytouched creature would not be a half-fey. Feytouched are those in whose blood flows a fey lineage. Mayhaps grandpa was a korred? Great...

MM2: Templates vs. Fey-Touched For me, it's not about being easy. It's about taking the time to do it right by designing really cool things for D&D. :) That said, a half-fey template is an excellent idea but given the wide variety of fey and woodland humanoids, a single, generic half-fey...

Feytouched, neorxnawang and language... Alas, I cannot reprint my feytouched creature as it is the property of Wizards. But interest in feytouched both here and on the Wizards board has given me the idea of proposing an article for Dragon filled with feytouched beings. What do y'all think...

The feytouched was a creation of mine that (as we all know) didn't make it into the MM2. When I spoke to the interviewer about it, I had asked him to double-check the monsters I referenced since I hadn't seen a final cut of which monsters made it into the book. Feytouched was not a template but...

If all goes well, you might see an abeil article loaded with info on the bee-people in Dragon...

Sorry to disappoint but your adventure was not the inspiration for the Abeil (although it sounds like a really fun adventure). When I was asked to write for the MM2, I was also asked to create 10 of my own unique monsters in addition to updating/rewriting/fleshing out what Wizards asked. The...

Yes, the Bone Ooze was mine, too... Jeff Grubb said he wanted me to come up an ooze with lots o'sharp bony edges. - Ed Bonny

The fiendwurm was also one of my 'boyz' -- it started as a magical beast/worm with a portal to the Abyss in its belly. It became a much more nastier creature by the time it was finished. - Ed Bonny

I beg to differ... The Orcwort is brand new for 3e and brand new for the MM2 (it did appear in Dragon a few months ago as a preview to the MM2). I wrote up the Orcwort after getting the direction from Jeff Grubb to create a colossal static plant with mobile servant goblin-like children. I...

The titanic template does not apply to humanoids... only lesser creatures like vermin and animals. It makes them all gargantuan in size (so a titanic boar is the same size as a titanic mouse. Of course, you as DM could scale each creature larger by following the progression provided but for the...

The Titanic Creature is a template that turns a smaller creature into one of humongous proportion (think "Attack of the 50-foot Woman"). I bandied about with calling it "Gargantua" and "Gargantuan" -- but that made the templated creature sound like some 1950s B-movie. I went with Titanic because...

LOL - thanks for the clarification. All this d20 makes my head spin. ;) With this in mind, I can state for fact that the Bone Ooze is absolutely original, has nothing in common with any undead ooze, and has no undead qualities whatsoever. That also goes for the flesh jelly in MM2. - Ed Bonny

Planetouched The chaond is indeed the chaotic planetouched and the zenythri is the lawful one, thus rounding out the outer planar planetouched races. When I created these two, I was very surprised to see Dragon publish the Axani/Cansin (which btw are fantastic planetouched) so close to the...

Re: Hey Ed, remember the Hell Tree? :D That you have kept this for 5 years is ABSOLUTELY amazing... yes, I remember them! Wow.. what a blast from the past!

Bone Ooze Point taken but I would have been surprised if Wizards had made such a request. I was (happily) under contract to create monsters and (thankfully) not to review dozens of d20 products just in case any of my dozens o'monsters had been duplicated somewhere else. ;) BTW, is the undead...
