I like nightmare slime, a large Outsider from the plane of shadow. Esp now, as this year is The Shadow Year, when Shadow Dragons & their minions are at their peak, and any game run on a New Moon brings an encounter with a shadow dragon on top of whatever is already scheduled for that night. I...

In other beholder news, I once ran a beholder battle against a 1st level party. Horrible, shameless overkill? Not quite: The set up is the PCs are all meeting for the very first time. I set their miniatures in a ring, so they all faced each other, and allowed them to describe their characters...

Ah the Orange Dragon. Featured in (Spoiler Alert) Under The Storm Giant's Castle, one of my favorite 1st Edition 3rd party modules, a classic of the genre. 3E stats were printed in the Dragon Compendium making the orange a Very Young dragon at most. I made him a Mandarin Orange dragon and made...

Talislanta had several very worthy lizard folk. And the Expanded Psionics Handbook has a midget bug people. On my world, Thri-kreen wipe those guys out as soon as someone tries to play one, to maintain their status as the dominant bug people.

I like Drakes, but there is nothing "mid level" about a CR 3. And Dopplegangers should have a racial bonus to Forgery... :)

Dragon Magazine 60, one of the April Fools issues, had Baseball Bugbears.

The Orange Dragon appears in (Spoiler Alert) Under the Storm Giant's Castle, one of my favorite 1st Edition 3rd party modules. Young even by 1st Ed standards, converting over to 3rd Ed stats from the Dragon Compendium, he comes out as a very young (age 2) dragon. I fine-tuned him as a Mandarin...

I am not excited by this Fire Dragon, I'd just use a Red Dragon. This attempts to fill a niche which does not exist.

There's another parasitic ooze like thing from Dragon magazine called Lich's Blood. And I'd have to look up the spelling but a Xaaer (or something) is the ooze big bad from Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved. Magic the gathering produced the Mwonvuli Ooze (gets bigger every rd you fight it), S.N.O.T.-...

(Spoiler Alert) I ran Egg of the Phoenix, in which the big climactic battle features the Princes of Elemental Evil (and as a critic of the FF said in a Dragon Magazine Review- where are the Princes of Elemental Good? There must be some, or they would simply be called the Elemental Princes.) And...

I am going to disagree, this is not a great one- much of the Fiend Folio wasn't. Why not just use a real demon?

I just gave green dragons druid spells. I was going to go the full route and convert all the dragons to the Magic: The Gathering alignment system- Red = Chaos, Black = Evil, White = Lawful, Blue = Neutral, Green = Good, but I still have the metallic dragons so I didn't want to imbalance things...

Your error is pronouncing it "Werewolf", when it is actually a BEERWOLF. Yes, it is shocking and savage what inner beasts a foul potion can unleash upon an unsuspecting world.

I need stats for this, for I happen to have a Basselope Miniature. Back in the mists of time, there were Comedy Lords blister packs, among them was "Dwarven War Wagon": a dwarf, sitting in a radio flyer style wagon, firing a submachine gun, pulled by a basset hound. And LO, there was a set of...

I have players who experience constant rage, but no monsters. I like this one.

in addition to just making all parts oversized, an undersized part or parts would add to the hideousness. boils, pustules, running sores, discoloration and localized throbbing can be disquieting and unsettling. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't like the MM2 (actually the Lost Caverns of...

I'm guessing their treasure type is "stamps".

I needed a template. I want to stat some Dire Fruit Flies for Mad Goth's Castle.

I confused this with the "Tiramisu". Also, I object to it being a Hemaphrodite. If a monster is going to run around naked, the least it can do is threaten the party with its exposed junk.

I cannot believe that Justin Sluder is a monster. However, it's entirely possible that he was, in fact, "home brewed".
