okay - I can't get the damn stray comma out of the movement section so this will have to do https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/4182553-weresnake

I like keen smell so kept it in...fixed.... weresnake

ok corrected version here

Giant Tabanid corrected the dragonflies statted out thus far look good and am happy with adding flying reactions etc.

Ok so starting with a huge CR 3 Giant Tropical Damselfly...?

Oh god yes I remember these from BECMI! We have to do these first. Will have a look...

Fair enough. Could rename the "Converting Prehistoric Creatures" thread to "Converting Prehistoric Creatures and Assorted Creepy-Crawlies" thread...otherwise I could rename the "Giant tabanid (horsefly)" thread to "giant insect/arthropod homebrew"

I think 5e is short on giant insects. Musing on this.......got it, either Giant Robber Fly..or just a giant hornet (without geographic modifier) as natural 5e revision of the 1e/2e critter ...or both! 2e had giant hornets as larger than wasps qv

given it's CR, 10 (3d6) seems fine to me (pink text looks fine)

Ok so spells I had these...but some like magic missle could be swapped out pretty easily. Cantrips (at will): friends, light, poison spray, prestidigitation, vicious mockery 1st level (4 slots): command, inflict wounds, magic missile, shield of faith 2nd level (3 slots): dust devil, hold...

all sound good - also thinking of a fiery curse that makes opponents Vulnerable to fire damage - maybe combine with something that makes Resistant opponents non-resistance and Immune opponents Resistant? Innate Spellcasting. The efreeti firelord’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell...

Yeah...I was happy with Magic Resistance... STR 25 and CHA 24 Body of Smokeless Flame sounds intriguing too
