I suppose a major reason could have been settings, with AD&D being Greyhawk (sort of, anyway), Forgotten Realms, and Heroic Fantasy, and BD&D being The Known World, some Blackmoor, Pellucidar, and Pulp Fantasy/Swords & Sorcery?

I'm curious. Could it be argued that the BX/BECMI/RC91 Spitting Cobra (1 HD, 3' long) is not the same as the African Spitting Cobra that is mentioned in MCC1 Snake - Spitting (4+2 HD, 8' long)? Admittedly, MCC1 is a bit of a mess, but shouldn't the latter actually be Giant African Spitting...

Heh. True that. The same mechanism may have been at work for the various Martians, and the Apts, Banths, Thoats, Calots, Thoats, Orluks, Sith, Tharks, and Darseen. Perhaps not so for the White Apes, though, for wasn't there a version in Moldvay Basic? EDIT: +'t'

For what it's worth, dear Sir, you can unspoiler the iron cobra and the werebear. :)
