The Couatl has an entry in the MM, under Couatl. It's on like page 143 or something.

Monster-wise = the quaggoth Art-wise = probably the roper

I kinda dig that it has damage resistance against magical weapons, and immunity to nonmagical.

Wait. What?

Supposed to be in the DMG from what I've heard. (I think someone from WotC, Mearls maybe, said it.)

MM says "it is widely believed" that basically Asmodeus commissioned a group of night hags in Gehenna to create them. He wanted an army of fiends not bound to the Nine Hells. Common traits (I didn't see them listed ala 3.x so I did a quick comparison of the four in the MM): Damage Resistances...

Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. Just replaced monsters/NPCs with 5e equivalent or whipped up/converted them based on the info we had at the time. Now that I have the MM, we've talked about doing a one-shot through B4 The Lost City or I3 Pharaoh.

Once the DMG comes out, it'll obviously be easier. One thing you can do for now is design or convert your monster. Look at it's hit point total after converting to 5e. Find a few monsters in the DM Basic Rules around the same HP. Look at their CR. Set your monster's CR to that. Then look at...

Definitely add the "How do you figure attack bonus, saves, skills, etc. Skills, attacks, and saves are ability bonus + proficiency bonus. Prof. bonus is based on CR not the monster's Hit Dice. Some monsters have expertise on skills or saves (similar to the rogue's ability; add double the prof...

And thus was born the "Card Catalog Golem"

DM's Basic Rules that WotC put up. Can snag them here... http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules EDIT: Jadrax beat me to it.

Lamia drains Wisdom doesn't it? I believe I read that somewhere.

They were listed as less than a foot in 2e. 1e had them as "M" (medium).
