Hmm...I wonder what I did there. :confused:
Based on the cached version of the CC, it does look like they were loaded twice:
http://www.enworld.org/cc/converted/view_c.php?CreatureID=1669
http://www.enworld.org/cc/converted/view_c.php?CreatureID=1688

But I'm quite fond of these guys, so I don't mind them appearing twice :)

Oops! This I know...it was the Aoskian Hound. :blush:

Excellent. One more I can cross off.

As an aside: You guys have converted a truly enormous number of constructs and undead over the last six months -- those have dropped by about a third each, and the remaining plants are also dwindling pretty fast. But oddly enough, not a single elemental was converted during the time I've been away!

Yeah, I tend to get caught up on "themes", as well as the satisfaction of finishing off a category. ;)

Plus, most of the remaining elementals aren't too exciting. :P

Well, at least that's going to get easier the shorter the list gets. Only 4 dragons, 12 plants and 20 elementals left; and eight of the settings/sources also have fewer than 20 creatures left :).

On the other hand, the pile of animals and magical beasts from Dragon and generic 2nd Edition sources is still... intimidating :(.
 

Before the leaves begin to fall...
...10 plant monsters make a final stand in the Creature Catalogue.

This batch includes the narcotic Bloodflower, the adhesive Clubthorn, the magical Helborn, the thieving Pilfer Vine, and the entrapping Giant Pitcher Plant. Also included are the odd, explosive spawning Rekeihs, the choking Strangle Vine and Strangler, the snow-shedding Frost Treant, and the wave-throwing Weed Giant.

Note: I also added the "horse-bat" bit to the hendar.
 

Not from around these parts
This week the Creature Catalogue brings you 10 more extraplanar creatures.

From the exotic city of Sigil hails the eye-gouging Executioner's Raven. The Elemental Plane of Air gives us the gryphon-like Hgaun, while the Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus is home to the colossal, mysterious Flard. Acheron is home to the vile Sugo, and further along the River Styx we find the snake-haired Charuntes of Hades. The canine Rummele wanders the Upper Planes, while the Shadow Wolf hunts from the Plane of Shadow. The enigmatic Being of the Ball calls the Astral Plane home, and the Ever-Changing Chaos of Limbo is haunted by the Nameless Limbo Thing. Finally, the dazzling, beguiling Al-Jahar may have once originated on another plane, but now terrorize the Material Plane.
 

Did someone rub my lamp?
Ten genies grant your wish this week and make their Creature Catalogue debut.

The Tasked Genies are a specialized lot of geniekind. This group includes the bureaucratic Administrator Genie, the talented Artist Genie, the constructing and demolishing Builder Genie, the protective Guardian Genie, the animal-tending Herdsman Genie, the deadly Slayer Genie, the troop-commanding Warmonger Genie, and the delightful Winemaker Genie.

Rounding out this batch is the Markeen, or "genie double", and the foul, man-eating Ghula.
 

Halloween Horrors
Ten frightful fiends haunt the Creature Catalogue!

The terror begins with the vampiric fey known as the Baobhan Sith. The Zombie Puppet is actually a tiny tomb-tained construct, while the Undead Trophy Head is an animated severed head, often wall-mounted to increase the horror. Speaking of severed heads, the Galley Beggar enjoys removing its own head to terrify mortals. The Goat Demon is not a true demon, but a vile undead minion of Orcus. The Skleros is a skeleton that retains some memory of its fighter training, while the Ghost-Stone is a variant ghost template bound to a stone phylactery. Neglected Ancestral Spirits are super-wights that torment the descendants who've forsaken them. Hoarfrost Treants arise from treants that met a bitter end, and now wield an arsenal of unholy cold powers. Rounding out the batch is the legendary vampire, Dracula!
 

Aberrant Behavior
This week, we bring you ten new aberrations.

First up, we've got the many-armed, multi-weaponed Marl. The Great Vilstrak is a tougher version of the typical marl mugger. The Shadowsponge is an odd spacefaring creature that detects and consumes breathable air. Its entry also includes the mysterous Herd Clouds that often accompany them. The Thing That Should Not Exist is pure Lovecraftian, insanity-inducing horror.

Rounding out the batch are six variant mimics. The Killer Mimic is a more feral version of the traditional mimic, while the Greater Mimic is larger and more intelligent. The Metal Mimic prefers to imitate metallic objects, and can give itself a false magical aura and generate light to better imitate a magic item. The Killer Metal Mimic blends two of the above variations, while the Space Mimic is a spacefaring spellcaster. Finally, the mighty Juggernaut Mimic imitates the similarly-named rolling construct.

Special thanks to Cleon for leading the mimic conversions!
 

You've added my Killer Mimic to the CC, but the source accreditation is wrong. The Killer Mimic debuted in Gygax's 1977 Monster Manual, not the Monstrous Compendium Volume Two.
