Stunjelly FTW!

Did anybody ever update the masher from the original MM? It was one of the original AD&D monsters that never got an illustration. I have a feeling people forgot it was even in the book.

Cheers,

So, does this mean that Necromancer really should start worrying about being able to do a 4e revamp of the Tome of Horrors? Sounds like WotC already has plans for at least some of the IP included in the original ToH. :\

Nope. Not at all

I dont believe it ever did get updated actually. If so, Ive never seen it (in a WotC book or 3rd party book)

Yes. The masher is in Dungeon #141, p46.

Also, I feel obliged to point out that the githyanki first appeared in White Dwarf #12. Their appearance in the 1981 Fiend Folio was only their third appearance in print.

Quick punt: complete index of all D&D creatures..

Am I misremembering or was the Disenchanter from the FF? It was pony sized animal with a proboscus. It sniffed out magic items and when it touched them with its trunk it sucked the magic out of them permanently.

Correct. 1e FF.

If the cifal makes the 4e MM I will consider switching over.

Bear with me on this. The CIFAL was actually an interesting monster, reminiscent of Frank Herbert's The Green Brain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Brain. Like many original Fiend Folio monsters, it suffered from poor naming conventions. No one would want to use a monster called a Cybernetic Insect Formed Artificial Life!
