Another Creature Catalog query for Dragon?

BOZ

Creature Cataloguer
well, what do you say, want to go again? :)

this time i'm thinking of pitching just conversions from the more obvious notable sources. i mean, look at where all 5 of the last conversions came from: the 1E monster books, Monstrous Manual, and the MC annuals. so, i'm going to pick a bunch of things from there and pitch them. maybe put it to another poll, maybe not.

i went through each of the sources and picked out some things i'd consider working on. i skipped a lot of monsters, especially anything that's been in a recent query from us, anything that's just too silly, or anything i don't care to work on (mind you, these concepts are subject to my flights of fancy). take a look at these lists and tell me if something has been converted in an official 3E source, or if i put anything on there that we definitely should not work on. depending on how many are left, i may indeed put it to a poll.

Not too many, though. :)

I'm surprised at how few of the classic sea critters made it into Stormwrack. I think the barracuda and piranha swarm were the only real fish.
 

What do you want us to do ?

Make a personal list and you'll pick the top 10 to be converted ?

If so, here's my personal list:
Fiend Folio
Guardian Familiar
Hoar Fox
Ice Lizard

Monster Manual II
Baku
Thunder Beast

Monstrous Manual
Kobold, Urd

Monstrous Compendium Annual One

Hope that help

P.S.
Monster Manual II
Dragonnel = Draconomicon
 


Cyclopskin - Dragon Magazine - Not sure the Number though. When I get home I'll check it.
Dracolisk - techically a half-black dragon basilisk. This was confirmed on the wizards web site in a web enhancement (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20031128a) which has the actual stats.
Cave Fisher - I seem to recall this beastie being in Stormwrack.
Dragonnel - Draconomicon

Otherwise, as Shade mentioned above...

Cave Fisher wasn't in Stormwrack.

However, it is on my list of To Be Converted. So...
Cave Fisher
Rot Grub
Slithering Tracker
Caterwaul
Scarecrow
Skeleton Warrior
Tuyewera
Chaos Imp
Urd

Also a few more that have already been converted - kamadans were in Dungeon 136. Thunder beasts were converted for the Shackled City Adventure Path.

Demiurge out.
 

was it thunder beasts or stench kows?

and you don't have to give me your picks - if i do a poll (and i probably will), you can tell me then. :)
