[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6940146, member: 57383"] [b]Monsters of Nehwon[/b] There are a fair few creatures in various D&D sources based on Fritz Leiber's [I]Lankhmar[/I] books that haven't been converted. I'll compile a list of them when I can find the spare time, but off the top of my head I'd give priority to the following: Death Coral ([I]since we've already done the coral it's a Nehwon-only subentry for[/I]) Simorgyan ([I]since it's connected to the Sea Cloaker and Pungi Ray we've already converted[/I]) [EDIT] Anyhow, here's a fairly complete list based on everything in Echohawk's index with the setting tag of "Lankhmar": [SIZE=4][B]Animals & Monsters[/B][/SIZE] Askhalite Skeletal Bat[COLOR=#ffa500]*[/COLOR] Behemoth[COLOR=#ffa500]*[/COLOR] - Behemoth, Black - Behemoth, Snow - Behemoth, Swamp Bird of Tyaa Ice Cat - Ice Cat, Spotted Cat, War Cloaker, Sea [[COLOR=#00ff00][I]converted[/I][/COLOR]] Cold Woman - Cold Spawn Coral, Death Coral Coral, Giant Coral [[COLOR=#00ff00][I]converted[/I][/COLOR] as Coral Worm] Deadly Smog Devourer Hamadryad[COLOR=#ffa500]*[/COLOR] Eater of Souls Eel, Poison Ghoul, Kleshite Ghoul, Nehwon Gnome, Ice Hydden Invisible of Stardock Marsh Leopard Leviathan[COLOR=#ffa500]*[/COLOR] Gladiator Lizard Monolisk Night Gaunt[COLOR=#ffa500]*[/COLOR] Ray, Invisible Flying Rayfish Ray, Pungi [[COLOR=#00ff00][I]converted[/I][/COLOR]] Shree-kah Simorgyan Snake, Water Cobra Snake, Snow Serpent Spectral Hound Spider, Salt Stalking Death Vampire, Lankhmart Marsh Vulture Astral Wolf Wolf[COLOR=#ffa500][I]*[/I][/COLOR] [[I][COLOR=#ff0000]just a wolf[/COLOR][/I]] Wolvern Worm, Giant The above merits a few notes, indicated by *asterisks. [LIST=1] [*]The [COLOR=#ffa500][B]Skeletal Bat[/B][/COLOR] is different from Ravenloft's Skeletal Bat. [*]The [COLOR=#ffa500][B]Behemoth[/B][/COLOR] is basically "an orca with legs", so different from D&D's [URL="http://www.enworld.org/creaturecatalog/Conversions/Behemoth%20(Giant%20Hippopotamus).htm"]Behemoth (Giant Hippopotamus)[/URL]. [*]The [COLOR=#ffa500][B]Coral[/B][/COLOR] was a MC entry in LNA2 [I]Nehwon[/I] (1990) that included a "Giant Coral" that was reprinted in the MCA4 as the [B][URL="http://www.enworld.org/creaturecatalog/Conversions/Coral%20Worm.htm"]Coral Worm[/URL][/B] and a "Death Coral" that only appears in LNA2. [*]The [COLOR=#ffa500][B]Hamadryad[/B][/COLOR] has different powers but is similar to the Forgotten Realms [URL="http://www.enworld.org/creaturecatalog/Conversions/Hamadryad%203.5.htm"]Hamadryad[/URL]. [*]The [B][COLOR=#ffa500]Leviathan[/COLOR][/B] is a giant cephalopod, not a whale like a standard D&D Leviathan, although the whale version also exists in Lankhmar — i.e. the Deep Rusher in the short story [I]The Mer She[/I] and D&D's [I]Lankhmar: City of Adventure[/I] (1993). [*]The [COLOR=#ffa500][B]Night Gaunt[/B][/COLOR] is the HP Lovecraft monster, so is covered in the d20 version of [I]Call of Cthulhu[/I]. [*]The [COLOR=#ffa500]Wolf[/COLOR] is simply an ordinary Wolf so is already covered by the SRD. [/LIST] It might also be worth considering the gods & demigods from the Lankhmar section of [I]Deities & Demigods[/I] or [I]Legends & Lore[/I] to decide if any of them are worth converting. I would be tempted to do the manifestation of Hate and some of the others (i.e. the Gods of Lankhmar) are worth considering. [SIZE=4][B]Deities & Demigods[/B][/SIZE] Aarth (Demigod) Death (Greater God) Gods of Lankhmar (Demigods) Gods of Trouble (Lesser Gods) Hate (Lesser God) Kos (God of Dooms) Issek of the Jug (Demigod) Nehwon Earth God (Lesser God) Rat God (Lesser God) Red God (Lesser God) Spider God (Demigod) Tyaa ([I]winged goddess of evil birds[/I]) (Lesser Goddess) Votishal (Demigod) [/QUOTE]
