Conversions of Gygax's tinies: booka, killmoulis, jermlaine?

[Tav_Behemoth]

Last night I was dipping into the Fiend Folio and noticed a bunch of one-foot-tall or smaller creatures Gygax had designed but which haven't gotten nearly as much attention as other races he created around the same time (the drow, certainly, but even the snirfeblin get used more often).

According to the World of Sulerin site, the booka appears in Greyhawk (MC5) and 1E Fiend Folio; the killmoulis has a 3E conversion in Tome of Horrors 1, and also appears in the 1E Fiend Folio, Monstrous Compendium Volume 2, and Monstrous Manual; and the jermlaine, which has a 3E conversion in the Monster Manual II and also appears in Monstrous Compendium Volume 2, 1E Fiend Folio, Monstrous Manual, and Descent into the Depths of the Earth.

If anyone has seen 3.5 conversions of these monsters, wants to make suggestions for such, or just wants to share the love for these little guys, chime in!

Col. Playdoh just answered some questions about these creatures in this post, which raises the enticing prospect of looking into the original myths behind the booka and killmoulis!

The booka is on this site, and I believe it's part of the next batch of monsters to be updated to 3.5.

indeed it is! the jermlaine is up to WotC to revise. i think NG just recently issued the ToH1 revised PDF, but i have not seen it yet.

Don't forget the mite and synad (sp?)! They are fun critters for haunted house senarios and now that they can take levels...

snyad, aka pestie IIRC.

the jermlaine is up to WotC to revise.

I wrote to Andy Smith at Wizards for permission to mention the jermlaine in the planned revision of the Masters & Minions stirge book (which is what prompted my interest in critters small enough to ride a stirge), and perhaps to include 3.5 stats for jermlaines and/or create some variant races on the theory that the "bane-midges" and "jinxkin" are actually sub-species and not merely alternate names. No word yet, though.
