Crud man i was looking foreward to converting these jokers. just got burned out of Kertzit. Oh well so what do we do next?

>=)
 

just keepin the good stuff for myself. ;) no seriously, like i said, if they accept the proposal you know we'll be coming here for as much input as usual, like we did with the Monsters of the Mind article (coming up in Dragon #337), and the Ferrous Dragons article (which we haven't heard anything about yet).

seriously, don't tell me you don't think it would be way cool to see something like that, done by us, in Dragon mag. :)
 


Paring down the list further...

Eltab (Spellbound boxed set)....appears in Champions of Ruin.

Spirits of the Air (Chinese - also appeared in Planescape campaign setting)...and appear in MMII.

Japanese monsters (Tanuki, Hannya)...hannya appears in Oriental Adventures, but is decidedly un-epic.

Age of Heroes - Scylla....is rumored to be an archdevil in Stormwrack...perhaps they have plans for her in Fiendish Codex II?
 

Which leaves us with...

Archomentals (Good) (Ben-Hadar, Chan, Sunnis, Zaaman Rul)

And from the first edition Deities and Demigods, as well as the second edition Legends and Lore, there are a number of beings that are not quite gods but very powerful all the same. These include:
Air Maidens (Finnish – Ukko’s warriors)
Antaeus (Greek giant)
Dahak (Babylonian three-headed dragon spirit of death)
Enceladus (Greek giant)
Fenris Wolf (Norse)
Garm (Norse guardian of Hel-gate)


Legends and Lore additions:
American Indian monsters (Big Head, Gahonga, Ohdowa)
Chinese monsters (Neglected Spirit, Ancestral; Generals of the Animal Spirits)
Greek monsters (Gigantes - Antaeus & Enceladus)
Japanese monsters (Tanuki)
Norse (Fafnir)

Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga - Baba Yaga

Plus, there are some monsters lurking in the other conversion thread queues that are better suited for this thread:

From D&D Immortals Set:
Draeden
Dragon Rulers
Elemasters
Megaliths
Tonals

From Dragon Magazine:
174 - Crystalle (The Dragon's Bestiary, Matthew P. Hargenrader)
230 - Zakhur Lifesbane the Guardian (Fire in the Five Peaks, Ed Stark)
248 - Vore Lekiniskiy "Master Fire Worm" (The Dragon of Vstaive Peak, Ed Stark)
260 - An-Ur the Wandering Death, Dhrakoth the Corruptor, Mordukhavar the Reaver, Medrinia, Xathanon, Vanathor the Golden Harpist (Spawn of Tiamat, Children of Bahamut, Keith Francis Strohm)...which I've already converted, but we can always retool for the CC.
Annual 4 - Ghazneths

I4 - Oasis of the White Palm
Aeraldoth (vizier to Caliph of the Djinn)
Pasha of the Efreet (Vizier of the Fire Sultan)

...and I'm sure I'm missing more. ;)
