Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

[Cleon]

Another creature to consider is the power slug

I was thinking we should finish converting the Creature Catalog monsters in Dragon #89, #94 and #101.

We should also do the Priests of Ythog-Nthlei of the Temple of Poseidon adventure in Dragon #42 since they're linked to our Ythog-Nthleir conversion. There are a few other marginal monsters in that adventure, like the Sand Squid and Screamer, but those seem lower priority.

Apart from that, there are a few other articles we've done most of the monsters for, such as Monsters of the Deep in Dragon #190, Opening the Book of Beasts in Dragon #199, Spawn of the Sewers in Dragon #238, Monsters of the Volcano in Dragon #265, Designing Dungeon Monsters in Dragon #267, Arctic Monsters in Dragon Annual #2 and Urban Monsters in Dragon Annual #3.

Oh, and there's Uzaglu the Undead Myconid King in Dungeon #67, but that's a different thread.

Monsters of the volcano had at least 1 dragon in it I believe.

Yes, the Beljuril Dragon, but we've already converted that one. If I remember rightly it's the only creature from that article we've converted, but the others look quite interesting.

Okay, thanks

So do you have any preferences for which beastie to convert next on this thread?

Personally I favour the Priests of Ythog-Nthlei in Dragon #42.

Not really

Maybe the power slug?

The Powerslug seems a bit boring. It could be converted as a Hazard pretty easily.

The Priests of Ythog-Nthlei look more interesting to me.

Do you need the powerslug for a game or does a conversion just tickle your fancy? If you have no pressing need for the monster I'll suggest we wait to see which Freyar prefers.

I'd go for the priests of Ythog-Nthlei since we finished converting the big guy a while back. It's always good to finish a set.
