[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5390418, member: 57383"] Sorry, I left out the full explanation. I already knew of the Vaults of Pandius [URL="http://pandius.com/weed_eel.html"][B]conversion[/B][/URL], but that's not the Weed Eel in question. I'm talking about the AD&D version of the Weed Eel (the variety that lives in communal tunnels and has a deadly poisonous bite) that's in the [I][B]Monster Manual[/B][/I] (1977), [I][B]Monstrous Compendium Volume Two[/B][/I] (1989) and [I][B]Monstrous Manual[/B][/I] (1993). The BECMI version converted in the Vaults of Pandius (an eel that looks like seaweed and grapples/drowns its victims) may share a name, it's a different creature. EDIT: I've just checked the AC9 version of the Weed Eel and it has a poison bite, but the Vault of Pandius conversion forgot to include it! :ENDEDIT What? Isn't this the "Converting "Real World" Animal and Vermin thread"? Glances up to the top of the thread... Oh shazbut, I posted it in the wrong place. We'd better move this conversion to somewhere else. As far as I can tell the AD&D Weed Eel is not based on a real-life fish, so some other thread like the "Monstrous Compendium" or "First Edition AD&D" creature threads may be more appropriate. Getting back to this thread, I'll have to check the unconverted Dungeon monsters list to see if anything tickles my fancy. [/QUOTE]
