Celestial (Agathion)

Celestial (Ursinal Guardinal)
Celestial (Warden Archon)

I don't think they've been converted yet, but it might be worth to wait after the Book of Exalted Deeds is out.

Halfling, Wild

Rather different, but there is a ghostwise halfling in the Forgotten Realms.

Insect Swarm

Well, we all know that there are a number of swarms in the R3E MM...

Kenku

Kenku/Tengu are in Oriental Adventures.

Vodyanoi

I think they had stats for them on a DM's screen...

 

[Krishnath]

Knight_Otu: No offense, but the Tengu and the Kenku are not the same creature. The Tengu are noble and wise, and their feathers are black, while the Kenku are sneaky bastards that steal for sport and have brown feathers. They are probably related, but they are not the same species. It's like comparing Hobgoblins to Bugbears.

 

[X-Calator]

Out of curiosity, where did all the Creature Catalog monsters come from anyway? I know there are all kinds of books out there, but is the Catalog complete in at least its list of all the known official sources? I'm pretty sure you don't have every single monster here.

 

[Knight Otu]

The Tengu are noble and wise, ...

That's just what those sneaky bastards want you to think.

Knight_Otu: No offense, but the Tengu and the Kenku are not the same creature

true true..but in OA 3e they are mentioned in the same entry as being the same creature.

 

[BOZ]

Well, we all know that there are a number of swarms in the R3E MM...

not all of us knew that...

oh, they came from many and varied sources. some are 1E, some 2E, and a small few from OD&D; some are from hardcover books, modules, accessories, boxed sets, magazines... and some monsters come from more than one of the above!

as far as having every single known monster... we're much farther from that than some people would like to beleive. but, that's what keeps the site in business i guess, is always having new stuff to do!

 

[Krishnath]

Grazzt: I know that, but WotC also said in the 3E MM that the Wolf and the Hyena stats are them same, while in the R3E MM both creatures have seperate (and slightly different) entries.

Boz: Did you wan't my help with the dragons? I'll even throw in a sample dragon of each type (as WotC did in the Revised MM).

On the topic of which, I hate the ToH art for the Mist and Cloud dragons. (Sorry, just had to get that out, it has bothered me for some time.)

 

[BOZ]

krish, let me see the new book and then i'll give you an answer. i'm not even sure if we're going to be as detailed as the new MM or not... depends on how much work you all will want to help me with.
