Creature Incarnation Articles

[Shroomy]

The "Creature Incarnations" series of articles in Dragon are some of my favorites to appear in the 4e version of the magazine. So far, we've had kobolds, gnolls, and zombies expanded upon via this series, so I'm wondering, what other general type of monsters from the 1st 4e MM do you want to receive this treatment?

To start things off, I want to see more types of angels. I really like the 4e version of angels, so I'd like to see more than the four depicted in the MM.

What are your thoughts?

Weaker elementals? I think that it would be nice to include stuff like that in the low heroic tiers so that it can eventually turn into a major thing. For the moment, Storm Elementals would probably be the way to go, mainly because they've put out a Primordial.

Oh, I freaking love these articles.

While it's not a Creature Incarnation article (but a Bestiary article; whatever the difference is), we also have received oozes and constructs.

As for expanding types:

Lycanthrope: Quite a few types they've neglected.
Behemoths: Can't go wrong with dinos!
Homuculus: There is much more they could do.
Sahuagin: Room for more. Especially since you have to go to the AV just to find stats for a shark.
Foulspawn: Larger variety is possible here.
Ooze: Sure, the bestiary had some, but I want more.
Mind Flayer or Aboleth: Not just mind flayers, but various mind flayer or Aboleth experiments/pets, as well as "Lords of Madness" conversions.

Flumph?

I think the intention of the Creature Incarnations is to expand on monsters in the MM1, instead of breaking new ground. If it was about introducing new monsters, I want an expanded article on more Fey.

It should also be worth noting that The Siege of Bordin's Watch has a ton of orcs and orogs in it.

Far Realms (sorry, Foulspawn -why change the name?), but anyone that's read my comments here would predict that answer.

Fungus/Myconoids

Not sure it would fit the creature incarnations bill, but more mounts.

You did see the ones in the Adventurer's Vault, right?

I also included a lot of gnolls in Den of the Destroyer.
