I'm not sure if I'm allowed to submit another entry.... If not, I'll hold this one for another monster.
I had this idea while driving to and from San Diego today (6 hours in the car with my wife snoring in the passenger seat provides much time for my mind to wander).
Monster #2 appears as thin, bronze, faceted disk (8' wide) with numerous (1 per HD) wire-thin tendrils dangling from its perimeter.
Each tendril is serrated and has a 10' reach. When the creature attacks, it spins rapidly like a frisbee, creating a cutting edge as they lash through the air. On a critical, the tendrils act as a vorpal weapon.
The facets on the disk are actually its "eyes", providing all around sight (i.e. no flanking).
That's not all folks! As the tendrils whiz through the air, they also create a secondary effect, a high-pitched whine that causes all creatures within 100' to make a Will Save or fall to the ground in an epileptic-like seizure, frothing at the mouth.
And finally....if it wasn't apparent, this badboy flies.
I think I'll be tossing this at my PC's soon

So hard to choose....BOZ said:pete, i'll use one or the other, your pick.
I guess I'll stick with my first entry.
When in doubt, go for the GROSS-OUT!
If it isn't obvious.....I friggin' love this Monster Poll stuff. We should put out a book if it ever gets that big

This 11HD outsider projects an aura that perverts positive energy. Cure spells behave as Inflicts; Turning attempts empower those they would normally destroy; Raises and Resurrections serve to create undead.
Often found escorting large numbers of undead where heavy-duty clerical intervention is expected, they tend rely on Improved Invisibility to keep their presence hidden and their effect inexplicable.

ok, THAT'S IT! we got our 10. if you still had an idea, feel free to post it in case we need it (hopefully, i won't have to DQ any of these unless there's a good reason). first come, though, first serve. it's 2 am here, and i'm way too tired to set up any sort of effective poll, so... you'll have to wait until tomorrow. thanks all, the renewed interest is certainly gratifying!
Edit: on second thought, don't stop the ideas from flowing! tomorrow afternoon or early evening (or hell, whenever i find the time for it), i will sit down and pick my 10 favorites. that's something i didn't get to do for monster one, since it took several days to get to 10, whereas this time it only took one day. so keep em coming! and if you've done one already, and come up with an idea you like better, then plant a substitute in its place!
g'night.

Make my monster 12 HD.
(Hey, BOZ, if it truly gets done, could you smuggle my planar rulers template in?)
Na, this all gets added to the Tome of Horrors II.We should put out a book if it ever gets that big

Actually 12 sounds good - what about variable HD! It starts at 10HD but then HD increases to a max 15 HD!!! as it absorbs and overlays new forms!
MWAHAHAHAHA!
