Wouldn't a blink steel wooly mammoth be pretty scratchy for someone to ride? Even a turduckenbunny?
Back from the threadjack...
So I'm glad to do a 3.5 update of BOZ's dracohydra here, too, so it can go in the CC if you all want. Meanwhile, I'll put the others on my own web page.

Thoughts on the mantidrake:
- This almost looks like a half-dragon manticore, advanced to gargantuan size, except for the hit dice being small. Comments as to whether this would be better as a huge monster with 6-8 HD or gargantuan with 12HD?
- Not sure about including the yellow and brown varieties, since they're not core dragons. Especially the brown, since it's not OGC.
- Damage on the natural attacks seems quite low. That'll get bumped up based on size.
- Not sure what to do with the intelligence, since they're listed as not quite as smart as half-dragon manticores. Maybe the magic that increased the size and potency of the breath weapon made the intelligence not take?

Should probably add a subtype in for these, along with the breath weapon and immunity, to make it more draconic than just a half-dragon.
