Me personaly, I never use the MM. I think my players have memorized so many of the creatures, that they know all the specialized attributes, feats, etc.  Now, I know this is metagaming, but some players just can't help it. I have found myself creating some wicked creatures, and plots because of my desire to constantly freak out my players. Our regular game session of D&D, has been in TWLD (which I personally think is a poorly written waste of money), and to keep the party interested, I have devised a wicked little scenario involving a goblin priest of a so-called god, who happened upon a magic item that allowed him to be possessed by an evil lich, who happened to create an interesting well of elemental-demon spawning. The characters have no idead whats going on, and had just entered a room with a couple of barghests, fighting a pair of these mixed-bone-undead-scorpion-tailed-flaming creatures. Taking the side of the barghest, they defeated the flaming things, while taking damage for being within 5-foot every round, with saving throws every other round just to tolerate the heat. Oh yea, they exploded when killed. It was a blast!!! Anyway, straight MM, or do you feel you have to change the creatures for your group?</blockquote>
