Fiend Folio

[Set]

I nominate Shadow Demon, Qullan and Living Wall.
What?

Shadow Demon and Qullan both rock. You lost me on the Living Wall though.

Four flumphs and a flail snail!!!

ding ding ding ding! I think I found a name for my next band!

I introduced the 4E eye of fear and flame--which development renamed to the "flameharrow," I believe to avoid confusion with the eye of flame beholder--in "The Ashen Covenant" article.

It's in Dragon 364: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drtoc/364

hey, cool did they at least keep "also known as..." or did they completely kill the name, which was one of the coolest aspects of this creature?

Edit: Ah, cool, "the flameharrow (sometimes referred to as an “eye of fear and flame”)"

It does, indeed, contain an "Also sometimes known as..." reference.

hmm, not sure where the livng wall debuted, but pretty sure it was not the 'Folio.

I've been able to sneak a couple of Fiend Folio monsters into adventures, too. The norker shows up in H2, along with the needleman reconcepted as the arborean.

A few other creatures started out as mechanics, then received major flavor makeovers. For instance, the qullan became the foulspawn berserker. The designed version floated around for a bit and then found a home in the foulspawn entry. I'd still like to do a version that keeps the original name and flavor.

I'd love to do the spawn of Kyuss and bullywugs. I also posted my take on the adherer and the blindheim over on my WotC blog. If I knew how to work the Intertubes better, I'd format them in HTML for easier posting.

hey, welcome to my thread... i've got to be more careful about accidentally summoning people by using their names, in case they're too busy. Cool on getting the norker involved, that one has been out of sight for some time. and i absolutely support you on getting the Qullan's name and flavor resurrected as well.

 

[BOZ]

by the way, i'd also like to take this opportunity to point out what i've been up to on Wikipedia.

The "living wall" appeared in White Dwarf 7 (June/July 1978). It was renamed "stunjelly" and included in the first edition Fiend Folio.

Hint: All three monsters Plane Sailing offered were created by the same person.

 

[Shroomy]

I'll go with the following:

Aarakocra
Bullywug
Jermlaine
Quaggoth
Yellow Musk Creeper (and Zombies)

ahh... well in that case, i won't call Conflict of Interest on him - this time.

as for the stunjelly aka living wall, i did actually picture the FF's stunjelly in my head and wondered if that might not be another name for it.

the name does call to mind a Ravenloft creature though, which is quite a bit different from the stunjelly.
