FrogGod games apparently did use the CR evaluation rules from the DMG on all of these monsters. However, the CR evaluation rules have a lot of swing in them: you can build creatures much deadlier than goblins on a CR 1/4 budget, according to the DMG rules, and many of the FEF monsters like Huggermuggers come out deadlier than MM monsters of the same CR level for that reason. (This could happen in AD&D as well: trolls were tougher and deadlier than mekillots, but mekillots gave you way more XP per kill because they had more HD.)TLDR; if Frog God is using the monster building guidelines more efficiently, that's a good thing. MM monsters are weak.</blockquote>
