Flavorful OGC Aberrations outside the SRD?

[Ry]

I was wondering if there were really, really flavorful OGC aberrations that people could recommend from outside the SRD. I'm looking for a kind of infiltrator, something that an Aboleth could turn skum into if it needed to (I'm thinking along the lines of the character at the end of the Doom That Came To Sarnath).

Any suggestions?

 

[Ry]

Alternatively, is there a big 100%-OGC monster book that I should look at?

There are some great aberrations in Slave Lords of Cydonia, by Bad Axe Games.

Hope This Helps,
Flynn

Twisted Lore by FFG is a 64 page 3.0 book of oozes, shapechangers, and aberrations, I remember thinking some of the aberrations were neat but I haven't read it in depth and don't remember the OGC declaration. The pdf is $5 http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=8446&

Denizens of Avadnu has a bunch of neat alien critters and is 3.5.

Complete Minions has a bunch of neat alien critters, is 3.5 and I know it is 100% OGC except the art. I don't remember how many aberrations are in there off the top of my head. I've used a bunch of humanoid, monstrous humanoid, outsider, magical beast, and ooze stuff from it though. $10 128 page pdf http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=2235&

Tome of Horrors I - III. Nearly 100% OGC. Tons of monsters.

Just for OGC monsters, a good place to start is the Creature Catalog conversions page. Among other free OGC monster books are the Book of Beasts and the Netbook of Creatures. I think there are more, but I don't have access here at work...

Mouseferatu created an illithid alternative (lots of tentacles inside a single robe), which is also showing up in Empire of the Ghouls later this year, in Classics of Fantasy, his SRD monster replacement PDF. (It doesn't replace EVERYTHING, but replaces the most glaring omissions.)

Ronin Arts has a whole PDF devoted to their illithid-like uberrace: Possessors: Children of the Outer Gods.

After reading some reviews of The Iconic Bestiary -- Classics of Fantasy, I think I might be interested in picking up this one.

Thanks,
Flynn

Quick sneak peek:

I don't know when it'll hit "e-shelves"--probably not for a while yet, due to development/production issues--but I've got a second "Classics of Fantasy" in the works, that covers even more of the D&D classic critters that didn't make the OGL.
