The illustrations of them in Planescape can't be beaten. In the MMs they always seem... Nondescript I guess. Or just plain bad.Remember the Baatezu and Tanar'ri pictures from the 2E Monstrous Manual? Ugh! Looking at the Yugoloth pic from MMII it looks like we're getting more of the same.The Boggle? I hated that creature because of it's picture in the 2E MMII, things haven't changed much.Quinton Hoover was one of my favorite MTG artists, I said a long time ago that they needed some of his stuff in 3E. Happy Day.Glenn Angus is a marvel.The Lupinal and Cervidal don't look too bad, but I find Vinod Rams' stuff to be a mixed bag sometimes.I'm not a fan of Thri-Kreens, but that is a great picture.The Breath Drinker and the Bronze Serpent look like they were done by the same artist, so what went wrong with the Breath Drinker that didn't go wrong with the Bronze Serpent?Frost Salamander looks pretty cool. Needleman looks too much like an insect and not enough like a plant. Effigy is looking good. Zodar and Death Knight look great. Catoblepas finally looks like a halfway respectable monster, instead of something you'd see on Sesame Street. I always saw the Hook Horror as having a more atrophied and insect-like body. This one looks like a cross between a bird and a body builder.I will never understand why the Neogi and Grell keep turning up, I've never thought there was anything cool about them, they just look gross. Of course that has nothing to do with the quality of the illustrations.There are a few too many tentacle covered, gaping mawed creatures devoid of any personality or distinguishing features in 3E for my taste. There's at least 13 of them in this book alone. Blah. They must be working their way towards releasing stats for 40 different anime schoolgirls or something.Hehe, Myconids. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Anyway, No one wants to hear me critique every drawing.</blockquote>
