Monster vault: I has it

[Fiery_Dragon]

What oozes are in MV?

Ochre Jelly, Green Slime, Gelatinous Cube, Black Pudding, Black Pudding Spawn (a pudding minion)

 

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Seeing as how I started the elemental controversy in this thread, I might as well keep it going...

How different are the various lesser elementals from their equivalents in MM3 (so, just comparing them to the weakest of each type in that book)?

 

[(Psi)SeveredHead]

Soldiers as in "Human, Soldier?" No.

I've made a ton of them (using the new damage rules/formats), including a bunch of minions. But it's hard coming up with good encounter abilities.

I still need to do archers; gotta get back to work!

 

[Fiery_Dragon]

Is it really the case there are no Ancient Dragons in this book? I find that incredibly annoying if that's the case.

Also, did they redo Orcus?

And finally, what are the new dracoliches like? They aren't as horribly terrible as the ones in the original MM are they?

Just the Elders mentioned before, and no metallics at all.

No Orcus.

Demons: Dretch Lackey, Babau, Vrock, Abyssal Eviscerator, Hezrou, Marilith, Balor

Devils: Imp, Succubus, Chain Devil, Legion Devil Hellguard, Legion Devil Veteran, Ice Devil, Pit Fiend

I was about to be somewhat angry but the Doomlords delicious statblock makes up for it. I guess I can make my own ancient dragons then and there is a hole that I can fill.

What are the succubus and Balor like? The original MM1 Balor is one of the saddest monsters in 4E.

 

[Dragonhelm]

Yes.

Score!

 

[hung-low]

Are there any trolls in it. And if so, how are they different?

 

[Obryn]

What are the succubus and Balor like? The original MM1 Balor is one of the saddest monsters in 4E.

The Balor got a huge boost as of Demonomicon. He was revised for one of the delves.

-O

 

[Fiery_Dragon]

The original MM1 Balor is one of the saddest monsters in 4E.

New Balor kicks the old Balor's a$$.

"Beheading Blade" is the name of one of it's close blast 3 powers.

What level is the new Balor?
