MONSTERS FROM BEYOND REDUX

[Florin]

The Fey from C.S. Friedman's Coldfire trilogy.

The gua-ould of Stargate.

 

[Psion]

Ooooooooohhh - you mean the billion-year dead race that enslaved most of the galaxy? Yikes! Good call! How about the Pak, then?

Funny thing... we actually put the Pak in Traveller and our other early SF gaming experiences.

 

[Rune]

How about Dufflepuds from C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia?

 

[Guacamole]

Magic the Gathering.....

Thrulls

icky undead hybrids... they wiped out several empires

Mindstab Thrull makes you forget spells and psionic powers.
Necrite Thrull kills ya ("Have you ever seen a wall drop dead of fright?")
Armor Thrulls remains are natural bone armor
Basal Thrulls serve as a power battery for necromancers
Thrull Champions make other thrulls tougher
The Derelor massive thrulls that stand up to giants


Orggs

Giant monsters that think they are little monsters.

The various golems are very cool too.

 

[Rune]

Double post

How'd that happen?

 

[Scarab]

Ooh! Yes! The Weaver from Perdido Street Station! (A book by China Miéville. Read it. NOW. That's an order!)

And from the same book, the race that Two For Tea is of. Basically, a head with wings and small feet.

The Kepri, also from the same book. And the Cactacae. And Garuda.

Damn, lots of nifty species in that book.

 

[The Green Man]

Swamp dragons. You know, like Errol...

 

[Aaron L]

Clowns. Clowns are terrifying.

 

[Rashak Mani]

The Others from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.

Heh... yes, there are many creatures from MTG that would be interesting in 3e. How about Thallids?

FYI, on the Realms of Evil site in the Womb of Creation forum, they have recently been creating 3e conversions for many MTG creatures, such as slivers, a sengir vampire template, nightstalkers, and so on:
