(They may not have been in the same series, but both of these concepts were topics du jour around the same time.) Traction being 'getting something to stick.' Monsters we consider 'iconic' are those that developed traction in the years/editions since they were introduced. I remember a designer (Mearls, I think) mentioning that kruthiks were/are a monster that they are pushing... the designers want kruthiks to gain traction and become an iconic D&D monster. I think it's met with reasonable success.</blockquote>
