Now they are something in the Caves of Cavernosity, leading the bugbears and orcs.Kobolds: I'm tired of "my leet k0Boldz can pwn u!" uberfication that people seem to do on the boards.Orcs: Despite being describe in the MM as murdurous savage monsters, they have often been "Klingonified" and made into the Noble Honorable Warrior type. Dude, Where's My Kill-Crazed Chaotic Horde?Golems:  Rope golem? Paper golem? Why not make a candycane golem?Elementals other than the classic 4:  People use elemental and golem interchangably.
