Who else remembers that first time players dishearteningly realized Big monsters didn't have to spread their attacks among the party in 3E? 
No more facing, no more out maneuvering natural attacks. And it's a delightful double whammy since they probably ate an AoO to get up to the critter in the first place.
Who else remember their PC eating that AoO Bite followed up with the spinning Dragon fu combo of Huge [or bigger] bite, claw, claw, wing, wing & tail to the medium face?
The MM3 Odopi looks like it was made to attack the party as a whole, rather than to play "Let's kill the guy who though he could melee in high level D&D!". A nice gesture, but killing one victim at a time is MUCH more effective in D&D as a whole and one monster won't change the game's dynamic. Still it was nice to see something with a meaningful full attack option that didn't also mean the front liner would go from full HP to needing a Heal spell in one round.
