Need help matching Reaper Bones minis to D&D creatures

Oryan77

I have a lot of Reaper Bones miniatures that I am not quite sure how to use in my D&D game. Some of them have similar D&D creature names but don't really fit the D&D version of that creature (has a different size or looks completely different).

I have gone through all of my D&D books trying to match these minis to a creature that it could proxy for and these are all of the minis I have left that I can't match up. I'm hoping people here might be able to suggest a good D&D creature that the mini could proxy for. Even really obscure creatures are good with me.

Your suggestions could be from any D&D edition and any campaign setting (including Dragon/Dungeon magazines) as long as it is an official D&D creature. I just would prefer not to get suggestions like, "a baby Hook Horror" or "an enlarged Stirge" unless stats exist for that in a rulebook. I would be glad to share my entire list of Reaper Bones miniatures that can be used as proxies for D&D creatures once I complete these last figures.

Listed below are the Reaper Bones mini name, creature size, and a clickable link to an image. Thanks for any help!

#2 Familiar, Elemental (small)

#8 Medium Fire Elemental (medium)
#11 Tiik Champion (medium)
#13 Avatar of Sekhmet (medium)

#34 - Water Weird = Water Weird!!!
#22 - Fly Demon = Chasme
#19 - Orcus

Some more - Verocithrax's horns make him Red or Black dragon, and the ridge along his back matches the Red too.

The Cloak Beast might be a Volt?

Hordlings were in AD&D Monster Manual 2, and fit those minis as they came in a lot of shapes and sizes

The reaper Flesh Golem is medium while the D&D creature is large. D&D Fire Elementals don't tend to have wings, so I'm hoping to find something to proxy that mini with to cover a wider range of creatures.

Also, providing a list to other gamers and telling them that a Flesh Golem miniature makes a good proxy for a Flesh Golem monster seems kind of redundant to me. :p I'm hoping to use the Reaper minis as other monsters as much as possible since D&D and Pathfinder have already covered a lot of these creatures in miniature form.

#5 with the right paint could be a behir.

#22 is a spot on chasme, although in Fiendish Codex I they are large, not medium. In the 1e Monster Manual II they were medium.

#23 could be a Werewolf Lord. Large giant rat hybrid (obviously intended to be a Warhammer ogre rat skaven) looks a lot like a dire wolf hybrid. The tail is the biggest discrepancy but D&D dire animals become a bit weird.
