Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, and I am not asking for legal advice or whether or not you can actually do this. I'm asking if there have been publishers who have done this in the past.
There are several monsters that are not on the OGL, like umber hulks, carrion crawlers, mind flayers, otyughs, etc. Have there been people who have gotten around this by filing the #s off? For example, changing the stats a bit for a carrion crawler and renaming it tentacle beast or something? Seeing as how many of the original monsters (like the carrion crawler, bulette, and others) were based off of toys, I can't imagine that some publishers haven't done this without worry of being C&D'd by WotC.
Does anyone know if that's happened?
