Non-WotC Monster Books?

Wow, these rock. Mesh Hong rules!

My players are veteran LFR players, so I *need* non-WotC monsters for my new campaign if I want to keep them on their toes. IMHO, the best campaign experiences involve dealing with the unknown, which can be tough if everyone immediately metagames with, "Oh, this is probably a _______ with _____ abilities."

Does Necromancer or Goodman have any products anyone's familiar with?

Edit: Nevermind, finding plenty on their websites. Been at my mother-in-law's all weekend - brain's not working right.

I looked at Mongoose's quintessential books and some of Goodman's books online only, but have not bought any. I cannot find any FLGS that carries non-Wizards only. Mongoose's Wraith Recon series looks like it could be fun.

Re-flavor the creatures. This should keep players unaware of what they're actually facing. For example, here's an alternation of a Wild Hunt Hound that I saw on WotC's forums:

A pack of screaming demons descend from the sky like locusts. Flying with a pair of batlike wings, these black, scaly fiends have oversized, horned heads with enormous, sharp teeth. Their screams and howls overwhelm their enemies with fear, and their bite causes all the muscles in your body to slowly freeze up. Worst of all, they can take a bite out of you while on the move, leaving you bleeding and slowed (if not paralyzed) in their wake.
