Now that we're almost finished with the Ferry Turtle, we were planning on doing the "Father-of-all-the-Turtles" Dragon 190 (1993) as the next conversion on that thread.
However, it occurs to me that it might make more sense to put the "prehistoric beasts" thread on hiatus and start a new thread for converting all the sea monsters from the article that Pa Turtle appears in.
Monsters of the Deep by Gregory W. Detwiler contains the Super Eel, the Super Otter, the Many-Humped and Many-Finned, the Merhorse and Long-Necked, plus the Marine Saurian (Giant Grocodile), Father-of-all-the-turtles, Yellow Belly, and Great Orm.
The Bold entries above have complete stat blocks, the others just give modifications of existing AD&D creatures. The "plain text" names only have minimal changes - e.g. they're things like "stats as the Merhorse, except bite damage is 1-8" - while the Italic names' stats are slightly more elaborate.

I suspect the italicized ones will be mostly worth converting while the plain ones won't, but let's judge them each as they come. Ready for the first one?
