What's wrong with including creatures that serve a roleplaying purpose, rather than just being a combat adversary? I think it would be rare, indeed, to see the party face off a party of Dryads or Nymphs, for example - but it would be a darned shame if they were taken out. (If for no other reason than that it would make the MM fail to meet its hottie quota .... but I digress. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)I'll agree with you this much, though - "actually in mythology" isn't a good argument. WHOSE mythology, exactly? I mean, most of the campaign worlds we play in aren't Earth, or at least OUR Earth, so.....[Raises hand] I've used it, and I thought it was a serious campaign, anyway - my players may have a different opinion. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Giant floating turtles are from a much larger variety of sources than just NES. The aforementioned campaign world with the Tarrasque existed on the back of a giant space turtle that was loosely based on the Dragon Turtle - and strongly based on real Earth legends.Word.I don't want ANY 3.5 monsters given the axe. And I want to see ALL of the 1E and 2E critters back in. Some refinement and rules clarifications are fine, but I want 'em ALL.And I want Grues, both the elemental ones from Dragon Magazine and the darkness ones (Grue and Ur-Grue) from Zork IN THE CORE. (Won't happen, but an Implementor can dream... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> )</blockquote>
