Anyone? Anything?

You may notice that I'm taking great liberties with adjusting the levels of monsters- don't be shy about doing it too! The chaos beast (f'rex) was CR 8 in 3e, and I clocked it in at 15th level in 4e.

Tempest (MMII)
Lodestone Maurader (MMIV)
Lunar Ravager (MM IV)
Grisgol (MM III)
Golem, Gloom (MM III)

 

[demiurge1138]

Gulgar (MMIII)

Oh, and have you given any thought to the Spawn of Tiamat? It seems to me that their simplified, streamlined designs were really preludes to 4e monster design philosophy.

 

[the Jester]

Lunar Ravager (MM IV)

Because I have my own thing going on with lunar stuff imc, I shan't bother with these guys. The others, though- as well as the gulgar (as suggested by demiurge1138)- have been added to the list.

 

[Soel]

Definitely second the Lodestone Marauder and Gulgar, and I'll add the Stonesinger (MMIII.)

I do have a question, how do you arrive at, say, a Lodestone Marauder being a 16th level creature in 4e? Is it just to fill a perceived void at that level?

Then post'm, dagnabbit! Because I think some higher level fey would be nice. And the Moon is overlooked.

Well, let me rephrase it- my campaign doesn't have a standard "moon" per se; it has the occasional moon that transits the sky and causes all kinds of weirdness every few decades. This is why you'll almost never see moon-based monsters make it into my conversion list- you might notice a lack of lycanthropes, f'rexample.
