There's a lot I want to get from Dark Sun-specific bestiary, even Dragonlance's. Unfortunately, DM's Guild licensing doesn't yet allow creators to use settings outside of Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, Eberron, Ravnica, and Theros.

Elaborating on the ones from AC9…
The crazy wild ones in the “Conjurations” section would be cool to see updated with more conventional usage (not indestructible like a couple). Desert Ghost, Fundamental, Magen, Reflecter (who were uber), Faedornae, Silver Warriors, Soul Eater, Winged Warrior. Also things like the Hivebrood (I had a whole series of adventures back in the day where they were taking over the world), Oard, Sollux, and others…. I’m intentionally leaving out the traditional Mystara races (Rakasta, Lupin, Tortle, Aranea) since I’m sure they’ll be done officially someday.

Oh, shame. Thanks for the education. Every day's a school day!
Tortle has been done and is official. I’ve done the aranea (MME2).
What I'm pondering/planning right now are making legendary and mythic versions of the classic D&D monsters (i.e. owlbear, manticore, minotaur, carrion crawler, peryton, displacer beast, etc.). These unique creatures would have the usual lair, legendary, and mythic actions. Legendary versions would be 3-4 higher CR while mythic versions would have +6-8 higher CR.As official publications often focus on populating the first three tiers with new monsters, I'll echo what was said earlier: The more high-CR monsters, the better

Ah, so the mythic creature would be The Owlbear, etc. The archetype and perhaps progenitor of the species...
I do want to see a mythic tarrasque...

(Article/Pic found in the first monster topic in thread of link.)
One is a a category of War-Torn Fey that literally have the ability to command Living Spells, make everybody go crazy, and has a cloud of weapons swarming around their bodies to protect themselves from Projectile attacks. Their ultimate goal is to "end war" by killing all parties involved. The other is a race of Aberrations that like to sing and likes to have a "captive" audience for their performances sometimes. Sometimes sparing said audience until they grow bored of their "company" or desire a whole new audience. Also they trap victims in stone cocoons basically.
Ragewalker
Ragewalkers, sometimes called the war torn fey, were fey that embodied war-torn lands and sought to end war with death.[1] Ragewalkers were 15 feet (4.6 meters) tall and weighed about 500 pounds (230 kilograms). They generally had light-gray skin. Their faces, which were elf-like in appearance...

On Wayshack's Splinterwaif art: It's strongly reminiscent of an artist seen in British products from the 80s, particularly Warhammer and Fighting Fantasy titles. None of which I own, so it's tricky to put a name to my memories. Anybody else know what I'm talking about?

I was thinking that 3.x had something like this, and looking through the books, this will be basically the Monster of Legend template from the 3e MMII, but probably more powerful. Actually, the legendary versions could be "Monsters of Legend", while you could call the mythic versions "Monsters of Myth".
