I voted mythological, but my favorite monsters are the ones assembled out of random animal and people parts; centaurs, griffons, perytons, sphinxes, minotaurs, nagas, etc. There seems to be a real lack of these nowadays. I guess the kids want sci-fi-movie-lookin' monsters.
I was super pissed about the 3rd ed. picture of the manticore. It's supposed to have a man's face! That's why it's scary!![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
Now it just looks goofy.

This is off track of the main thread, but I feel that it needs to be said. Aeolious, I did read your campaign setting overview. It is very intersting, but a bit much too swallow in one gulp. Still It looks like you've spent a LOT of time on it, and it shows. I think it is really great!
My only real criticism is that you should maybe keep some of the more ancient and/or obscure history hidden from casual view. For one it would create more mystery, and leave more to surprise people with. More importantly, it would shorten the amount of time and patience necessary for someone to understand what the setting is about. There is no way the average web-surfer who blunders across your campaign outline will stay to finish reading it. I'm a good reader and very bright, but it still took a good bit of time and mental effort to digest. Although I'm not sure how much more difficult it was made due to my having zero knowledge of the Greyhawk setting.

If you have a lot of time on your hands check out Aelious campaign site. Again, only if you've got a lot of time. I can vouch for its quality and depth (ocean pun).
In conclusion, you've done a great job creating a world. I can truly say that reading about it, was, indeed, time well spent.
Keep up the good work,
Bill
