How 'bout some old classics, like a purple worm, a buellette (sp?), owlbears, centaurs, wererats, bugbears, etc. How about different kinds of yuan-ti? Some of them were supposed to be completely snake-like, whereas others were almost human.

Some other DnD (MM2) creatures I liked were behirs (breathes lightning), derrow (savage duergar-like guys), or even quicklings (were these from FF?).

None of these would even be a challenge in ToB, but then only about 2 creatures really would be. But, I'm not going to start with that gripe again.

Far out! That Tarrasque sounds incredible!

The Great Wryms should be nice though.

I also liked the Storm Giant as big as Firkraag suggestion.

Sound like some sweet concepts. I'd actually like to see water elementals. We have fire, earth and air, why not water?

The Torrasque, in the added custom campaign. It's the hero version of the Ultralisk, only a "wee bit" stronger, since it really dislikes dying, so it just doesn't...

monsters i wanna see:
a nereid (guys get stunned in the sight, no saving throw.. its like a sea siren who can control the waves etc. if there r girls in party, she transforms into a handsome guy, but girls have %60 chance to save)

cloud giants, titans =]

tarrasque, the punishment of gods, sent during time of troubles )

pope, note that the tarrasque is the only legendary creature in AD&D, meaning there s only one =]
its more than 400 feet tall and man i wish they included it in the game, cuz even with a lvl 12 party u can kill mighty dragons.

now it be kewl to check the board to find a way to kill a tarrasque =]
840+30 instantaneuous damage, toghether with a wish spell.
lol.

lol

Monsters I'd like to see...
slaadi could be nice, as would celestials (Solars and Planetars anyone?). Another nice thing would be having nagas in the game as well as couati. Also, having storm giants and titans around can be VERY nice. And even formians can be nice (everyone loves killing huge ants)

I played a game named Silver, and they had a Tarrasque there, and I have to admit that it sucked. The game is not even AD&D. so are they allowed to use it at all?
