#2 BOZ Nov 30, 2005 9:15:04	nice!
#3 spellweaver Nov 30, 2005 9:34:40	Excellent!! Thank you very much! :-) Jesper
#4 gazza555 Dec 01, 2005 11:03:48	Thanks guys Hopefully I get around to posting links to other sites with Mystaran creature conversions. For example I know that there are a few on the Lighthouse site. At the moment I'm not linking directly to the conversion threads (either here or at Enworld) but am waiting until the conversions are 'offically' posted. If anyone feels it would be useful I could put temporary links in for the creatures that have not reache the Vaults of the Creature Catalog. Regards Gary
#5 Hugin Dec 05, 2005 7:45:36	Very good, Gary! I know this is something we wanted done a while ago but unfortunately I couldn't. Thanks! This will be very useful.
#6 gazza555 Dec 05, 2005 8:36:38	Thanks Hugin your lists came in very useful. :D Hopefully at some point I'll put in links to individual SRD creatures. -------------------- Added links to the Lighthouse conversions. Regards Gary
#7 gazza555 Dec 06, 2005 3:34:58	Added links to Faedorne, Silver Warrior, and Shargugh. Regards Gary
#8 havard Dec 06, 2005 4:22:45	Thanks Hugin your lists came in very useful. :D Hopefully at some point I'll put in links to individual SRD creatures. That would be nice! I think I've seen a web-based version of the SRD somewhere so it should be possible to just link it to that one. Also, would it be good to include references to official material not in the SRD? Håvard
#9 gazza555 Dec 06, 2005 6:59:56	That would be nice! I think I've seen a web-based version of the SRD somewhere so it should be possible to just link it to that one. Added the 'monsters' from the SRD. Will add the animals and vermin after lunch. Regards Gary
#10 gazza555 Dec 06, 2005 9:18:19	Added animals and vermin. Regards Gary
#11 havard Dec 06, 2005 9:28:23	Added animals and vermin. Regards Gary Awesome! Are these all the monsters associated with Mystara? Håvard
#12 gazza555 Dec 06, 2005 10:49:39	Are these all the monsters associated with Mystara? For the most part. ;) There are some animals that may not have been statted out in a Mystara product such as the wildcat(?) but I don't have a problem including 'normal' animals. I think I've removed all the 'monsters' from the SRD that DEFINATELY weren't in a Mystara book such as the allip. Of course if you spot any mistakes or creatures that should be included just let me know. Regards Gary
#13 ripvanwormer Dec 06, 2005 17:16:57	These are all from the Planescape board. They're all compliant with 3.5 edition standards. Greater ebon tiger Ebon tiger Plasm Spectral hound Eolian, urdeen, pyrophor, undine Anemo, kryst, helion, hydrax Horde Spectral Death Planar spider Arashaeem Narvazaen Fiend
#14 BOZ Dec 06, 2005 17:27:47	were those also posted on planewalker.com?
#15 ripvanwormer Dec 06, 2005 21:46:38	were those also posted on planewalker.com? A few of them (ebon tiger, plasm, spectral hound, planar spider) appeared in the Transitive Planes netbook.
#16 BOZ Dec 06, 2005 22:57:35	i'm sure there will be an Elemental planes and likely Outer planes book sooner or later.
#17 gazza555 Dec 07, 2005 6:41:17	These are all from the Planescape board. They're all compliant with 3.5 edition standards. Thanks for them, I'll add them in. Regards Gary
#18 gazza555 Dec 21, 2005 10:01:44	Right, I've added in book references, but the formatting gone to pot. I'm fairly close to 50,000 characters maximum of a message so bear with me awhile. For the moment I've decided to take the page numbers out, but if you've got the book you can check the index. ;) Regards Gary
#19 BOZ Dec 21, 2005 10:08:20	are the winged warriors the same as the ones in recent Dungeon mags?
#20 gazza555 Dec 21, 2005 10:17:55	are the winged warriors the same as the ones in recent Dungeon mags? I'll have to check that BOZ but I don't think so. Regards Gary
#21 Cthulhudrew Dec 21, 2005 14:00:18	Here's one you can add that I just found the other day (hadn't noticed it before): Lava Ooze- p.178 of Sandstorm
#22 gazza555 Dec 22, 2005 6:02:22	Lava Ooze- p.178 of Sandstorm Thanks, added in. As have the updates from the Vaults. Regards Mortis
#23 gazza555 Dec 22, 2005 6:03:59	BOZ The Mystaran Winged Warrior is a crystaline construct with silvery metal (mithral?) wings. Hope that helps Regards Gary
#24 BOZ Dec 22, 2005 9:47:35	I don't actually have the issues; I was reading someone else's copy. I don't recall the specifics of the creature, but I immediately suspected that they may be the same as the Mystaran one.
#25 gazza555 Jan 04, 2006 6:55:55	Right I think I've sorted the formatting out, just need to add a Key now. I've also added links to 3.5 conversions of the Dark WIng and Gyerian from the Enworld Creature Catalog. Regards Gary
#26 gazza555 Jan 04, 2006 6:57:07	BOZ What issue(s) of Dungeon was the Winged Warrior in? Regards Gary
#27 gazza555 Jan 04, 2006 7:01:37	Shawn/Guys I think a link to this thread in the 'sticky' thread would be rather useful. What do you think? Regards Gary
#28 Hugin Jan 04, 2006 9:39:44	Shawn/Guys I think a link to this thread in the 'sticky' thread would be rather useful. What do you think? Regards Gary I'll second the motion. All in favour? Aye! :D
#29 BOZ Jan 04, 2006 10:06:01	BOZ What issue(s) of Dungeon was the Winged Warrior in? Regards Gary really don't know. within the last 6 months for certain - probably 2 or 3 issues ago.
#30 mrfilthyike Jan 04, 2006 11:22:49	I'll second the motion. All in favour? Aye! :D Thirded, um, is that a legit word? ;) As I use 3.5 for my playerbase, this is very handy.
#31 stanles Jan 04, 2006 12:35:56	Thirded, um, is that a legit word? ;) As I use 3.5 for my playerbase, this is very handy. legit enough definitely. And yeah sorry Garry, I should've thought about that one already.
#32 gazza555 Jan 17, 2006 7:16:05	OK I ran out of room in the OP for the key so here it is. Regards Gary Key
#33 gazza555 Jan 17, 2006 7:22:04	Updated Index with the Creatures from the Vaults update. Regards Gary
#34 BOZ Jan 17, 2006 10:09:28	cool, good stuff.
#35 gazza555 Feb 07, 2006 3:19:26	really don't know. within the last 6 months for certain - probably 2 or 3 issues ago. BOZ Sorry it's taken soooo long to check. Unless I've missed something the only Winged Warrior I can find in a recent issue of Dungeon is the Fomorian Winged Warrior from page 78 of the Fiend Folio. As the Fomorian Winged Warrior is an Outsider and the Mystaran Winged Warrior is (would be) a Construct we are definately talking about two different creatures. Regards Gary
#36 BOZ Feb 07, 2006 9:15:44	i could have sworn it was the construct version i saw, complete with picture... oh well, i could have been hallucinating, or thinking of something else. ;)
#37 gazza555 Feb 07, 2006 9:28:57	BOZ Assuming Shade's index is all present and correct we have the following creatures in the last few Dungeon's: 124 - Hordling, Dread Gnasher (sample hordling), Spittlemaw (sample hordling), Skullreaver (sample hordling), Vulturewretch (sample hordling), Seven-Headed Juggernaut, Mad Dragon heads, Pandemonium Beast, Wind Warrior. 125 - Ebon Aspect. 126 - Brass man, gear golem, Killer frog, Kyuss spawnling. 127 - Hiveblood Creature (template), Hiveblood Ettin, Flying Fingers Swarm, Necromancer Knuckles Swarm, Octopin, Greater Doppleganger (updated from Monsters of Faerun). 128 - Froghemoth. 129 - anth-Malar, Chosen of Malar, Oculus Demon, True Ghoul, Wereweasel, Werewolverine. 130 - Demonic caterpillar (unique spirit), Eviscerator Beetle, Kyuss Knight, Sword of Kyuss, Wormcaller, Overworm, Wormswarm, Worm Naga. 131 - Acidwraith. So possibly the Wind Warrior? Regards Gary
#38 BOZ Feb 07, 2006 9:45:12	that's probably it, given how many issues ago that was. it's possible that the name was changed slightly, and it's possible that they are two different but similar creatures.
#39 gazza555 Feb 08, 2006 3:45:06	i could have sworn it was the construct version i saw, complete with picture... Well the Wind Warrior is an Elemental animating a suite of armour and it does have a picture. oh well, i could have been hallucinating, or thinking of something else. ;) That's always a possibility. ;) I've looked through Issues 114, 118-130 and can't find anything else. Maybe someone else could check though? Regards Gary
#40 gazza555 Feb 08, 2006 8:10:54	Taken from the same post as the Princess Ark news. Lesser Golems, by Campbell Pentney - This article gives us full stats and construction rules for the fungus golem, junk golem, paper golem, tin golem, wax golem, and wood golem. I wonder how similar the Wood Golem will be to the Mystaran one? Regards Gary
#41 BOZ Feb 08, 2006 8:58:46	coincidental at best, i'm sure. ;)
#42 Cthulhudrew Feb 08, 2006 11:15:06	I wonder how similar the Wood Golem will be to the Mystaran one? I'd imagine pretty similar, actually, as the Wood Golem was based on an AD&D Wood Golem initially, IIRC (1st edition, it didn't initially get 'ported over to 2nd edition's Monstrous Manual). At least I recall a wood golem in one of the Endless Quest books (Revolt of the Dwarves), and those were based more on AD&D, IIRC, than D&D. I could be wrong, though. Anyone have a 1st edition Monster Manual handy to check?
#43 gazza555 Feb 27, 2006 8:35:48	Updated again. I've had to split off the animals and vermin to this post due to going over the permitted length for a post - 50,000 characters! :D Regards Gary Animal List
#44 gazza555 Apr 21, 2006 3:30:23	I've updated the index to take into account the latest Pandius update. Shawn I'll email you the update when I remember to bring in your original document. ;) Regards Gary
#45 gazza555 May 16, 2006 6:04:11	Updated with latest Pandius additions. Regards Gary
#46 Traianus_Decius_Aureus May 31, 2006 9:56:40	There is a version of the Bog Imp in Heroes of Horror. It is not exactly related to the the Mystaran version, namely they are created from pickled elves (uuugggggggg- I wish I was joking) and they look like the bad gremlins in the Gremlins movie. But they are somewhat similar in spirit, so I'd though I'd point it out.

#48 gazza555 Aug 08, 2006 6:19:16	Added missing creatures from OD&D Blackmoor supplement. Still need to add Blackmoor references to existing creatures. Regards Gary
#49 zombiegleemax Aug 09, 2006 4:23:24	My contributions to your excellent list: I think you missed the Vulcanian Sloth, a monster described in one of the first episodes of VotPA, and the Gargantoid, a construct described both in the Book of Wondrous Inventions and PWAI (or II, I think) The HW boxed set speaks about "desert" and "ocean" subspecies of lizardmen (you will find them in a random encounters table in the DM's manual), without specifying their stats. Anyway, the kubitts should be included to your list, and lizardmen stats are described also in this set. What about the monster described in the original Immortal Set and not reported in WotI? I refer to beings such as: Soo, Tonals, Nippers, Demons, and the like. Moreover (for the references part), the Immortal set monster list includes the whole WotI and IM modules bestiary, plus it adds some more info about planar spiders, diaboli and some other extraplanar races. Again about references: rakastas, lupins, tortles, snappers, aranea and possibly some other races (including an enigmatic sperm whale, not very well described) are introduced in Dungeon #6-7 "Tortles of the Purple Sage" adventure. Kraken stats are described also in PC3 manual (at the end of the adventure in Tamoraz). Stats for sheeps that live with the cloud giants are shown in the AC10 module, page 41. I'm not sure if these sheeps are identical to the common sheeps, but the herd is magical and it regenerates the lost sheeps. The same AC10 (page 61) shows stats for a "lake serpent", for "giant rabbits" and for a variety of roc (canary like). The latter may well be a unique monster (as the flying rat Watamouse and Morus the Cat described on page 62). That's all. Hope this helps. ;)
#50 zombiegleemax Aug 09, 2006 10:40:17	Excellent additions LoZompatore. There's also the N'jatwa (spelling?) - the mixed elf-ogre race from VotPA.
#51 zombiegleemax Sep 05, 2006 15:11:49	Additional Mystaran creatures with OD&D stats: Dragon Soul - OD&D stats here. "Many areas display dominant colours not yet connected to known dragon types. Dragon souls do exist in these regions. The Great One could decide to send these souls to the Known World to create new species and colours of dragons not yet encountered in the Prime Plane (purple, metallic, or mineral-coloured dragons for example)." (DRAGON magazine article "From Hatchling to Immortal Guardian") Dragon Guardian - OD&D stats in "From Hatchling to Immortal Guardian". Dragon Spirit - OD&D stats in Dragon article: "D&D(R) game dragons have their own rulers, too" Goldshitr - stats in a Hebrew OD&D module. N'jatwa - VotPA Parapit (Butterfly Woman) - stats in a Hebrew OD&D module. Lupin Breeds from DRAGON#237, cut and pasted from a MMB post by NPC Dave: Unspecified(these guys I prefer to keep on the Savage Coast) Royal Basset Hound Greater Beagle(one ended up on Serraine) Burrow Bandit Red Foxfolk Gnomish Snaoutzer(live alongside forest gnomes, whoever they are) Greater Golden Retriever Long-Runner King Mastiff Nithian Rambler Shag-Head Wolvenfolk Basic lupin mongrels Renardy Grand Bloodhound Blue Bandit Neo Papillon Renardois Folk Savage Coast Nova-Svogan Borzoi Bouchon Eusdrian Bulldog Carrasquito Das Hund Ispan Pistolero Narvaezan Maremma Torreon Pit-Bull(also in Thyatis) Gonic Slagovici Gonic Zvornikski Ochalea Ogrish Chow-chow Ochalean Crested Ochalean Houndling High Shar-Pei northwest of Broken Lands Cimarron Hairless(also living with the Shadow Elves) Hattia(by the way, how do people pronounce this?) Doggerman (also in Heldann) Heldann Heldann Shepherd Ylaruam Fighting Fennec Norworld White Foxfolk Norworld Malamute Glantri Glantri Mountaineer(Glantrian Alps) Hound of Klantyre Ostland Ye Great Dogge Now there are tables for rolling a lupin breed randomly, with an entry for the Known World and an entry for the Savage Coast. That table implies all but two breeds could be found in the Known World, but as I said, I prefer to keep more of them on the Savage Coast and Renardy, with just the lupins specifically assigned to the Known World to be present there. Mystaran creatures mentioned, but without stats: Gray Dragon - Extinct dragon from the Dragonlord Chronicles. Bull Troll – From Karawenn; possibly unique, perhaps a troll with a minotaur-like head? The Black Goat - From Karawenn; a Unique creature - a goat producing wine rather than milk. Warwolf – From Karawenn; a wolf enhanced by the magic of Entropy. Blue Gorgon – From Karawenn; nothing is known of this creature White Gargoyle – From Karawenn; nothing is known of this creature. Abelaats - Penhaligon Trilogy Were-elk - One of the clans on the Isle of Dread has this creature as their totem. Sea Turtle - One of the Isle of Dread clans has this animal as their totem. Forest Gnome - mentioned in Lupin article DRAGON#237 Dark Elf/Svartalf - Northern Reaches GAZ Acid Golem - PWA? Creatures mentioned as being somewhere in Mystara's cosmology, but only statted in a non-Mystaran product: Nihrain Horse - The LJN character Strongheart's steed, associated with Ghyr, but originally from the Melnibone setting. Kelmain - The race of the LJN character Mandoom, associated with Ghyr, but originally from the Melnibone setting: http://boards1.wizards.com/archive/index.php/t-769468.html (stats in AD&D1E Deities & Demigods). Bronze Dragon - In the mountains of Glantri (G:KoM). Silver Dragon - In the mountains of Glantri (G:KoM). Copper Dragon - A copper dragon named Vasilyon the Younger lives in Sind (PWA1012). Remorhaz - Wasn't there one of these in a 2E PWA? NOTE: Add 3.5E monsters from Return to the Temple of the Frog. Norwegian modules. Are there any other creatures (including animals) that have been mentioned in any Mystaran product, but that weren't given stats (e.g. Gray Dragon), or were only statted in non-Mystaran products (e.g. Remorhaz)? For example, "incongruous" 2E inclusions. Shane
#52 stanles Sep 06, 2006 20:22:56	Mystaran creatures mentioned, but without stats: And wasn't there an Acid Golem in one of the PWAs?
#53 stanles Sep 06, 2006 20:24:35	A converted version of the rhagodessa appears in the new issue of Dungeon in the first part of the Savage Tide adventure - they're already coming through with their promise on that one, let's hope there's more to come as it continues. I haven't been able to read through the whole adventure yet, but I just thought I'd add this tidbit here where it's appropriate.
#54 zombiegleemax Sep 07, 2006 15:57:16	Doesn't someone visit one of the lower planes in some Mystaran novel? Was it Dark Knight of Karameikos? Did he meet some demons or devils? Were there any fiendish types which didn't have an OD&D version? Wasn't there a reference to the Blood War? Whichever novel it was, those events that took place in the Great Wheel's lower planes would've only happened as depicted in the 2E Mystara Reality. In the OD&D Reality and the 3E Reality, those extraplanar events would be modified to fit the OD&D and 3E Mystara cosmology. Are there any other creatures from the other novels (e.g. Black Vessel) that didn't appear in the RPG sourcebooks? Shane

Black Vessel only deals with canon races/creatures IIRC. The Penhaligon trilogy introduces the Abelaats. Håvard
#56 zombiegleemax Sep 08, 2006 12:38:42	Thanks Shawn and Havard - I added the Abelaat and Acid Golem to the addendum (along with the N'jatwa and an entry for the breeds of Lupin). Shane
#57 zombiegleemax Sep 09, 2006 20:09:39	I added the Were-elk, Sea Turtle, and Hawk to the CCCI addendum. I feel it'd be interesting to comb through the Mystara books and make sure all the animal species mentioned in official sources got added to the CCCI's Animal list. AFAIR, the Red Steel boxed set had a section that went into detail as to what kinds of animals were found in the Savage Coast Shane
#58 zombiegleemax Sep 10, 2006 1:29:24	Also added: list of official Lupin breeds, plus the mysterious Forest Gnomes and Dark Elves. Shane
#59 stanles Sep 10, 2006 16:08:20	Additional Mystaran creatures with OD&D stats: Dragon Soul - OD&D stats here. "Many areas display dominant colours not yet connected to known dragon types.

(DRAGON magazine article "From Hatchling to Immortal Guardian") Dragon Guardian - OD&D stats in "From Hatchling to Immortal Guardian". there's also the Dragon Spirit in this article. Creatures mentioned as being somewhere in Mystara's cosmology, but only statted in a non-Mystaran product: Acid Golem - PWA? Are the stats for these in some 3E product? this one is probably better considered a Mystaran creature mentioned, but without stats.
#60 zombiegleemax Sep 10, 2006 22:17:43	I incorporated those comments into the addendum. Thanks Shawn! Shane
#61 gazza555 Sep 12, 2006 6:55:09	Updated the index to take into account the latest Vaults update. One of these days I'll get around to including the Savage Coast conversions. Hawk - One of the Isle of Dread clans has this animal as their totem. Stats found in the 3E MM. Shane The hawk is actually included in my Animals sub index. Regards Gary
#62 zombiegleemax Sep 12, 2006 13:53:11	Thanks for the update and the heads up Gazza555. I removed the Hawk from the addendum. Shane

#65 gazza555 Feb 13, 2007 8:37:27	Animals, Vermin, and Savage Coast brought up to date. Will attempt to bring the main creature list up to date tomorrow. Regards Gary

#67 gazza555 Feb 14, 2007 3:15:59	was that just based on updates you took from the Vaults Gary or did you make other changes? Not for those categories Shawn just Vaults stuff. For the 'creatures' category there will be two Enworld Creature Catalog entries. Regards Gary
#68 stanles Feb 14, 2007 6:24:21	Not for those categories Shawn just Vaults stuff. For the 'creatures' category there will be two Enworld Creature Catalog entries. Regards Gary the two that are in there mentioned in the monster conversion thread?

#70 Hugin Dec 12, 2007 10:45:26	Hey Gary, looks like we started something! They even call it a "consolidated index"!

#72 gazza555 Dec 13, 2007 3:48:32	Hey Gary, looks like we started something! They even call it a "consolidated index"! I hate to mention this but they've had those lists for quite a while now. I may even have been the place I got the idea from Regards Gary PS Good to see you around BOZ.
