Hey folks. Well, here are some unofficial suggestions regarding creatures from other sources that might fit a Dark Sun game. As with my previous lists for MM1 and MM2, I’ve been exclusive rather than inclusive. So I’ve stayed away from intelligent races, new humanoids, odd undead etc – these raise more questions than they are worth, imho. I tried to include plenty of plants and non-desert creatures in order to flesh out the available body of encounters for places like the forests, the Great Swamp, Crimson Savannah and the like. Of course, the idea isn't to include all of these into your game but rather to offer a broader menu. Make of it what you will
