Editing Creature Catalog (section)

==Creature Catalog I==
Featured in [[Dragon Magazine]] #89 (September 1984), this served [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st Edition. It raised the following post-''Monster Manual II'' monsters:
* [[Amitok]]: A savage [[Cryonax]]-worshipping subrace of [[goblinoid]]s native to the artic.
* Killer Beetle: A giant beetle with psionic abilities and tentacles that favors sapient victims.
* Birchir: A giant lungfish-like marsh fish big enough to swallow humanoids whole, with a particular taste for [[lizardfolk]].
* Bohun Tree: A killer tree with toxic fruit that attacks by flinging needle-like thorns or lashing out with tentacle-like roots.
* Calygraunt: A magic item-hunting [[fey]] creature that esentially resembles a 4ft tall [[rabbitfolk|humanoid jackalope]].
* Cantobele: A six-legged sabertoothed cat that uses an imitation of a woman's voice to lure humanoid prey.
* Corkie: A giant rodent most distintive for its horns and its poisonous bite.
* Duleep: Deadly electricity-producing amorphous creatrues that resemble thick gray sheets of dusty cobwebs capable of crawling along.
* Explodestool: A mushroom that blows up when touched. What did you think it was?
* Fachan: A bizarre humanoid monster resembling an [[ogre]] with one eye, one arm, and one leg. This is an actual folklore beastie, and even made it into [[Pathfinder]], but that doesn't make it any less stupid.
* Flailtail: A freshwater ray with a club-like tail it uses to stun prey whilst it disguises itself as a giant bed of lilypads or pond scum.
* Ghuuna: A [[gnoll]] [[therianthrope]] with the ability to transform into a hyaenodon.
* Glasspane Horror: A strange [[elemental]] that normally disguises itself as an iron-hard sheet of glass, but can transform into a glassy humanoid warrior or a sheet of sparkling glass dust, often enticed to serve as a guardian by [[mage]]s in exchange for the crushed gemstones it feeds upon.
* Giant Horseshoe Crab: Exactly what it says on the tin. An odd relative of the common [[Giant Crab]].
* Ihagnim: A weird and predatory [[slime]] native to the [[Astral Plane]].
* Millikan: A bizarre tentacled abomination oft-mistaken for a tree stump... until it starts spewing fire at you!
* Dark Naga: A new [[naga]] strain, classified here as a malicious [[fey]] with the head of a human and the body of a snake. This got into the 2e Monstrous Manual.
* Peltast: A strange symbiotic [[slime]] that disguises itself as a leather clothing or accoutrement; it feeds on the "wearer's" blood, but takes only a small amount (1HP per day), and in return it will purify any poison they suffer, grant them slight magic resistance, and can even give them emergency resuccitation once per day.
* Giant Pitcher Plant: You really need the explanation for what this is?
* Seastar: It's a starfish, just using a slightly more obscure name. Except because it's in D&D, it's capable of preying on human flesh and even being trained into a deadly aquatic guardian.
* Scallion: A predatory oceanic fish of gargantuan proportion. Most iconic for the female, whose young live inside her stomach-womb and do the attacking for her when she hunts food.
* Giant Shrike: A sized up version of what is commonly known as the Butcherbird. It's a real thing. Look it up.
* Sind: Also known as "marshwiggles", a swamp-dwelling humanoid race with subtle frog-like features and a [[halfling]] like disposition. Obvious [[C.S. Lewis]] expy was obvious and, further, the Fiend Factory had done this too.
* Star Leviathan: A massive whale-like creature native to the [[Astral Plane]].
* Utukku: Fiends native to Tarterus (what later became [[Carceri]] in [[Planescape]]), resembling a scaly-skinned, reptilian humanoid with the head of a lion that has porcupine quilles for a mane.
* Giant Venus Flytrap: Again, you need this spelled out?
* Vurgen: A gigantic version of the famous gulper eel.
* Killer Whale: An orca. That's it.
* Wind Steed: A species of wind-walking flying wingless horses, also known as [[Asperii]]. This also made it to 2e, associated with the [[Forgotten Realms]].
