Editing Creature Catalog (section)

==Creature Catalog IV==
Featured in [[Dragon Magazine]] #339, this Creature Catalog was for [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]]. Uniquely, this article was devoted ''entirely'' to 3.5 conversions of forgotten or obscure AD&D monsters from the [[Greyhawk]], [[Mystara]] and [[Ravenloft]] settings. It featured the following monsters:
* [[Animus]]: A powerful, [[lich]]-like undead being created by the church of [[Hextor]]. Native to [[Greyhawk]].
* [[Blindheim]]: A vaguely humanoid frog with large eyes that can produce potent beam attacks. Native to [[Greyhawk]].
* [[Carrionette]]: A murderously self-aware marionette puppet that wants to become a real person - and is willing to swap bodies with a living victim to get it. Native to [[Ravenloft]].
* Death's Head Tree: A blood-drinking tree that bears "fruit" in the shape of severed humanoid heads that wail, groan, and bite. Native to [[Ravenloft]].
* [[Greyhawk]] [[Dragon]]: A unique species of steel-colored, shapeshifting [[dragon]] native to [[derp|Greyhawk]] with a particular fascination for the humanoid life.
* [[Dusanu]]: David Cook's necrotic fungus that colonizes corpses and animates them to spread, causing it to be mistaken for a [[skeleton]]. Seen first in [[Desert Nomads series|X5: Temple of Death]]. So marked as a Mystara native.
* [[Goblyn]]: Monstrous, [[goblin]]-like warped humans best known for their love of chewing faces off. Native to [[Ravenloft]].
* Maggot Golem: A [[golem]] made up of an enormous mass of mobile maggots. Yes, this is real, and it's just as gross as it sounds. Native to [[Ravenloft]].
* [[Suel Imperium|Suel]] Lich: A [[lich]]-like [[undead]] creature that normally exists as a [[wraith]], but can possess humanoid bodies to interact with the physical world. Said bodies rapidly become useless. Native to [[derp|Greyhawk]].
* [[Nagpa]]: More Cook, here a fallen [[wizard]] cursed to spend eternity in the form of a hideous, foul-smelling, flightless humanoid vulture. This started in X5's predecessor ''Master of the Desert Nomads'' as a probable end-run around the BXCM-before-I No-Demon policy (the vrock, here); later gaining cult classic status as its own thing. Anyway, Mystara now.
* [[Phanaton]]: [[Tom Moldvay]]'s pet flying lemurs. Weirdly adorable, became a [[Mystara]] mainstay.
* [[Xvart]]: Blue-skinned, pathetic little humanoids too wimpy even to be accepted as [[goblinoids]]. ''White Dwarf'' readers loved them, most Americans thought they were smurfs done wrong. Gary Gygax sided with the Brits and kept plugging them for Greyhawk, so here they are.
