Going to add now, thanks so much!
Edit: Some questions and thought after I did a little research:
Shadevari: Unreal, these are going to be fun to do as really high CR fiends.
Unholy Hand of Bane: It behaves like a monster but is listed most places as a magic item. I’m not sure about doing this one.
Fogwarden: Unless I’m mistaken this isn’t a creature that has its origins or hasn’t been used even much in FR? Might hold it for a later book.
Crustaid: Thank you so much for bringing this one up. I had no idea about it as I never really had many Polyhedrons.
Sliver: Don’t know how I missed it. Thank you!
Shadow Lich: I can’t find this anywhere except as just a Lich. Is there a separate creature? |

| Fogwarden is from generic Dungeon 54 adventure and in Monstrous Compendium Annual 4 (same as firestar), but also it was later in 3.5e in Bestiary of the Realms vol. 2, don't know if that counts, Shadow lich also. Now I remember also, do you have Echohawk's Complete Monster Index ? you can filter monsters by setting |

Funny thing is I had no idea about those volumes. Thank you all for drawing my attention to them.
On a side note, I’m going to put a “Special Thanks” for everyone that has helped me in this thread in the book when it’s eventually released. Please let me know if you have any special preferences for how I present your name. As a default I will use your Candlekeep moniker. |

Out of all 100 or so creatures updated, this is the one I deviated the most from the original. I really wanted to power these guys up to a high CR considering their rarity, existence since before time, etc.

I hope I was able to maintain their original flavor well enough from their origins. |

I went from having never heard of this thing to having a blast putting it together. This took about two hours to put together, but thinking through the dynamics of its abilities was a lot of fun. It might have the longest attack range in the game, just like its 2e lore predecessor. Check out Polyhedron 130 for the original.

Hey everyone, I finished it, at least appendix 1. There are about 150 stat blocks in here and depending on if its popular or not I might do another one (or two) in time. I have a huge list of creatures I could update for those.
Anyway, thank you for all your help and advice. If you'd like to pick up a cheaper version, use this link for a discount:
https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?discount=9d9d3347ba
If it runs out of discounted versions let me know and I will put up more. |

| Maybe you can put out a table showing where they were first introduced. That way newer players can check out their history and read the articles and game books they were in. |

I will try to include this in an update and in fact, had it at one point. It looked out of place and I removed it half way through but in hindsight that will definitely go into the next update. One issue I had too was determining which source to list. Do ai include 4e products I know nothing about? Do I prioritize Monsters of Faerun over others? I might just eventually include EVERY book they’ve been in but that task started to seem monumental as well. |
