I have the Horag, Verbeeg, and Ogrima here: http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=9134.0

I have the Orog and Ogrillon here: http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=777.0

Half Ogre will end up in the Giants thread eventually

The Dragons I'll have to do.  I think there's a guy on GitP whose been doing all the old dragons for 3.5, I'll look him up in the meantime.

How did I miss those?
I was scrounging around months ago and never saw them.
Well, now I know where they are at least.  :p

If it's a 2e orc, goblinoid, giant or reptilian humanoid, I either have it done or plan on having it done soon :D

Any preferences on whether I make the Flail Snail Magical Beast or Aberration?

Samwise: When I do the Dragons do you want Dragon SHaman/Half Dragon/Feat options for them similar to the other dragons?

Speaking of which does anyone have a blank template for the tables necessary to do dragons?

Giant Space Hamsters!  Go for the eyes!   :D
Though that may be more of an April type project.

I certainly wouldn't object.  ;)

More directly, with all the other material that relies on choice of dragon, I'd say those are nearly mandatory for a "complete" dragon write up at this point.

(Also, giant space hamsters ARE cool, especially Woolly Rupert.)

Okay got the skeletal posts of a couple critters up in the Monster Revisions thread (cept Dire Beaver which is going in the Dire Critters thread).

For those who want Hackmaster critters, I cannot find a Hacklopedia so you will need to PM me details

Also I again request if anyone has a blank dragon template before I go making my own.

http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=1001.60  Okay most of the first batch is here.  They just need CR and fluff, so if anyone wishes changed made lemme know.  If not, I'll start on the next batch. 

On a side note some of the animals have extra abilities not originally listed in their 2e description (possibly because they weren't known then).  For this reason I made the giant botfly closer to it's real world counterpart.  The Giant Prehistoric Horned Gopher...is only giant compared to modern gophers.  So I shall be doing a Dire Version. 

The Fiendish Orange Wombat is a bit more powerful as i cannot see a 24 foot wombat only having 5 hit dice.

The Giant Space Hamsters remain unfinished as I wish to stat out all their variations, and so some research msut be done.  I'm sure no one will object .

I request the ability to take Giant Botflies as Animal Companions. Level 1 sounds good to me!

According to the flavor text:

Quote
We completely fail to see why everyone is so upset, especially since biology is such an inexact science and for every step we take forward there must be two steps backward but anyway we said we were sorry and we'd like our funding back so we can pay our bail and go home.

Quite a few people object to any research into Giant Space Hamsters.  :P

Which of course means you absolutely must do it now.  :cool

Do you prefer Wooly Rupert as a unique but merely powerful critter, or would you prefer straight up Epic level?

Well, I described him as a "CN legendary giant space hamster of legend sorcerer 20" in my Skratzivort write up, but that was mostly because I didn't think anyone would be demented enough to actually try and summon him.
Certainly I'd be amused if he were a suitably CR 18-20ish planar ally for any squirrellys out there, but feel free to indulge yourself. I'm sensing some serious kaiu potential in an epic-level Wooly Rupert versus Orcus throwdown.

That looks like the full, fuzzy list!

Or you could just make a Giant Space Hamster template to represent their ability to be bred for anything.   :D

Oooooh I might have to do just this!!!

Does anyone know what the hell the two-faced lagan hamster is referencing?  It's too old to be an anime reference, and the only other references i can find to lagan are an Iranian village, an Irish river, a swedish river, a russian town, and a bollywood drama from 1941.

Not a clue.
I recognize the first set from old Spelljammer sources, but I don't recognize the ones after Wooly Rupert.
Maybe a typo?

Oh, and do you need any of the limited SJ info on the first set?

Nope I has access!

Also I'm adding a fe new hamsters for giggles sake, such as the Wrasslin' Hamster.  Mostly inspired by my sisters pets who used to sumo wrestle for possession over the honey coated granola treats.
