I'd been wondering about that unfamiliar EO illustration.<br /><br />Also, thanks for the link to the Burntwire Brothers game room complete with the cover art to C3: The Lost Island of Castanimir. I own a couple of original Jeff Easley illustrations of monsters from that module, as I posted here: <a href="http://rpggeek.com/image/1106693/" rel="nofollow">http://rpggeek.com/image/1106693/</a>Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006976826851198428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046247285022763255.post-3168303575990081452012-02-24T15:44:10.864-08:002012-02-24T15:44:10.864-08:00I wasn't a big fan of EO back in the day, but ...I wasn't a big fan of EO back in the day, but I've since learned to love his artwork. This is an excellent little illustration, something which the MM and all manuals monsterous could do with, along with a good written description. I probably used this monster in my once campaign aquatic since there were never that many aquatic monsters available in published material.Jason Zavodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109502376214104276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046247285022763255.post-31916006135000426212012-02-24T15:43:33.778-08:002012-02-24T15:43:33.778-08:00Baader Meinhof?

Actually, it seems highly unlikely that I didn't notice it back in '81 when I got my first monster manual, but I quickly forgot it. Thanks for the art, good to know what they look like.Timrod https://www.blogger.com/profile/15308269015770538709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046247285022763255.post-85056766492879277602012-02-24T13:34:45.777-08:002012-02-24T13:34:45.777-08:00Ah, the Masher!

Along with the Irish Deer and some other obscure entries, I've never used it in a game.<br /><br />I'm also looking forward to this series.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132556436493370782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046247285022763255.post-14100636347734311362012-02-24T12:36:04.909-08:002012-02-24T12:36:04.909-08:00Very cool, Zenopus.
