Just what it says in the title folks. And the answer is NOT "why don't you just pay Pathfinder. it's better."

I just want to convert some creatures to 3.5 to add some variety.

Thank You!

Throw out CMB/CMD and calculate a grapple mod, split the skills into their 3.5 counterparts, swap any SLAs that mimic spells into their 3.5 counterparts, and that should just about do it. Oh, and axe 1/3 of their feats if PF left that transparent between monsters and PCs.

PF has a free conversion guide PDF (http://paizo.com/products/btpy89m6?Pathfinder-Roleplaying-Game-Conversion-Guide) you can download on their site, and it includes monsters. Just follow the steps in reverse.

Alternatively, there's this guide (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/extras/community-creations/sowhereaminow-s-lab/creature-conversion-guide/), which at a cursory glance seems to capture most of what you'd need. Again, you would do the steps backwards.
