I'm making a PC dungeon game, and the designer gave me a list of monsters, all from D&D canon, but I have no idea how to draw some of them. Or what they are at all in these cases. I don't entirely trust Google for this, he's a pretty hardcore D&D fan, and I think some of these might be different in D&D world than the mythology they might originate from. Any knowledge is appreciated!

Aborinn
Loskin
Nightstalker
Orgoyle
Carrion Cat
Cu Centipede
Dorran
Crocotta
Ezwal
Kill-Kill
Stingwing
Genii
Brown Ich
Quelt

Wow. That's... um...

Yeah, I have no bloody clue what those are.

Well, except for Crocottas. Here's an excerpt from the most recent Dragon issue, though note the description might be different from previous editions due to the 4th Edition switch. Basically, it's a really, really ugly (and I mean UGLY) boar with the head of a gnoll. There's a picture if you download the issue (free).

Crocotta
Crocottas are unique to Yeenoghu’s realm, and they fill a niche similar to that of the hyena in the natural world. These beasts are scavengers that have a brutish cunning and an insatiable lust for killing.
Description
This predator blends the features of a wild boar and a hyena. Black-spotted brown fur covers its head. Large brown, pitted tusks emerge from its canine jaw. The rest of its body is hairless and covered with hideous, crusty sores. It has a long ratlike tail.

Nightstalkers are also big, shadowy men things, iirc.

I've never heard of any of these. I'd better check my old 2E Monster Manual.

Can't you just ask the designer? He might just have invented some of them...

if you want lists of monsters appearing in several versions of D&D, you can find them on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Dungeons_%26_Dragons_creatures)

I have no idea whether it's complete though

well dang, NONE of those are in the 4e monster manual (well, I couldn't find them.)

I can't ask the designer about the list because it's a surprise present from one of his old projects :smalltongue:
