First thing Hugo needs to do is create a comic about an island of misfit monsters, and have them singing a sad song, when visitors from the Flumph Liberation Front come and promise that they will get to be a part of Lamashmas...
I notice that trying to redeem the nilbog is a bridge too far, even for Paizo, despite what they did for goblins.
Did the wolf in sheep's clothing make the list before, or after, Carly Fiorina's widely-mocked campaign add?
Some monsters are just dumb, all the way through.
I would also put the gorilla bear on that list. And probably the gorbel (he ALMOST made it on there.) And the lava child too, for that matter. I'm VERY CURIOUS to see how THAT one turns out...
I can only hope the al-mi'raj is in More Misfit Monsters Redeemed.
The al-mi'raj is actually a real-world mythological creature. One of the requirements of this book was that ALL of the misfits had to be things that were invented whole-cloth for the game.

Oops. Bestiary 3, then? :)

And I was all ready to name the Island of Misfit Monsters, Jezîrat al-Tennyn.
Now I wish I had more money, and a checking account.

I have it on good authority that the lava child will be completely full of WIN and AWESOME and all forms of smiley goodness.
But you'll still want to slap the taste right out of his creepy smiley clown mouth.

Well, that should change starting next week, right?
Not really. The new job starts out at less then what I was getting on unemployment. And the checking account will only happen when th credit union decides to let me have one.

You're not working full-time, then? Maybe I misunderstood when I first read you got your job.

I'm surprised so many of these misfits are open content. Who on earth OGLed the dire corby? Lava children? Wolf-in-sheep's-clothing? Our friends at Necromancer?
This announcement inspired me to pull out the ol' Fiend Folio. I thought I'd see what other unloved creatures of yore might appear here. I think this whole book could have been done just from the entries in A-D. But that would leave out classic goofballs like the gambado or the mantari. The original Fiend Folio was an ... interesting book.

Yep. Necromancer got their foot in the door while the getting was good, and let a lot of the more obscure critters out of the barn before the farm changed hands.
It's one of the reasons I love the Tome of Horrors series.
