I think you have them all, although I wouldn't count the golem or Tup since they aren't Mummy's Mask promos.
Did I miss one or is there no promo monster in this set?
Maybe the devs caught on the idea that there's nothing "promo" about adding monsters to your game if they're nasty like the Grindilow or Owlbeartross?
OTOH, I approve of promo monsters like the Rogue Eidolon (Padrig's card), which gives you a bonus exploration if defeated. As a rule of thumb, promo cards should be something that you *want* to add to your game, not the opposite...

Don't get me started on casters and the Pig From Hell.

That thing nearly lost us the final WotR scenario. Not too bad normally, but godawful when you're treating the deck like it's 10. Worse, it kept getting shuffled back in over the villain.
We need more of those "och my god we Are going to die" promos ;)
They make life more interesting and Also shorter!
I liked Rogue Eidolon, but I *loved* Owlbeartross. As much for the grueling difficulty of its pun as its checks. In 2 player games, anyway, time constraints are usually nonexistent and resource management isn't that tough, so we tend to be pretty up for turning over cards with a high quotient of "how the hell are we supposed to deal with this???"
My favorite promo bane is still always gonna be The Squealy Nord, tho. ;_;

You say that, but I was playtesting something with the Skull &a Shackles box with two players, and we basically had to discredit one whole session of play testing as "We kept getting wrecked by the Owlbeartross. Over and over and over."
0-1A and Owlbeartross is enough of a death sentence (esp for casters) that I can't recommend 0-1A for starter characters. 0-1B is better if you're completely new. The skill feat makes 0-1A a lot easier.
I think of Owlbeartross as more of a deck 2 promo than deck 1.
