I've always had a soft spot for Stirges. In fact, it's almost a running gag when I DM, the first encounter in every new campaign is with a nest of stirges...

And I guess I'm an old fashion kind of DM, as I tend to favor the classics like the Kobold, the Minotaur, and the Umberhulk. Heck, I still call Vrocks Type 1 Demons!!

I keep the new stuff for 'special' occasions when I want to surprise the group or when they travel far from their homeland.

I understand what you're talking about!

Types I, II, III, IV and V demons, devils (I never got into the Baatezu/Tanerrii (sp?) thing), stirges, ropers, carrion crawlers, trolls, rust monsters, displacer beasts, and basilisks are still my favorites.

Wow! I see lots of Metal and Rock! I must be the only musical pagan here!

I don't run the CD player much, but I sure use my Window Media Player, listening to:

The Starlight Drifters (rockabilly band from Detroit)
Gene Watson
Vern Gosdin
Marty Robbins
Marty Stuart (especially the Pilgrim album)
Hank Williams
Badabing Badaboom (swing band from Nashville)
Gordon Lightfoot
Dan Fogelberg
Riders In The Sky
Ray Price

and lots of others...
