Everyone else gets to make crazy requests or try to add systems of their own, so here's my crazy request.
Remember the Dire Rat from 2nd edition with the big false teeth? The hairless rat the burrows, has six legs and often acts as a mount for Jermalaine? I want to bring 'em back. Maybe as wizard familiars, maybe as just an oddity for little subterranean creatures. Osquips need some love. If there's a copyright issue, you can call 'em "Burrow Rats" or something, give them different false teeth or a thin coat of hair to make them a completely different creature. No one will ever know.
All I know is, I don't want my PCs to live in a world where there isn't somewhere a rat with enormous teeth digging around. Even if they never see it. Even if they never know. The osquip is the hope of every man, woman and child, given concrete form. The little misfits that everyone scratches their head over, overshadowed even by the flumph. Out-adorabled by hamsters and other lovable rodent the world over. It's time to let the Osquip resume its rightful place as the pity candidate of the Monster Manual.
I'm James Keegan, and I approve this message.

Fans of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars tales immediately recogined the osquip as the Ulsio. I'd love to see that critter, and maybe some of the other iconic Martian monsters, statted up for 3.5 or Pathfinder.

There likely will be - since they've been updated for 3e in Races of Faerun.
