Thought I might post a thread where we could all share ideas for additional monsters to the AP. So post away and don't worry no monster idea is outrageous (besides if that weren't we wouldn't use them right?).
Half fiend red dragon
Demons controlled by intellect devourers
Half fiend elf banshee (probably a former elven cultist who was killed by crusaders and came back as one of the undead)
Half red half fiend orc graveknight (probably a deadly opponent given the strange and formidable powers and abilities)
Half fiend unicorn (represents what the evil that the demons have committed against nature; if you really want to be evil make it a half fiend unicorn vampire!)
Graveknight army (for the sword of valor when you're marching your army)
Half black dragon centaurs
Half red dragon trolls (this adds a lot of problems for he PCs!!!!)
Okay that's enough from me for right now. Let's see what the rest of y'all can come up with.

Man-eating goat herds :-)
Half fiend pigs, you know with wings, bonus points if they can some how have it enlarge and you have a Bard named Pinky Floyd that's able to tame it and boost crusader morale by jamming out Another Brick of the Wardstone pt. 2
Although if you do that last part beware, David Gilmour will sue you :-)

I'm sure he would! Lol!
Other monster concepts I feel might be good and that fit the theme would be anything corrupted by evil and fiendish energies like fey or even half fiend hill giants.

... of course now I have plans for a Summoner-Bard multi-class character for Wrath of the Righteous:-D

That might actually work!
Other monsters that I thought would fit this ap since pretty much I read that creatures that exist on the material plane have counterparts on other planes so maybe a fiendish pride of lions or a pack of fiendish wolves.
There's also a half red dragon succubus (not sure how that could be stat but I guess it's possible if the dragon was fiendish to begin with).
The intellect devourers controlling demons would add a bit of lovecraft to the story not to mention it's worth seeing the players and their characters say "oh snap! There's an intellect devourer in that demon!"

The Succubus half Dragon is easy, just slap a half Dragon template on a Succubus:-) of course by then you really should give her class levels :-)
True but since there are probably fiendish dragons (all chromatic of course) in the abyss it make sense I guess. But yeah that does raise the question.
It also brings up the question of how the half fiend unicorn vampire came into being. And if I have to say so myself that would be an extremely difficult encounter.

I think it was more a question of how you get a half-dragon succubus in the first place. :)
That feels like one of the least unlikely pairings that you can have. I guess there's the issue that Succubus children are usually Cambions, instead of Succubi, but if the parents are sufficiently powerful, I could see it working. If it's the mechanics you're worried about, I have faith that Succubi are...equipped...to handle more than the average woman of her size, plus at-will alter self on top of that.
And, if all else fails, a Wizard did it. Wizards are pervs, never forget this.

Well, i would suggest the followings:
book 1 - put in it some kind of uber bestial demon that is however weakened, possibly by holy weapons in his stomach that inflict him negative levels - if the characters beat it, they get wondrous loot
book 2 - instead of the vampire orc, put in there either a few of demon ghouls and/or a blood fiend from old 3.5. Those guys, with a bit of rework, can be a great challange for mythic players of that level and also foreshadow enemies of the next chapter
book 3 - i see no need of better monster for this module
book 4 - put ghour demons for baphomet, or use the minotaur-like monsters from complete minions (maybe with a few spell-like abilities) as elite guard from the daughter
book 5 - go nuts. that prison can contain everything, and i would like to throw in a few titans with mythic simple templates.
book 6 - use the guardian dragon + worm that walks template to create some kind of guardian for the threshold instead of the raspers. Also, that guys body is, in truth, a projection of Xanthir Vang, and until Xanthir is not destroyed, will reform in 1d4 minutes from the sea of maggots.
All of those ideas should be added at mr scorpion stat block

Why do you say unlikely? And yes some mages are weird that way unfortunately. Look at the owlbear for example! Of course the good thing is he's probably not around anymore.

Those are excellent ideas! Bravo!

Least unlikely, as in I find it quite likely that there are half-dragon succubi out there.
Back on topic:
In addition to the recommendation to go nuts in book 5, I'd also recommend going nuts in book 4, at least while they're in the Porphory City (I'm not going to try to spell the real name). It's a mecca of trade in the lower planes, and should be treated as such. I actually, for parts of that adventure, just rolled a random page in a random bestiary and pulled a monster out from there. So many Pixies.
I can't think of any other big changes I did to the monsters appearing here. Mostly I just changed their motivation or reasoning (ie, I wasn't sure why the Nalpheshnee were attacking at the start of Adventure 6, so I introduced a story that they were hunting Horgus for owing a debt that someone else had made in his name. It made more sense at least, given their nature as the 'maintainers of the Abyss' than random flying mooks of a larger army.
In part 5 I am adding Erum-Hel's encounter from Undead Unleashed. Adding it in right after they arrive in the Labrynith while the explore the random areas.
