You know, it sounds goofy on paper (like a ducksnake), but think about how vicious owls are for a moment.
Owlbears were originally invented by an insane mage, only to break free and breed until they became part of the ecosystem. They are one of D&D's most classic monsters, and apparently came from another of those weird knockoff dinosaurs, only one that you almost never see.
It's related just enough to a standard Green Dragon to spit poison, but otherwise blends very well into its terrain.
Fighting an Ancient Red Dragon is an exercise in blind faith, courage, and stupidity... This Ain't Granamyr!
I don't own the MOTUC Granamyr, but seeing it reminded me of my roughly-the-same-size D&D Icons Colossal Red Dragon. This thing is HUGE, and solid PVC!
And... it cost me $75 when they were new. Apparently now they go for $350 or more. HOLY CRAPWOW. AND THIS WAS SITTING IN MY ATTIC?!?!?!?!? ARRGH GOTTA DUST HIM MORE YOU ARE GETTING SHELF SPACE, MY FRIEND!

The name "Lloigor" originally came from an August Derleth story, and applied to a typical betentacled Elder God. The name was dropped until 1969, when Colin Wilson wrote "The Return of the Lloigor," and redefined the name.
The Lloigor are a species of alien energy beings from the Andromeda galaxy. They can possess people or take nearly any form, but most often prefer to appear as giant reptilian monstrosities - in fact, they are the source of many of our legends about dragons. But when given free reign, Lloigor are more monstrous than any dragon, and serve the will of the dreaded Ghatanathoa, spawn of Cthulhu.
Anything that lives in Yeenoghu's realm becomes more and more like a Gnoll. In no way does this resemble a toad, yet it is still a powerful member of Yeenoghu's cadre.
This isn't just a Troll, he's a Troll's Troll. He's so huge that he can even be mistaken for a Mountain Troll! And he's fierce, too. Knows what he's doing.
The Storm Lord, King of the Balor Demons, and greatest warrior of the World Wound, Khorramzadeh is wreathed in fire and lightning, and is an unstoppable juggernaut on the battlefield. His mere existence terrifies the forces of Golarion, and news has begun to spread that he might be planning a true invasion.
Commanders of the Ba'atezu legions of Avernus, the Pit Fiends endlessly fight the Blood War against their chaotic Demon foes.
"So at length Carter crawled through endless burrows with three helpful ghouls bearing the slate gravestone of Col. Nepemiah Derby, obit 1719, from the Charter Street Burying Ground in Salem. When they came again into open twilight they were in a forest of vast lichened monoliths reaching nearly as high as the eye could see and forming the modest gravestones of the Gugs. On the right of the hole out of which they wriggled, and seen through aisles of monoliths, was a stupendous vista of cyclopean round towers mounting up illimitable into the grey air of inner earth. This was the great city of the Gugs, whose doorways are thirty feet high. Ghouls come here often, for a buried Gug will feed a community for almost a year, and even with the added peril it is better to burrow for Gugs than to bother with the graves of men. Carter now understood the occasional titan bones he had felt beneath him in the vale of Pnoth."
-H. P. Lovecraft, "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath"
There is no good guy in this fight. Each demon protects mortals from the other, but at the price of their own murderous torments. Lamashtu slaughters the innocent, while Pazuzu brings famine.
Clearly, they represent male and female fears - the woman's fear of losing her child, and the man's fear of losing his ability to provide.
Slime-shaped servants of Lolth, these demonic shapeshifters often take the form of comely Drow females.
A brutal and cruel arch devil, Moloch unfortunately is foolish and headstrong. After being duped into attempting to overthrow Asmodeus one time too many, he has been punished - exiled to the material plane, and unable to return to the Nine Hells without being depowered into a tiny imp. He plots and schemes to regain his lost glory, all the while consumed by bitter, violent hatred of everything.
This is not the same as the last flesh golem picture - but I forgot ot upload it in the long lead time before taking the other one!
I never was, am always to be. No one ever saw me, nor ever will, and yet, I am the confidence of all who live and breathe. What am I?
These giants, mutated by the harsh world of Athas, are unfortunately treated like animals and pets, mindlessly thrown into arenas to fight for their lives.
This is it! The biggest of the big, a "miniature" only because what it emulates is so massive, it's WOT'c largest D&D mini ever! The Colossal Red Dragon stands at over a foot in height, emulating the fact that an actual Ancient Red Dragon would be as big as a three-storey house. You know, I have to question the logic of fighting something like this with swords, ya know?
Seeing as how D&D cribbed its material from everything in the world, it's no surprise that it got sued from time to time. For example, J. R. R. Tolkien's estate sued TSR over a few intellectual property rights. And although they managed to prove that "Orc" was not a unique word to Tolkien (Warcraft thanks you!), there were a few issues necessitating change, such as:
-Hobbits became Halflings
-Ents became Treants
-And Balrogs became Balor Demons.
The Mythical Balor was king of the Fomorians (proto-fae giants). D&D Balor is a type of demon. A BIG type of demon. These guys are the biggest, baddest, toughest dudes beneath the Demon Lords, and they know it. Wielding flaming whips and vorpal swords, Balors command armies, but certainly arent afraid to mix it up in the front lines. Besides, if one dies, it explodes, anyway, so why not?
