One of the worst things to come from the Poison Swamp, Venom Trolls absorb toxins thanks to their unique regenerative bodies.

All healing magic performed near this hulking creature is corrupted into harm.

Powerful, proud, and greedy, the red dragons are the epitome of dragonkind.

A Draegloth drider is even worse than the original!

Seahorses are sometimes literal.

Gem dragons are beautiful, yet no less dangerous than other dragons.

Yes, even snails can be morbid.

This shadow demon is a master manipulator.

The undisputable lord of storms.

The Demon Prince of Minotaurs rules from his vast hellish maze in the Abyss.

Bulettes can adapt to many environments.

I see a few slight differences with the dragon head. How majestic!

A trio of soldiers from the Republic's vast clone army prepares to engage the Separatist droid forces on Geonosis.

A crude form of flesh golem, the skinstitch is made from fresh human leather and straw.

These noble creatures enjoy living among mortals, secretly acting as their protectors.

From any tree?

A dark demon, the Seraptis influences its victims with depression and hopelessness, guiding and tempting them to take their own lives.

A nascent demon lord stranded on earth, Treerazer is a nightmare only spoken of in whispers.

Sometimes even the trees are evil.

This is pretty similar to that Ectoplasmic Phantom.

Cockatrice and Basilisk diverged from a strange linguistic confluence.

They are the elementals of death, creatures of doom and destruction.

A fair moniker.

This earth-aligned race is powerful.

Bigger than a house and twice as mean as the storm, the Blue Dragon glasses the landscape in his rage. The only thing you can do is pray.

John Avon's was my favorite growing up, getting lost in his epic forests and hiking up the staggering mountains, or trudging through the luminous swamps! So inspirational!

Also known as the "Star Vampire," the titular creature appeared in a 1935 story by Robert Bloch (better known for writing Psycho). Bloch and Lovecraft were friends, and Lovecraft gave Bloch express permission to "portray, murder, annihilate, disintegrate, transfigure, metamorphose, or otherwise manhandle the undersigned in the tale entitled The Shambler From The Stars."

And so, in the story:

A horror author (who happened to resemble H. P. Lovecraft) happened to find De Vermis Mysteriis - "The Secret of the Worm" - in a used book store. And in his eagerness to finally see the true mysteries behind the cosmos, the shadowy things that he had only dared write about! The young man first tried to summon a familiar, a creature from beyond the stars to help him. What came instead was a nightmare.

The Shambler, an invisible monstrosity of teeth and tentacles, announced its presence with a manic, tittering laugh. And then it latched onto its would-be summonier, sucking the blood from his body and devouring him. It was then, and only then that the creature could be seen by the naked eye. Because once it feasts, the invisible creature cannot cover up the vermillion fluid now running through its horrific body.

And yes, this is the "Shambler" in Scribblenauts.

As a Blue Dragon ages, he gains more power over lightning.

A creation of Clark Ashton Smith, Abhoth is the source of all corruption and abomination - the Old One itself is a featureless gray mass, a blob the size of a flood, and it resides deep under the earth. Creatures continually spawn from Abhoth's body - this one is a chaotic mass of ooze, teeth, and eyes, but in truth no two Children of Abhoth are alike. Some resemble monstrous humans, some severed but living body parts, others deformed abominations, and still more blobs or formless beasts of chaos. Abhoth's realm is where the laws of nature go to be devoured.

Some of the most vile and evil demons of the Abyss, Nalfeshnees are master manipulators, slavers, and devourers.

Nearly every ancient culture has some form of the Firebird myth. I honestly wonder what this means.

When a troll does the unthinkable - eating its own kind - it soon mutates, the other devoured trolls growing within and sprouting from its body as its natural regeneration goes into overdrive, transforming it into an insane nearly-immortal abomination!

Balor demons are only truly unbound for the Blood War. They are considered too destructive for the Abyss otherwise.

The horned slavers of the Abyss, these demons trade in humans, body and soul.

Their race exists because of centaur-lizardman-dragon shenanigans. Don't ask.

Its song is entrancingly, maddeningly beautiful. The truth, however, is far different.

Legends speak of a dire sharktopus lurking deep beneath the waves!

Surprisingly intelligent for a filth-eater!

Halaster Blackcloak believes in clutter.

Some of the more obscure creatures in Lovecraft's writings, Dholes are tremendous, slimy, mindless subterranean worms. They live in the darkest places beneath the earth, and are slowly devouring the planet from within. Absolutely nothing else is known about them, which adds to another detail I like in the Cthulhu Mythos - not everything is a sapient elder god-demon. Sometimes there are strange, unexplainable monsters that just exist.

Colossal and rare in the extreme, Rune Giants were bred by the ancient Ruelords to enforce their tyrannical will.

Matriarchs of the Sahuagin are old, bloated, and not that different from insect hive queens.
