The Midwich Cuckoos is a 1957 sci-fi novel written by John Wyndham. It tells the tale of an English village in which the women become pregnant by brood parasitic aliens. It was as adapted as in 1960. This is my take on the classic film.

Darkmantles are highly evolved mollusks that disguise themselves as stalactites and rocks in caves. As if they weren't terrifying enough, these ambush predators exude magical darkness when they drop onto their prey. Yikes!

the grell

These floating, beaked brain predators from the Far Realms originally appeared in White Dwarf in 1979 (the githyanki also originated in the Fiend Factory articles of that magazine), but shortly made their way into D&D's Fiend Folio (1981).

A small but long dragon creature that tends to work alone, sometimes attacking travelers but more often scavenging off of the dead. It loves to steal shiny objects and ironically parts of its body are prized as status symbols in many cultures.

Platinum Dragons!

Platinum dragons are especially rare in first appearing in Original D&D's Greyhawk supplement (1975). There are only three named platinum dragons (that I could find), and they are all gods!
- Bahamut
- Tamara (wingless)
- Lendys (wingless)

Owlbears

Did you know that this cuddly creature, along with at least 3 other monsters, was inspired by dime store prehistoric monster bags? It bears little resemblance to the toy now, but check out Dave Sutherland's art from the AD&D Monster Manual (1977)!
