Exactly waht it says on the tin. What obscure creatures do you want brought back in D&D Next. Here are a few of my picks:

Kythons: From the 3e Book of Vile Darkness, I'd love to see them brought back. With their organic weaponry and Xenomorphish frames, they could become D&D's equivalent to the Tyranids, though I do wish they had a few more variants to make the analogy complete (Such as one with wings, one with many disgusting and horrible breath weapons, a burrowing one, that sort of thing)

Kaorti: From the 3e Fiend Folio, I like these guys as Aberrant humanoid mooks a lot better than the Fowlspawn, because they feel so much more alien with their resin dependency. Plus, the Skybleeder is the most awesome mount for anything ever.

Ocularon: Those eyestealing creatures from the 3e Fiend Folio, I think they'd be perfect to bring back as the (un)natural enemy of Beholders, with their ability to steal eyes and make them explode and their fear of being seen.

Ixachachitl.

Becuase their name is silly.

Extrimigrals. I made it up right now.

To anyone who thinks Pathfinder is outselling D&D Show

While one report may say that FLGS report a greater amount of book sales, one cannot forget the fact that the 71000 DDI subscribers paying 6-10 dollars a month don't count as "Book Sales."

Stuff I Heard Mike Say (subject to change): Multiclassing will be different than in 3.5! That's important.
There is no level cap; classes advance ala 3.5 epic levels after a set level.
Mundane (AKA fighter and co) encounter and daily powers will probably not be in the PHB (for the lack of space), but nor will they be in some obscure book released halfway through the edition.

You can't please everyone, but you can please me.
I DO NOT WANT A FREAKING 4E REPEAT. I DO NOT WANT A MODULE THAT MIMICS MY FAVORITE EDITION. I WANT MODULES THAT MIMIC A PLAYSTYLE AND CAN BE INTERCHANGED TO COMPLETELY CHANGE THE FEEL, BUT NOT THE THEME, OF D&D. A perfect example would be an espionage module, or desert survival. A BAD EXAMPLE IS HEALING SURGES. WE HAVE 4E FOR THOSE! A good example is a way to combine a mundane and self healing module, a high-survival-rate module, and a separate pool of healing resource module.

YES! D&D's version of Alien was awesome!

Also, why not bring back some of the undead from Libris Mortis, like Necropolitan?
