Pretty much man we did this in order and skipped over what we couldn't work out, and do anythign with.
I'm not even sure where we are at and will need to plunge into the depths of this long thread. In the end I will reorganize everything (include a little more out of game info) and place it in order, so that way everyone can just search the end posts for the info they are lookin' for.

And so it has begun....and now with my return, I shall try to give you something worth while were we left off.
Bogun: Many years ago, an arfticer named Saal Bogun, strolled out of the Eldeen Reaches, just before the Last War began. He traveled Khorvaire, learning more of his skill, but never was very well acomplished in the art. In his later years he returned home to the deep woods where he had grown up, feeling abused and neglected. However he consulted his friends, and always a strong believer in the druidic faith, one day it came to him. He says in a dream that Eberron spoke to him, and told him a way to show others, that the art he learned was and can be true to the faith.
After a few years, the Bogun was created. He took the creature to Oalian himself, and showed him. Oalian amazed at his creation saw the contruct was truly formed from the natural order, and was not an abhorent misuse of the natural world. For the remainder of Saal's life he was a heartfelt member of Oalian's druidic circle, and advised the council on ways to use the arcane to benifit nature. In his death, the Bogun he had created was named after him, and many druids that do not despice arcane magic, keep boguns to honor him.
The Greensingers however, claim that it was not Eberron, but the fey that taught Saal the methods to create the Bogun, but they have little proof of this.
Braxat: The monsterous beasts, known as braxats now wonder the desert wastelands of Sarlona and Xen'drik. These creatures are highly violent and have little to do with others, even their own kind. It is believed that they are the prodigy of ancient giant breeding programs. However it seems that some tention exist between the two creatures, as Braxats will either flee an area inhabbited by giants, or will actually band together with rivals to eliminate the gaints. Whatever the cause this violent nature has thankfully led to keeping the Braxat population low.
There are untold number of sub-species and many mutant versions exist. Particularly in Xen'drik where these creatures seem to vary widely, and it is said by the elusive Drow, "Determining the future is like predicting a Braxat's prodigy."

Mudmaw: This genetic abberation of the crocodile is netorious in the wilds of the Q'barra and the Shadow Marches. However the creature inhabbits many places, and commonly hides within large groups of normal Crocodiles. They can be found in the southern tropical regions of Khorvaire, and the steaming jungles of Xen'drik and Argonessen.
Many scholars believe it is a normal magical fluke that appeared thousands of years ago, and just bred true. Today a plethora of new species can be seen. From the Dreadtoothed Mudmaw that roams the coast lines of many lands, to the Sandscale Mudmaw of Valenar and north western Xen'drik. Nothing overtly changes in these abilities for the most part however, and it seems that their are only slight differences in their inherrited abilities (for instance the Sandscale can move through soft earth much like a crocodile moves through water).
To date the strangest of all Mudmaws is known as the Skyclapper. The creature gets its name from its strange hunting technique, and is actually a very small creature. It uses its two pseudopods, which from an electrical charge to snatch small flying creatures out of the air. When the two "arms", if you will, slap together their charge releases a powerful electrical volt, stunning, if not killing, their prey. The Skyclapper appears in various mountainous regions near once flowing rivers and lakes, in Xen'drik. Their colorful pelts are highly prized by native Drow.
Needlefolk: In the Jungles of Xen'drik, many myths and legends abound. The Needlefolk are one such legends. It is said that when the elves fled their giant captors, that a group of them had gotten lost in the jungles. These elves after some time began to pray hard to their ancestors, seeking some sort of sign. In the end, it is said that a simple phrase was whispered to them, what the phrase was varies in the legends. However all stories state the same thing, the elves become one with the forest around them.
Today no specimen of the "Needlefolk" as they are called has been discovered. However, several bodies of fallen adventurers have been discovered, with multiple bristles, thorns, or stickers gashing into their bodies. The wounds themselves seem to be minor usually, so it is assumed that they died from sort of toxin. These deaths are said to be the work of the needlefolk, and whenever a body is discovered, it is true that Drow ussually do not inhabbit those regions.

I was just wondering about this and thought, meh nobody probably reads it anymore. Well I guess I was wrong, it seems a few people have read it. If anyone is interested in copying the text and stuff let me know I'd like a pdf or word doc of the file.

I have started compiling a wordperfect file with all the monsters. The beauty is that wordperfect can save its text files as PDFs. Currently I have made a collection for the 3.5 MM1. Only thing stopping me from putting it up is the lack of entries for the following monsters sprites, triton, troll, unicorn, Wraith and Wyvern. And then some minor layout editing. I'm also working on the second monsters manual but at the end you guys got really confusing and I don't really have the time or the energy to go through that right now.
