Modern RPG Creature Creations
From Lost Minis Wiki
Impending Search Synonyms (Sample): rust monster, beholder, conjunctivus, carrion creeper, shuggoth.
Cautions: The collection is sorted not by name, but by unpainted visual appearance, in this case, that of non-classical (mostly D&D creations). This is a kind of catch-all gallery of creatures that are difficult to categorize in terms of real organism similarities, but they are grouped as best we can, first by body type. Creatures that are half-human are listed in the separate Half-Humans gallery. Since this collection may exceed the page length limit, links will be provided for each category as they become overlarge. Also, the collection cannot be expected to be kept up to date, as it is not the main purpose of this wiki to indulge the viewer with these special galleries; hence, a proper search should ensue if your figure cannot be quickly identified from this gallery.
To find the identity of the figure: Simply click on the thumbnail, then, on the page with the pic, scroll down to see what links to that pic and follow the links.
Editors: Please observe the rules and requests at the top of the edit page.
Sculptors: Take note what categories seem neglected!
Collectors: Enjoy the eye candy!

Bugbear-Kin
Pumpkin-headed Bears
From OD&D and Runequest. The early bugbear artist concepts were literally pumpkinheaded:
- “It has been said that this was a miscommunication between Gary [Gygax] and Greg [Bell]; and in fact when relating what he imagined the Bugbear looked like, Gary meant a big roundish head when he said "A head like a pumpkin...", and not an actual pumpkin. Nevertheless, the illustration stayed as originally drawn, with a big pumpkin-headed Monster. So for about three years, every D&D player was battling pumpkin-headed Bugbears. That is, until the Monster Manual was published and set everyone straight.” ~ Source: http://shamsgrog.blogspot.com/2008/07/whats-bugbear.html

Umber hulks (& kin): Insect-headed primate-beasts
Since the name of this D&D beastie is rightly claimed as a "Product Identity" by Wizards of the Coast, several alternative names have been applied to unofficial D&D sculpts ("Amber Hulk", "Brawn Hulk", "hulker", "umberbulk", "umber bulk", "umberhulk", etc.). There are several types of umber hulks, including the "undead hulk", "psi-hulk", "Lumbering Hulk"and "shadow hulk". Early (pre-3rd ed. ADD) "vodyanoi" were considered kin to umber hulks. See also the early misconception of Bugbear above: Bug-headed Bears. Citadel has an Ambull.

Beholders (& kin): Really big eyeball-things with mouths
Since the name of this D&D beastie is rightly claimed as a "Product Identity" by Wizards of the Coast, several alternative names have been applied to unofficial D&D sculpts. There are several varieties of these "Eyes": "Sphere of Many Eyes", "Eye Tyrant", "Observer", "Spectator", "Eye of the Deep", "Elder Orb", "Hive Mother", "Elder Orb", "Death Kiss", "Director", "Eyeball", "Gauth", "Gouger", "Overseer", "Umbrascarred", "Watcher" and "Death Tyrants".
The true beholder of D&D fame floats in air, rather than rising from legs, stalk or tentacles, as the Reaper "Conjunctivus" does, hence the subcategory below the following gallery for true beholders.
