Creature territory size
longetalos writes "This article provides the Game Master guidelines on the amount of area a predator (i.e. animals and monsters) will need such that there is enough prey to hunt. Although for most of the Flanaess this might be irrelevant, it does help when planning out the amount of monsters on smaller islands."

Excerpts from the Demonomicon of Iggwilv: Enfrahl (Bone Demon)
grodog writes "Astute readers will have noted the new demon type summonable by Orcus in my
previous post. This entry details the Enfrahl, the Bone Demons, a
major demon of the Abyss.“The Enfrahl are surreal horrors created
through the whimsy and caprice of the Lord of the Undead---a cross between
ossified guardians, bone sculptures as performance art, and sentient,
demonic knick-knacks, the enfrahl represent all that is twisted and
grotesque in the imaginings of Orcus and his ilk. That they are
intelligent and aware is all the more damning….” --- Iscladoc the
Dark, from his _Commentaries on The Demonomicon_."

Deadly Denizens of the Dry Steppes
cwslyclgh writes "The World of Greyhawk is a place where fearsome beasts abound, a place where a
spot on the map marked "Here be Monsters" is apt to be more accurate then even
the most seasoned adventurer would like. strange and deadly creatures lurk in
the out of the way places, and the Dry Steppes are no exception, below are four
monsters that are most commonly found in the Dry Steppes area (although that is
by no means the only place that they can be found)."

On the Bugbears of the Flanaess: History, Culture and Nation
CruelSummerLord writes "Orcs are violence and martial skill. Goblins are survival and intrigue. Kobolds are bitterness and sadism. Ogres are viciousness and brute strength. Gnolls are savagery and bloodlust. Hobgoblins are ritual war and hatred. Bugbears, for their part, integrate all of these traits to varying degrees in allying or opposing certain humanoids, all towards serving their own unique traits of
manipulation and stealth.---Duke Palamenio of Garasteth, Sage of Monstrous Culture and Psychology, University of Rauxes, 229 CY."

Wyrms of the Flanaess: Brazzemal
Osmund-Davizid writes "Brazzemal is a powerful red dragon that once dominated a swath of territory that extended from the western Amedio Jungle to the Sea of Dust to the Dreadwood. He terrorized the lands of the Sea Princes and the Yeomanry for centuries and his fell reputation was the stuff of legends. But he went into his periodic hibernation phase some years ago, and so the short lived races of humanity have begun to forget the might of the bright raider. Recently, he has awoken, and once again the peoples of the south may have reason to again fear the Bright One."

Wyrms of the Flanaess: Gouthogg

He has the fanatical support of a tribe of nomads, has his claws in much of the trade in the region, and is the dominant power over a wide swath of rich territory. He plies his trade with expertise and finesse, and is become a major power and information broker far beyond his domain."

Snow Elves of White Fanged Bay
donimator writes "Scholars believed the reclusive and rare snow elves only inhabited the upper reaches of the Crystalmist Mountains, high in the frigid expanses of the region. Recent reports, however, indicate a more nomadic clan of these elves may occupy the lands east of the Wastes. Living off the resources of the forests, the land and the sea, this group has adapted well to this harsh land and steadfastly avoids contact with all around them."
