Brown Bear is the common way of saying Ursus Arctos.  The various kinds of brown bear are Ursus Arctos Whatevers.  The Grizzly Bear is Ursus Arctos Horribilis.

Hungry Heads are based of a DnD monster, I think...

Vargouilles. But with less kissing and stuff.

A Frankenstein's-monster kinda thing. A human(oid) flesh golem deal.

FYI, the original Frankenstein created his monster through what was implied to be more alchemical methods. Both kinds would still be neat.

My choice for s/mb...something underwater, to help inspire sea-based stuff. Boats are eventually coming in, and krakens/giant turtles/sea serpents/etc would be a great addition for when they do.

A Black dog / Barghest like in The Hound of the Baskervilles could be interesting.

The prime monster though that I feared in Castle of the Winds the most though had to be the Gelatinous Glob (based of D&D's Gelatinous Cube).

Really?  I always had a heck of a time with manticores in CotW, and I thought the cubes were a bit too easy.  Manticores would do annoying stuff like shoot 6 tailspikes at you in one turn and take you from 30HP to -10HP.

I'd kind of like to see manticores in DF.  I agree that they would make an interesting use of the new combat enhancements.

Manticore's were badass for sure, but I always had more problems with the Gelantinous Glob due to their tendency to sometimes paralyze you when they got close; nothing says owned like dying due to not being able to move or undertake any action. I also tended to Melee everything to death though. Doing a Let's Play now I'm a little wiser and know that spells have a purpose against certain monsters.

Things that are strong, you know you rightly fear them and take precautions against them. However, the thing that tends to kill you is the thing you don't properly prepare for. That tends to be why I fear the Globs more now - I never properly fought them. (It be like fighting a Dragon with a Pike and no Shield).
