Some kind of giant burrowing worm, I hope.

Bel-Shamharoth would be nice, too. Or some variation. Like a super-tentacle-beak-mandible one-eyed demon.

I expect a lot are thnigs like giant centipedes, woodlice, etc, even though we're getting the Giant ___ and -man templates already.

Cool, although he said that very few of them are the new humanoid -man creatures.

There aren't too many real underground creatures that aren't either worms or arthropods. At least no true cave critters, those that evolved in caves.

I would say maybe some new aquatic critters and loads of arthropods.

Edit: He could also have used some cool looking forgotten ones that the RNG tossed up. Something like that shelled blob forgotten one would be cool.

It's a giant worm!  They're sinking cities with a giant worm!

That aside, I'm hoping for some interesting hybridizations of strange things.  In one of the Forgotten Realms books I read, there was, at least I interpreted from the description, a creature rather like a cross between a whip scorpion and some sort of large black cat. 

Also some purely fantastical things like flying air-breathing bioluminescent jellyfish-rays the size of VW bugs.

Displacer Beast?



Hmm.. Maybe some sort of very poisonous insect? The size of a couch of course.

I think one of the ones I saw in Toady's raw dump was a deep crow.

That was a randomly generated mega-beast.  It had bright green feathers and an austere look about it, IIRC.  Though I would heartily approve of a subterranean population of deep crows.

 We have 20 different castes of Molemen.
