Really bad D&D monsters

Funny list. [Link]
I'll admit that, for someone who's into gaming and roleplaying, it's pretty weird that I never got into playing Dungeons & Dragons. I think it might be the fact that I never got into Elves or just that the whole Fantasy genre just seemed like one long Conan the Barbarian-based cliche. Whatever the case, that didn't stop me from getting one of the books years and years ago. Instead of the core book, which would have allowed me and my friends to actually PLAY the game, I was the proud owner of one of the Monster Manuals. You know, because I've always loved monsters. At the age of twelve I'd realize that it looked like someone seven-years-old designed some of the monsters, and my opinion hasn't changed to this day. That's not to say that all these monsters are retarded and lame. Oh no. Only Some of them are stupid beyond words...and that's what this article is all about. After doing a lot of research which entailed getting my hands on a copy of almost every Monster Manual that's been printed over the past 30 years, I've put together a list of the most mind-numbing creations that a lot of you will be surprised someone didn't get their ass handed to them for even suggesting.
There's a whole lot of other great reviews at his site.
