However, that said, I can see them working in any setting with a combination of a lack of water, earth or stone, and high levels of undead or some other source of negative energy. A pyramid works thematically, so go for it. I was pleased as punch to see the Dust Wight in the MMIII.

Actually I was wrong on that. They're just most common on that plane, but aren't 'native' really since they're just what happens when a mortal dies there most often. So even given that, they'd still nominally be native to the prime, you're right on that. But yeah, 3e has a habit of grabbing monsters, stripping them of context and them writing them up. *shrug*
