#1 Hammerhead Jan 01, 2011 14:21:19	I remember reading a conversion of various Dark Sun monsters to 3e and it had silt horrors but there wasn't just one kind there were (I think) red green white and black. Can anyone tell me what the other kinds were like and how come there not in the creature book?

Athas.com has a creature catalog for 3.5 that's a great reference to use for 4e, as to why they didn't do the same for 4e I'd say space or budget constraints. They left plenty of tools in the back of the catalog and DMG's to flesh out your own. With the way the elements are so prominent and corrupted in this edition, use the elemental flavors for different horrors would be an easy and fun way to go.
