So, where did the concept images for creatures like the rust monster come from, anyway? One of TSR's former illustrators talks about where some of the monsters came from.
Where some classic monsters came from.

Well, that explains some of the anatomically odd illustrations, and sheds a lot of light on that horrible and thankfully abandoned pronunciation guide for "bulette" -- it was some guy who didn't understand French pronunciation rules trying to change the word "bullet" so that it didn't sound like "bullet".

Nice find. It really shows how the originators of D&D just let their imaginations go wild, not fettered by some idea of how a fantasy world "should" be. Early Greyhawk was very much a free-for-all in many ways, and that's how we played it back in the 70's and early 80's. It never took itself too seriously, and that's one of the reasons I prefer that world to the Forgotten Realms. Anything could happen in the lands of Oerth (which Gygax pronounced "Oith" - like one of the Bowery Boys...)
