It seems to me that lots of players seem to only like Tortodrone. Aren't you forgetting all the other great beta monsters that never made it to release? Some of the list: Vog Cub, Catty Wampus, Badger, Oilar Baron, Spiny Toxilargo, Ironwood Sentinel, Golden monsters, Green Jelly...and the list goes on.
The developers are too busy with the upcoming updates, but I just hope they consider returning some of these old monster back :D
Oh, sorry I never knew. Are there any other monsters that have been changed, but are similar to the beta versions?
I can't find a page for Spiny Toxilargo, but I imagine it's like the one that spawns in Concrete Jungle: Briar Bone Barrage.
Spiny Toxilargo was removed from the wiki along with Deep Sloom a long time ago.
Golden monsters?
Didn't people complain about having what they call "cheap monsters" in the game ruining it? *cough*grinchlinassault*cough*
I'd kill for a aquatic dragon or some sort of megalodon.
Golden monsters can do the same role as the Rabbid Snarbolaxes in the battle rooms of SL Gloaming Wildwoods or the Perma-Frostifurs of Heart of ice: Invencible monsters that you can't defeat until you complete the battle room.
A gold Trojan/Puppy can be a good idea for future missions/levels. Btw, I think that a Catty Wampus model was never done in the game.
Catty Wampus was actually in game, if I recall correctly I think there were in the early version of Silent Metropolis.
The Jelly Green Giant is one that I'd really like to see added back, if only because it'd take 10 minutes to slip in an energy gate on that level and there doesn't seem to be a reason against it.
And isn't Margrel basically Cattywampus?
I miss the ironwood sentinels.. But they are now in the very first mission in the recruit camp. What a fun fight. Golden trojans almost made me smash my computer in rage.... (They were these guys who were impssible to beat. They had no weak points so they were indestructible. the green giant cubes were so cute and big... I wish they added back the green cubes again. I don't remember cattywampuses or oiler barons I don't think.. Vog cubs won't come back because of the description of the vog cub cap... :( I missed those guys... Same with badgers. So dang cute...
There are some theories as to how to reach the jelly green giant if it still exists in that place. Some group of knights came up with a bunch of ideas as to how but I doubt they figured it out.
Oiler Baron remains in the Spiral Spy model files, so it's probably we will see him any month/year.
I hope so. But the monsters I really want to see back is Vog Cub and Sloom.
What was the Catty Wampus and the Badger?How did they looked like?
I would like to know if Tortodrone will appear in a new danger mission or random arcada encounters...
I guess Tortodrone will be in random arcade encounters and may even have a mission based on just them, if they are rare players would be disappointed.
Doing a quick Google search, I found an image that shows several removed Monsters.
I never even knew Badgers existed.
Megalodon, huh? Have you seen the documentary about it on Discovery channel? now about that, are you saying they should put a giant shark as a boss/miniboss/rare monster somewhere? THAT would be interesting
Megalodon in SK? That doesn't sound right. how would you fight a shark themed monsters if knights can't go under water? Bitsbee I had some images of some other beta monsters in action, however they are at my old PC which is not working.

You have obviously played way too few videogames.
EDIT: Forget what I said. It could be implemented into Spiral Knights.
Slooms.
I miss the lil mystical guys,
And Jelly armours' sleep resistance meaning something.
How do you NOT know what badgers were? They were so cute!
Golden mobs...
Also if you check Spiral Knights early video you would be thrilled by what you see...
But half of the content you see didn't make it past beta... Golden Trojan, Alpha Fire Wolver (with old tracking) @ 0:27... what is this lovely costume 4 years ago? o.O man that video is awesome... I am drooling! :O
If SK was like that... OMG
Edit: SK could make such a banger by stepping up AI a notch by using old data files... Golden Trojan has it place along vana and in couple arenas before it in Elite... So does big fire alpha wolver in FSC...
At 43 seconds in the video, why is there a Zelda symbol to the right of the screen? ~Z
Vog's cubs were beta monsters?!
Pics please!
"The list: Vog Cub, Catty Wampus, Badger, Oilar Baron, Spiny Toxilargo, Ironwood Sentinel, Golden monsters, Green Jelly..."
A new Ironwood Sentinel is now a Mini-Boss to new Knights. The Lumbers you see in the Swarm are also Sentinels. They may not look like the original, but they're there.
