AD&D vs 3.5e vs. D&D - Chuuls maybe came from Garbugs

I ran into the Garbug monster, doing my nightly AD&D 2e monster perusing. And the site I was using didn't have a picture. These guys had the picts up, and a nice theory about ... maybe since Garbugs disappeared after 2e AD&D and the Chuul appeared in 3e/3.5e D&D... maybe they are sort of the same monster.

A Chuul. Avg 8 ft long. 

A Garbug. They could fly a tiny bit. ~Same size as Chuul tho, 8-10 ft long. 

This guy has a Deep Dive on Chuuls. https://dumpstatadventures.com/blog/deep-dive-the-chuul

  • They love to eat Lizardmen. The bastards. 
  • Yeah, a good story would be saving / allying with lizardfolk to rid the swamps of the Chuul monsters. 
  • ***also, underdark Chuul.
    • Quote: Some Chuul prefer to live underground, and they prefer the meat of troglodytes and the occasional drow. If none are around, they are more than willing to make do with you.
