This has been on my TODO queue for a long time now. I'd like to remake a
lot of the monster xpms, mainly to fix up the perspective there. It's not
a simple task tho (and making passably nice houses is a lot easier than
passably nice monsters :). (Blah, I should try to recruit da significant
other to do that... only, then we'd get crossfire - the expressionistic
generation. I'm sure the arts crowd would love it, but...)

And more humanoid versions. Humans (citizens), dwarves, elves, etc.
