During the development of the d30 DM Companion (now available in print from Lulu.com), I tried to steer clear of those things that would violate the protected intellectual property of the industry's Big Brother. Among other things, that meant staying away from monster names the you-know-who stakes claim to as being "outside of the OGL." It seemed to be a happy accident that when laying out the monster description pages (above) that support the monster encounter tables, many of my "reverse engineered" names fell at the page breaks (and therefore ended up on the page headers. Note the copper colossus, corroder and hobghoul.)
The monster description pages note above are one of the reasons that the d30 DM Companion and a d30 are pretty much all you need to stock a dungeon. Including generating general dungeon features, traps, and treasure. Think of it as the Monster & Treasure Assortment books on d30 crack!

I'm sold! Excellent job with the design. I thoroughly endorse the use of the d30 as an adjunct to fine gaming everywhere.
