This I think concludes the necessary "pre-dungeon work" let the dungeon work begin... next time maps and monsters? Hmm, if I ever lose my mind completely and decide to design an rpg, Maps & Monsters is the name.
What
monsters are terrorizing the countryside sufficiently that if I kill
them I will become famous?
Any
of the semi-invisible flying mega-predators called a Kitemouth are
likely to have a hoard of accidentally swallowed treasure inside
their tremendous, and very long stomachs.Older Wood Wyrms, a kind of green forest dragon with vegetation growing from their backs, also swallow masses of treasure to keep in their crop or merely because they like it.
