Argh. I see what happened. *All* of the Nazgorian monsters, which were filed under 'Nazgorian' in R3, had the 'Nazgorian' descriptor removed in their name for R3 'new', and were just filed under other names: Digester Eelbat Frogman Gray Render Hydramander Spiderwolf So those monsters weren't removed...
