I just found a web preview of Bestiary of Krynn that contains the Venom 
Draconian (a type of good draconian created from a black dragon egg):

http://www.dragonlance.com/products/enhancements/10000.aspx

They look really good. I'll have to get this book at some point. (Although I 
think the "Revised" version is the one to go for.)

"SJR7 Krynnspace" just doesn't contain enough monsters and races by itself. 
I think we should sprinkle these Bestiary of Krynn monsters across 
Krynnspace. Although I think we should also intermingle them with DLCS, 
Spelljammer, MM/SRD monsters (as well as anything we can borrow from 
Dragonlance Nexus), so that people who haven't got this book can still play 
with Krynnspace (and Reorxspace and Takhisispace). (i.e. DMs can ignore the 
monsters that they don't have or replace them with something similar.)

I'm sure we can work out valid reasons for most Dragonlance races and 
monsters to be on one of Krynnspace's other planets.

The extraplanar monsters ones can obviously go anywhere within Krynnspace 
(or Reorxspace & Takhisispace), although most would probably avoid wildspace 
itself.

Most humanoids and monstrous humanoids can become spacefarers (or even be 
kidnapped by the mind flayers or neogi). That gives us an excuse for 
colonies some of which may have formed a long time ago and could have new 
cultures. Shadowpeople would work well as underground dwellers on the 
Stellar Islands.

The undead (like Death Knights) can probably be "created" anywhere within 
Krynnspace. I'm sure we can think of SJ scenarios where these undead would 
be brought into existence. A death knight captain, flying a ship crewed by 
undead, would be a great.

This leaves ordinary monsters and creatures. Many of these would fit in well 
on the other planets. I think we should use them anyway, even if we can't 
think of another explanation we could always say that the gods put them 
there when Krynnspace was formed.
