Also, it's fun to make a mistake and be corrected three times.
I believe there is a word to describe that mindset...
Sarcastic? Passive-Aggressive?

I don't think I'm done with the fruits of your research.
Release 11 covers FG2 through Pipe Beast. Here are a few monsters of note.
Amarok name is from Inuit mythology. There's a similar monster here:

There are Quill Bears in Diablo II.
The Cthaeh is featured in The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfus published 2007-2014.
Lagoon Creature is admittedly modeled on The Creature from the Black Lagoon, though I doubt use here treads on any copyright that movie holds. I found a short story called "From Cabinet 34, Drawer 6" by Caitlin R. Kiernan from 2005 that explicitly combines CftBL with Lovecraft deep ones.
BECMI immortals rules has a diabolus monster, but it's mechanically different.
Dufflepuds are from Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952).
The following monsters share names with monsters from various video games: Gold Slime, Crystal Golem, Gold Golem, Grawl, Dread Horseman, Shadow Fiend, Moonlight Butterfly. In all cases, the description of the monster is only vaguely similar.
Pathfinder has lead golems. I don't have the relevant text, but would assume it uses OGL.
Necromancer Games has a rope golem.
A tin golem appeared in Dragon Magazine 341.
There's a hellsteed (no space) in Warhammer.
Hezrou appears to be an 1e original. It is in the 5.1 SRD.
Al-Qadim uses the name janni for a type of genie that's not an exact match.
Orog is a 2e original and not in the 5.1 SRD. It's a rename of Uruk-Hai.
