Actually, I think this would work much better than using the "Mind Flayer"
specs in the SRD.  It doesn't help with other creatures that are private
WotC creations though.  It also leads to an interesting question:

What if I read the description for a Mind Flayer and decide it sounds JUST
LIKE something from an H. P. Lovecraft novel (based on the tentacles around
the mouth, high intelligence, and horrific mind-blowing mental powers).  I
certainly wouldn't be the first one to think it.  If I create an image based
on Cthulhu, perhaps adjusting the stats to fit the image or the image to fit
the stats, have I violated WotC's IP?
