Part I, Part III.
Note: The use of these monster subtables doesn't have to be limited to sandbox populating, and also work well with dungeons (depending on how much randomness you want to add). Also, you may want to use Raggi's amazing Random Esoteric Creature Generator instead of subtables II to IV (I don't have it, but I imagine it's a bit like that.)
