New update, on the blog, about the likelyhood of various monster girls.
Arache, Driders, etc.: I have a theory: Anyone who thinks that spider/girl hybrids are hot were actually born on Antarctica and have never seen an actual spider. Like, god damn. They're literally the single most alien, horrific things ever and some guys want to put their dicks in one, as long as it has tits. I mean, look:
Aranea are monsters in D&D. Basically, they are giant spiders that can shapeshift. And there are totally existing aranea who decided to spend some of their time as

. I think that one wore a mask to hide her freaky teeth or something. Still, that probably isn't a "monster girl" in the sense used here, since it's a full monster that assumes human guise.
Overall, though, I don't think I'd want to invite someone into the party if their primary diet was liquefied flesh. Yeck.
Classic Elementals: Elementals were in the "no" zone for awhile. Slyphs and Nereids are covered by the Monster Girl Encyclopedia already, so there's not much to say there except that they can be hot. It's also not hard to think of a sexy fire elemental without it being a salamander or dragon or whatever.
The problem arises because you need the complete set. I want to put a set of classic sexy elementals in Harem Collector. However, the question is how to do a cute earth elemental, without being lazy doing the "plants = earth" thing. Dirt and rocks, however, aren't terribly sexy. Or even feminine.

... I think RPGmaker includes a fire nymph and an undine, don't remember for sure but there might be an oread or something as well.
Dragons: Dragons will play a large role in Harem Collector, but I don't know how likely they are to show up as sexy girl dragons. If I feel like it, one or two might show up in later installments of the series, but it's not a priority.
If dragons are good at magic, then they can probably just shapeshift, yeah? Maybe some of them assume a humanoid form that is still designed to inspire awe in their kobold servitors. Actually, that might lend itself to a pretty funny plotline. Remember the Norse god Loki? He came up with a Brilliant Plan to sabotage a rival by polymorphing himself and seducing away their magic horse. But then he spent too long in that form, got pregnant, and had to wait until he gave birth to Sleipnir to shift back. If dragons start keeping an eye on the hero, and there's one in the home base, that might explain why it doesn't pwn invaders singlehandedly.
Dullahan: I don't see the appeal in having sex with a headless girl. So, no. Which is too bad, I can't imagine it would that hard to implement in 3DCG given the number of guro mods
Yeah, I can see that. They're pretty great for comedy, though! I played a dullahan a few years back, and he was always losing his head or hiding bizarre things in his helm.
Ghost: I've said there will be a ghost girl in the game at some point, and that point is soon.
Sweeeet. I hope there are spooky puns involved.
Golem: Depending on what part of "golem" is important to you, there may already be something in the works to satisfy you. There will be "artificially creature girls that you can also fuck" but I don't know about anything more true to the actual golem legend, or the Monster Girl Encyclopedia version.
I've seen some interpretations of the golem myth where the actual mind of the creature is just the magical words that give the body life. So you can swap out bodies by moving the little scrolls or rune tablets between heads. There's also the story of Galatea, though some interpretations have her as basically a normal person after coming to life. But uploading your mind to a war-automaton is more of an NPC boss monster thing. And Galatea's themes don't really mesh well with the kind of story HC has going on.
Lamia, Snake-girls, etc: Even as I was about to say "not likely", Nekochan is standing over my shoulder talking about how awesome Bleu was in the Breath of Fire series. She's nagged me into including stuff before, so I won't say "never".
Yuan-ti are established D&D monsters with a sliding scale of snakiness depending on their caste. They even have a thing where they use humans in their breeding programs, and abduct people to feed them mutagenic potions.
Bleu
was awesome. She also spent a lot of time polymorphed to look like a normal human in BoF2, since I seem to be making a note of that.
Like-Like: It might be funny to have this girl, who is just a naked girl with a mouthful of weird teeth and the disturbing shade of pink skin, that just hangs around in a dungeon nomming on shields all day. Maybe she can block a door, and you have to give her a shield to proceed, and if you didn't bring one extra, oops, sorry Therese.
Ha! So it really just eats shields? That's great.
Mimics: The concept of opening a treasure chest with a girl inside and having sex with her amuses me (You received "Sexy Time"!), but that's probably not the same thing.
I think I saw a D&D mimic that disguised itself as a bed once. It came right after the classic room where the floor, walls, and ceiling were all different hostile monsters, so nobody fell for it. I wonder if it was inspired by the bed hands in Phantasmagoria?
There was also a story I read somewhere that had a mimic as a demon of Greed. She was bound to stay in a chest (though she could come most of the way out and hop around), could destroy money to power her magic, and ate gold.
Modrons, Drelb, Thought-Eaters, Wolf-in-Sheep's-Clothing, etc.: Noah Moshing's recipe for comedy: Take one (1) obscure D&D monster. Turn into cute girl as parody of the whole monster girl encyclopedia thing. Serve while hot.
...
Owlbear: I promise you there will be an owlbear girl, but only because it'll be funny.

Vampires: Kind of in a weird place right now, actually. MagicWhiteLady and I both want to use vampires in our games, but we've yet to sit down and actually figure out what canon vampirism is. So, yes, it will happen, in what form though? Read and find out.
I think there was a vampire in the last Fairy Side demo I played. But not much was said about the specifics of his powerset. There's a lot of variance in vampire mythology, so I can't say much beyond the fact that mistforms are incredibly abusable and I hope we don't meet one of the flying head-and-guts variety.
If I did an animal-themed sexy monster, I'd probably go with a rakshasa of some kind. Not strictly the D&D variety, since I don't think that kind of nigh-indestructibility would be good on a PC. Then again, a classic D&D rakshasa
could make a pretty interesting rival to the hero later on.

If it was just Were-___ in general, I'd go for comedy. A dwarven outcast who turns into a carp or elephant under the light of the full moon!
Yuki-Onna: Very high. Very, very likely to happen. It might not be a legitimate "ghost" but more "cute ice fairy or spirit or something" though.
Nice, I always though the way Yuki-Onna have been adapted into some modern fiction was pretty... cool. I remember Oriental Adventures did a thing where some were nice and others were hostile. They could serve as guides through blizzards or curse you to become so lost that you couldn't find your way out of a closet without help. And in general, ice magic can be used for pretty interesting stuff.
Maybe she can make animate snowmen as minions. Favored gifts might include coal and carrots, haha.
