A couple ressources :

for lenses.

for a full "monster building without forgetting anything checklist and advices", and nice random tables.

http://panoptesv.com/RPGs/animalia/animalia.html is also nice for generic beast (and nothing stop you from taking one, removing a couple disads like horizontal and wild animal, then add a couple of Mailanka lenses at random and you have a new tribe of opponents...)

with Excel, you can semi-automate the process to generate a lot of critter fast !
