So any thoughts on a king toad stats? (fought after smaller sized Giant Frogs).

Ghouls, giants leeches? and fire beetles and  hill giant?

Currently working on some Giant Toad rules, I'll post them when I'm done

As for Ghouls, do you want D&D or WFRP style Ghouls?
basic ghoul stats would be something like ...

Move: 6
Attack: 2
Defend: 2
Body: 1
Mind: 1

In D&D Ghouls cause paralysis which can be handled like so:
Paralysis: if a Ghoul makes a successful attack (causes at least 1 body point of damage) the victim must roll 1D6 on a roll of 1-3 the victim is paralysed and cannot do anything at all for 1 turn

In WFRP a Ghoul's attack has a chance of infecting it's victim with Grave Rot, which is quite complicated but can be handled by adapting my Poison rules a little  
Grave Rot: if a Ghoul makes a successful attack (causes at least 1 body point of damage) the victim must roll 1D6 on the roll of a 1 the victim has contracted Grave Rot from the attack, at the beginning of their turn the victim must roll 2 Combat Dice and take 1 point of un-defensible damage for each Skull rolled, this will continue each turn until the victim uses a Potion of Restoration or dies

note also that in D&D Ghouls count as Undead where as in Warhammer they are counted as living creatures, it's important to decide which your ghouls are going to be for the purposes of effects of Magic Weapons and Certain spells which undead creatures might be immune to or be especially effected by

I've got nothing on Giant Leeches or Fire Beetles for you at the moment

I've converted the Giant from DragonStrike to the basic HeroQuest rules although the stats may be a little weak for the OtherWorld Hill Giant miniature

++Giant++
Move: 10
Attack: 5 or Ranged 4*
Defend: 5
Body: 6
Mind: 2

*the Ranged attack represents the Giant Throwing a huge rock and has a maximum range of 6 squares
