Replying to @St_Rev
REALLY !?!? This explains a mystery I've carried with me for ~40 years. * c. 1978 or so I bought some cheap plastic toys at a toy store * c. 1983 or so I got into D&D and noticed that "rust monster" was identical to one of the toys ...and had no idea how that might be.

When I was unpacking books I came across a printout of my original article! I tucked it into my copy of the issue (#117) that it was run in.
