Re: What monsters were cooler in the older editions?
Vampires.
In 2ed, there were entirely different statistics for vampires of different races (for example, dwarven vampires didn't care about sunlight or wooden stakes, couldn't shapeshift or cross a line of powdered metal, and could be defeated by sticking a stone spear through their hearts), and vampires gained powers as they aged, until a vampire who had been undead for at least a thousand years was only annoyed by sunlight, could telepathically dominate people who weren't meeting their gaze, and drained five levels on hit.
