Fine, i'll do it for you. Note the jungle scene, and the 'little things,' described as zombie-like halfings with vastly improved agility that attack anyone traversing that jungle. Note the 'pyramid' the 'little things' will not enter.

D&D is made up of rip offs from myths, legends, books and movies. It's hardly surprising that new content will come from more recent sources. That article is 4 and a half years old, by the way.

Oh, and the stained glass golem could be attributed to the stained glass knight in "Young Sherlock Holmes".

This thread makes me miss playing Magic: The Gathering.
