Doing some more research on this, it looks like the Id Fiend form Dark Sun originally appeared in the Dark Sun AD&D 2nd Ed Monstrous Compendium Appendix.

Anyone know who created the monsters for that one?

Well... either it is a direct tribute to Blackmoor (and indirect tribute to the Forbidden Planet) or a direct tribute to the Forbidden Planet (that was where the Monster from the Id originally came from), by-passing Blackmoor...

Interesting. My very strong suspician is that Gygax created the Invisible Stalker based on the Id monster.
