I really enjoyed the "Ecology of..." series in the classic era of Dragon Magazine. It made common - or even rare - creatures more than just a set of stats to kill or be killed by.
Today's Deal of the Day, BX Advanced Bestiary, Vol 1, appears to do that and more for a selection of creatures from the Old School Essentials Basic Book. I liked what I saw in the free preview and picked up a copy. Peek at the preview and see if the BX Advanced Bestiary, Vol 1, would fit your campaign.
Volume 1 of the BX Advanced Bestiary takes the monster entries A-D from the OSE Basic book and expands them with options, added details, use for monster parts, additional monsters, and playable classes based upon the same theme. A sample preview of the book can be foundhere. Each entry is illustrated.
It includes rules for monster and animal training, several new race-as-class options (advanced cave locust, changeling, cyclopskin, dragonborn, and genasi), as well tables showing the monsters organized by HD, terrain, and type.
