One yugoloth down, at least one to go (Mezzoloth)

Options
Arcanaloth (MM II) - looks like a Hound Archon in a dress, maybe
Canoloth (MM III update) - bulky quaruped, possible
Maraenoloth (MM II) - looks like a Skeletal Reaper, hope not
Nycaloth (MM III update) - if the Faction is LE won't fit between Mezzoloth and Pit Fiend
Piscoloth (FF) - ugly, hope not
Skeroloth (FF) - uglier, hope not
Ultroloth (MM III update) - maybe, but just a humanoid with a sword

Best guess: Canoloth, possibly also an Arcanaloth


Scrye says a creature from the Miniature Handbook

Options
Aspect of Asmodeus - fit with Blood War, maybe
Aspect of Mephistopheles - also fit with BW, maybe - tie to recent Dungeon mag
Aspect of Vecna - already a lich in the set, just a skel missing a hand
Equiceph - also serve as Equinal guardinal, maybe
Ghirrash - planar shadow creature, maybe
Kruthic, Adult or Greater - not likely
Phargion - the Destroyer Droid, I could use it, but not popular
Ramadeen - my preferred choice, lots of holes in LG/CG still - Yak folk proxy
Spark Lasher - ugly
Scaled Stalker - bulkier lizardman, not sure what its niche is

Best guess:  Ramadeen, with AoAsmo make a late showing in Unhallowed.

Called Shot: Against the Giants -- Aboleth
Called Shot: Demonweb - Large Whip Spider
Another Champion of the Aboleth

Fox head !!!

Gimme arcanadaemon anytime !!! (this set is already too good, how many cases will I buy if there is arcanadaemon and pseudodragon inside...)

I think it was said at GenCon that there is be more Aspects in the next 2 sets (Bloodwar and Unhollowed) but they wont be Archdevils or Demon Lords

As for a Yugoloths..Ultraloths may just look like uninspiring humanoids with swords...But they are the Top Dogs of Yugoloths. They are the Pit Fiends and Bolors of the 'loth world

Id actually like to see the 2 twisted freaky Yugoloths from the Fiend Folio the most. A Piscoloth looks like a lobster that stands upright with a Carrion Crawler's head...C'mon whats not to love?

Preview 1 also mentions an Eberron Unique in Blood War. The chances of a second lich queen seem slim, but Erendis d'Vol isn't out of the question. Lord of Blades is for sure not in this set, but for sure within the next two, IIRC.

For the MHB figure, the best fits thematically would be Mephisto or Asmodeus. If it's true that there are no Aspects in this set, then I'm going with my called shot, the Ghirrash, to round out the Shadow Beasts.

I vaguely remember Shoe teasing, maybe in one of the earliest Unhallowed called shot threads, that 'uhallowed' didn't simply refer to Undead, but to all things unholy, including something ultimately unholy. This would kind of hint at Asmodeus in UH, unless I'm misremembering or completely whacked.
