Faeries are the only new ones as far as i can see.
I don't think I would quite agree with these correlations.
Classifying them based on movement pattern:
Wall-followers: slimeys (turn to gems in glue), spiders (drop nine diamonds), warriors (turn around when you speak)
Circlers: Cryobird (grabs tools, activates things, swims), Firedrake (destroys things, goes through fire), Golems (leaves dirt behind), Sorcerers (conjure stuff)
Move until blocked: Skelwings (drop stuff), Poltergeists (I think)
Unpredictable: Faeries (drop stuff, turn to dirt in traps, swim)
Follow player: Seekers (also attracted to lights), Knights (follow footsteps?)
Back and forth: Demons
The skelwing-sorcerer correlation also works because they both insert any objects into the level, though in vastly different ways. A correlation between firedrake/demon or cryobird/demon can also work, since they destroy, activate, or push things, respectively.
I don't think the firedrake correlates to the golem very well, apart from the movement pattern.
