Yeah, switching in special monsters makes for even more fun, as the Heroes won't know what threat they are facing. In the Chaos Sorcerer(s case, I'd designate the Gargoyle as his card in the Quest Notes. Better yet if you're so inclined, print out one of the cards from this thread
or make a new one using this image from the Gallery. The Inn's card template provides one way to do it.

That's spot on about adding in new cards--it lessens the frequency of an occurrence, which usually won't be desirable. For expansions such as the EQP, the thing to do is include the new cards and swap out a like number of Monster Cards from the Game System. Since Wandering Monsters vary from Quest to Quest within expansions, one must pay attention to have the correct Wandering Monster and it's color group Monster Cards present--then you're good to go.
