Lion's Den Press' The Iconic Bestiary: Classics of Fantasy presented the ei'risai as a substitute. They are chimerical patchwork creatures that carry a "pandemoniac corruption" that infects their victims and transforms them into more ei'risai. They were reprinted in Trick Owlbear Publishing's Forgotten Foes under the name chaosiic.

Fiery Dragon's Counter Collection: Gold - Ogdoad presents the ogdoad, who are similar to slaad but renamed and less violent. The senufio and xaoc are the same basic idea.
Daemoneye Publishing's Edition Pi presented the solumian, who are vaguely described as rainbow colors poured into a monster-shaped mold.
The Pathfinder Bestiary series presents the protean. They are chaos serpents, loosely based on the ogdoad or khmeniu of Egyptian mythology. They have been expanded in some third party products, like the "bladecypher protean" in Jon Brazer Enterprises' Book of Beasts: Legendary Foes.
Green Ronin's Book of Fiends introduced the qlippoth as a substitute for the obyrinths, but they cover the Lovecraft aesthetic. They were reprinted and expanded on in the Pathfinder Bestiary series and Jon Brazer Enterprises' Book of Beasts: Legendary Foes (introduces the seglar and serretaur).
13th Age Bestiary introduced the chaos beasts and elder beasts. They are distilled from a number of earlier edition monsters.
Mongoose Publishing's The Book of the Planes introduced the mâlites. They were recycled and expanded on by Purple Duck Games in their Porphyra setting.
Octavirate Games's Creature Weekly Volume 4 introduced the bosch fiend, which are technically fiends but could easily replace slaad. They are demons from the infamous surreal artwork of Hieronymus Bosch.
All of these feature in my setting. In my setting, the cosmological alignment system has been replaced with a Moorcockian chaos/order/harmony conflict. My conception of Chaos is based on Stormbringer and the works it inspired like Warhammer, Exalted and Hellraiser. The forces of chaos and order are engaged in an eternal tug-of-war to define the cosmos, with the forces of harmony trying to maintain the status quo that allows life to exist. More specifically, I adapted the Theology of Fumanor. More information may be read on the Campaign Mastery blog, but suffice to say, the Chaos Powers are the meta-origin behind aberrations, demons, the great old ones and various other things. This means that demons, slaad, and so forth are part of the same chaos alignment, but obviously they are not buddies since chaos is all about being diverse and nonconforming.

Book of the Planes also featured the Orodro, ever-shifting masses of black ooze, as the primary denizens of Tarassein.
