The Monstrous Compendium Annual Volume Two is a 2^nd-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons accessory.

“

Back again, and better than ever! Virtually all the new AD&D game monsters that were published by TSR in 1994 have growled, burrowed, and slithered their way into this second release in a yearly series of MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM supplements.

More than 100 denizens of the land, sky, sea, and... other places... are collected inside. Most of these creatures originally appeared in a specific AD&D campaign setting, but they've been updated and edited so they can be used in any campaign. This year's collection also features the return of the long out-of-print dinosaurs and pleistocene creatures, and includes general encounter tables for the MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM books.

This richly illustrated book is an essential addition to every Dungeon Master's library.

Description

Monstrous Compendium Annual Volume Two serves as a supplement to the AD&D game, providing an extensive collection of monsters that were previously published in various 1994 Advanced Dungeons & Dragons modules, as well as Dungeon and Dragon.

The structure of the Monstrous Compendium Annual Volume Two adheres to the format established by earlier Monstrous Compendium supplements. It features detailed entries for each monster, including physical descriptions, behaviors, combat tactics, and statistics necessary for gameplay. These entries are designed to be easily integrated into the existing binder system of the Monstrous Compendium series, allowing for a customizable and expansive monster reference library.

In addition to monster descriptions, the Monstrous Compendium Annual Volume Two provides lore and background information for each creature, offering insights into their habitats, societies, and roles within the AD&D world.
