The Monstrous Manual was a compendium of monster statistics published in various 2nd-edition sources.
This book contains more than 600 monsters, including all the creatures from the Monstrous Compendium Volumes 1 and 2! In addition, there are monsters from the other Monstrous Compendium Volumes, and some creatures never seen in the second edition AD&D Game before.
Entries have been reorganized, corrected, updated, and fully cross-referenced, to make this the most valuable monster reference ever!Index[]
