==2nd Edition== 2rd Edition's version of the Fiend Folio was the 14th volume of the [[Monstrous Compendium]] series. A lot of monsters from the previous Fiend Folio returned with expanded and revised fluff. The artwork in this book is also a lot better so a lot of (but certainly not all of) the dumb looking monsters are less so. For some reason, the artwork of several of the monsters are not consistent with their descriptions, such as the volt, which is described the same way as in the previous edition, but the picture looks completely different. <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> Click button to view list ---> <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> * [[Slime|Aballin]] * [[Achaierai]], still stupid looking. * [[Adherer]] * [[Algoid]], definitely looks a lot cooler now. ** Purple Algoid, a new variant that lives in arctic areas. Instead of controlling trees they can talk to crustaceans. * [[Al-mi'raj]], now has the ability to teleport short distances. * [[Apparition]] * [[Caterwaul]] * [[Crabfolk|Crabman]] * [[Coffer Corpse]], the artwork is a huge improvement. * [[Dark Creeper]] * [[Dark Stalker]], for some reason he appears to be dressed as a superhero. * [[Darter]], a blood drinking lizard that can fire it fangs as darts that cause paralysis. * [[Denzelian]] * [[Gem Dragon]] ** Amethyst dragon ** Crystal dragon ** Emerald dragon ** Sapphire dragon ** Topaz dragon * [[Dune Stalker]], now has a more reptilian appearance. * [[Fire Falcon]], a bird that can fire explosive spheres from its wings. * [[Faux Fairy]], a fairy creature that lives to cause confusion through lies and tricks. They can copy the appearance of any kind of [[fairy]] creature. They completely immune to all spells. Whenever they are hit by a spell, they absorb the spell and store it. When they no longer have room to store spells, casting a spell at them will cause them to release one of the previously stored spells at the caster to make room. At night they merge with a piece of dead wood. Burning the piece of wood will cause the spells they have stored to release, and cutting it up will cause only some of the stored spells to release and make the faux fairy split in into two faux fairies. * [[Firedrake]] * [[Flawder]], intelligent neutral good sea snails. * [[Fyrefly]], a insect that reproduces in fires. A adult fyrefly normally is harmless but when it is ready to reproduce, it will fly into a fire and rapidly divide into a swarm of up to 64 extremely aggressing flaming insects. Luckily the swarm only lasts for ten rounds of combat before the flies go dormant and change into adults. * [[Gambado]] * [[Garbug]], the two different types are now the male and female of the same species. Oddly, it is the blood drinking black garbug that is that male, while in real life, blood drinking insects like mosquitos usually are females. Females, but not males, can be trained as guard animals. ** Black garbug ** Violet garbug * [[Fog Giant]] * [[Gibberling]], now with a more canine appearance. * [[Gorbel]] * [[Grimlock]] * [[Hellcat]] * [[Ice Lizard]] * [[Iron Cobra]] * [[Khargra]] * [[Mantari]], its stinger tail works differently now. It now has a venom that causes temporary strength and dexterity loss. * Great Mantari, a larger variant. * [[Mephit]] ** Fire Mephit ** Ice Mephit ** Lava Mephit ** Mist Mephit ** Smoke Mephit ** Steam Mephit * [[Penanggalan]] * [[Pernicon]] * [[Phantom Stalker]] * [[Quaggoth]] * [[Retriever]] * [[Ruve]], an intelligent dog with psionic powers. Although they are lawful good, they are extremely arrogant and obnoxious. * [[Scathe]], an ugly white reptilian humanoids\ related to the [[harrier]], that lives in icy regions. They have poisonous beaks and are immune to cold. * Scathe Larva, identical to harrier larva. * [[Sheet Ghoul]], it now sprays acid from the mouth instead of the nose. Probably an attempt to make it less silly. * [[Sheet Phantom]], no longer has a face. Probably an improvement. * [[Shocker]], completely redesigned. It now looks like a suit of armor crackling with electricity and it no longer crumbles into dust after its first attack. Now confirmed to be an elemental from the Plane of Lightning. * [[Spanner]], [[Gotcha Monster|an intelligent living stone bridge]] that can talk and likes to gossip. It will drop you if you make it mad or try to cross it without permission. This should be fun for the DM to roleplay. * [[Stwinger]], a tiny humanoid with short wings whose favorite activity is swinging around using peoples hair or beards until they fall unconscious from the pain of their hair or beards being pulled on. They produce a pheremone that charms victims into letting them do this and even if they fail the stwinger is difficult to attack because of how cute it is. * [[Sussurus]], now redesigned into a plant monster related to the [[shambling mound]] made of bamboo. The song they produce now affects both the living and the undead. * [[Slime|Symbiotic Jelly]] * [[Terithran]], now it attacks spellcasters because it likes to eat them, rather than wanting to punish them for disturbing the ethereal plane. * [[Thunder Children]], black humanoids that come out during thunderstorms to feed on people's fear. Their bites inflict electric damage and they can cast several spells, sense fear, and turn into a gaseous form. They like to scare people do death by sneakily doing things to increase the victims fear of the storm. The plane of [[Ravenloft]] is a paradise for them. * Ice [[Troll]] * [[Tween]], it now looks like a short ugly humanoid while on the ethereal plane and it can fight with weapons but only against other things on the ethereal plane. * [[Umpleby]] * [[Urdunnir]], a relative of the [[dwarf]] that has the ability to pass through stone and can innately cast ''stone shape'' and ''shape metal''. They can kill people by dragging them into stone using their special ability and then leaving them behind. * [[Volt]] * [[Xill]] * [[Xvart]] * [[Zygraat]], yet another bird monster with extra legs. This one is actually part spider. It can make webs and has a venomous bite. </div></div>
