Editing Thri-kreen (section)

===3rd Edition===
The thri-kreen was printed at least five times in 3rd edition. It was first printed as an NPC race in the Monster Manual II, and a second time in Savage Species. Its stats were then tweaked for 3.5e and it was printed for a third time in the "Expanded [[Psionics]] Handbook", which was also the first time when it was given a PC stat block. The EPH version was subsequently reprinted in [[Dragon Magazine]] #319 with no notable changes. Its fourth and final printing was in the [[Forgotten Realms]] sourcebook "[[Shining South]]".
