==Monstrous Manual (AD&D 2E)== This was an odd duck in the series, because post-Gygax TSR got it into its head that we didn't ''need'' no stinkin' manual. Their rationale was that every setting should differ, and where an Athas might not have orcs (anymore) another locale might be like [[Talislanta]] and short on elves. Even if they did have something called an "elf" it will be setting-specific. So they released "Monstrous Compendium" sheafs, each monster to fill two sides of a page, which the DM could put into a binder or a Trapper Keeper or something. As usual, early 1990s TSR had failed to listen to their actual customers, [[Lorraine Williams|lost demon-worshipping souls as we are]]. It turns out that plenty of settings agree on the same basic monsters, or at least like to leaf through the pages for inspiration. So, kicking and screaming, in 1993 TSR released the Monstr''ous'' Manual. It followed the same monster-to-a-page format, so you could detach these ladies and fill your binders with them as the Prophets demand. (Note: This list might be incomplete or incorrect as it was based on an online list and not the actual Monstrous Manual, I've noticed some error s in the list and will have to check the actual manual to see if this all correct. Also this list doesn't have any of the monster that were released in later Monstrous Compendiums such as the one for Planescape.) <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> Click button to view list ---> <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> *[[Aarakocra]] *[[Aboleth]] *[[Ankheg]] *[[Arcane]] *[[Argos]]: A smarter version of the [[Gibbering Mouther]] from [[Spelljammer]]. *[[Aurumvorax]] *[[Baatezu]] **Pit Fiend **Black Abishai **Green Abishai **Red Abishai *[[Banshee]] *[[Basilisk]] **Lesser Basilisk **Greater Basilisk **[[Dracolisk]] *Bat **Common Bat **Large Bat **Huge Bat([[Mobat]]) **[[Azmyth]]: A intelligent bat with telepathy, magical abilities, and a long lifespan that may become your very best friend. **[[Night Hunter]]: A great big evil black bat. **[[Sinister]]: An even bigger evil black bat, but not as large as the mobat.
