	'''Fiend Factory''' was an article series that ran in the early issues of ''[[White Dwarf]]'', starting January 1978 and ending January 1986. Those were the days when that magazine was devoted to all manner of RPG systems prior to [[Games Workshop]] founding its own multiverse of game systems and thus turfing out rivals to focus on their own product. The Fiend Factory was a series connected to [[Dungeons & Dragons]], and was a place where fan-submitted monsters would be edited and then printed for the perusal and interest of players and [[Dungeon Master]]s across the world. A surprising number of fan-favorite D&D monsters got their start here, and the [[splatbook]] "[[Fiend Folio]]" was actually intended to be something of a Greatest Hits Collection of submissions to ''White Dwarf'' generally. (Other monsters like the [[Skulk]] also appeared in this magazine, but outside the 'Factory.)
