RPG Item Rank:. Personal Comments:. Gygax certainly contributed a large number of the monsters in the book, including the celestials, legendary creatures, genies, elves, and fungi that he'd created for his Dragon column. Gygax's adventure module S4: "The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth" - which was virtually a mini- Monster Manual itself, with a full 17 pages of monsters - also provided Monster Manual II with a lot of material.

However, many more monsters were created by a variety of authors. Frank Mentzer is known to have created the minimals and the pseudo-undead, while Francois Marcela-Froideval created the basis of the modrons.

The two were often closely associated with Gygax on creative projects of this period. Design Consultant Jeff Grubb edited all the monsters and filled in missing bits; most notably he created some of the daemons and finished up the modrons - writing stats for the tridrone and both stats and descriptions for the quadrone and all the higher ranks.

These were of course by a variety of authors. At least one Dragon magazine author scored a contribution too, when Brian Jaeger's faerie dragon from Dragon 62 June was selected for the new book. A Redesigned Book. All of the previous hardcovers would be reprinted in the new trade dress thereafter - except Fiend Folio , which was reprinted for the last time around A Lawsuit Waiting to Happen.

Arneson filed David L. Arneson v. TSR Hobbies Inc. Arneson won his case in March on the admittedly suspect decision by the judge that the Monster Manual II was indeed a "revised edition" of the Monster Manual.

Expanding the Outer Planes. Monster Manual II is generally full of pretty high-level monsters. Many of them come from the Inner or Outer Planes, offering up one of the largest expansions of the Great Wheel ever. This included tons of new devils and demons, fleshing out Hell and the Abyss - though one demon, the Goristro, went missing and would be published instead in Dragon 91 November Daemons were also introduced as a coherent group, after some scattered mentions in the Fiend Folio.

The least successful new outer race was probably the demodands of Tarterus. They were derived from the deodands of Jack Vance's Dying Earth. Despite not being particularly popular, they've since appeared in the Monstrous Compendium Outer Planes Appendix and the 3e Fiend Folio On the other hand, the most successful outer races of the new book were likely the celestials and the modrons. The celestials are very scattered in Monster Manual II and definitely aren't called angels.

They appear under separate entries for devas, planetars, and solars. In later editions they'd be grouped as aasimon or as celestials. The Inner Planes also got a little attention with a set of para-elementals ice, smoke, magma, and ooze and one quasi-elemental lightning. The quasi-elemental planes were a newer concept, marking the overlapping of an elemental plane with either the positive or negative material plane. Gygax had explained this very recently in Dragon 73 May More New Monsters.

Monster Manual II also saw the introduction of the quickling and the entirely infamous tarrasque. An Irregular Game System. In Dragon 90 October Gygax had to print up a new list of monsters affected by the charm person spell that included the critters from Fiend Folio and Monster Manual II - because no one back in the '80s had thought to includes monster "types" in their descriptions.

About the Creators. At the same time that Gygax was writing new material for Dragon magazine, he was also preparing a number of supplements based upon his own Greyhawk campaign.
