measure of pride that we at TSR bring you this second part of the new DUNGEONS&DRAGONS releases,the long-awaited MONSTER MANUAL for ADVANCED D&D.We are doubly proud of the formatof this book—i.e.,its special hard cover,a\"first\"in the gaming world and another step in our continuing quest fortop quality products.  \nAs time goes on,the D&D phenomenon shows no sign of subsiding—indeed,the popularity of DUNGEONS&DRAGONS continues to grow and grow.This trend is very gratifying to us ot TSR,and encourages us to devote evenmore time and attention to D&D(witness this series of ADVANCED DUNGEONS &DRAGONS)and related materials—playing aids,accessories,etc.Our aim is to provide a top-quality family of products for use with the DUNGEONS&DRAGONS game system,items that we hope you will find useful,innovative,and enjoyable.  \nWith the outstanding growth of DUNGEONS &DRAGONS has come the growth of TSR Hobbies,since it is nosecret that the fantastic response to D&Dhas allowed TSR to expand and explore many new directions in the gaminghobby.Therefore,we owe our thanks to you—the many devoted gamers—who have supported TSR through yourenthusiasm,your encouragement,and finally,your purchases.Our livelihood depends upon your continued support,and we intend to keep earning it by continuing to bring you innovative products in the future.We appreciate thewidespread audience that our games(and especially D&D)have achieved,and we look forward to increasing theexposure of our games and rules.Without such an enthusiastic and loyal following,this would not be possible.So,we thank youl  \nThe success of DUNGEONS &DRAGONS has spawned a considerable number of imitations and spin-off productsperhaps inevitably.Some of these have merit;many,however,do not—and although we may concede their right toexist(however dependent they may be on D &D's audience),we would caution the prospective buyer to considertheir true value and not to be confused with those items which bear the DUNGEONS &DRAGONS or ADVANCEDDUNGEONS &DRAGONS name and constitute the official D &D family of products.As for value,let the others bemeasured against the standard of quality we have striven for—a hardbound encyclopedia of monsters,for instance,as opposed to a low quality collection which is poorly assembled and bound.  \nThis present work,as will be apparent from its sheer bulk alone,is the result of a considerable amount of workand preparation by many persons.All this has been undertaken with an eye toward providing a final result whichcan be regarded as the definitive collection of monsters for ADVANCED DUNGEONS &DRAGONS—an encyclopediccollection of information certain to be of invaluable use to players and Dungeon Masters alike,complete with gamespecifications,background details and,in many cases,with an illustration in addition!Of course,no work can b","cbCaikQKa4Dmtxou","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikQKa4Dmtxou","pdf",25130729,114,"English","# Foreword\n# Alphabetical Table of
