This is the list of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters, an important element of that role-playing game.^[1][2][3] This list only includes monsters from official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition supplements published by TSR, Inc. or Wizards of the Coast, not licensed or unlicensed third party products such as video games or unlicensed Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition manuals.

Monsters in the 2nd edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons[]

The second edition of the Dungeons & Dragons game featured both a higher number of books of monsters^[4] and more extensive monster descriptions than earlier^[1] and later editions, with usually one page in length.^{[5][6][7][8][9]: 106–107} Next to a description, monster entries in this edition contained standardized sections covering combat, their habit and society, and their role in the eco-system.^[5][6][10]

2nd edition also used a unique format in the form of Monstrous Compendiums of loose sheets that could be collected in a folder, and allowed the combination of monster books together with individual monster pages from boxed sets.^{[5][9]: 106–107 [1]} This format was abandoned again in 1993 in favor of bound books.^[6][11] In parallel with this change, 2nd edition introduced colored images for each monster, which became standard in later editions of the game.^[6][8][12] Referencing Wizards of the Coast art director Dawn Murin, GameSpy author Allan Rausch found that until the 2nd edition the artwork depicting monsters was influenced by the popular culture of the late 1970s. As a result, creatures that were fearsome by description were not taken seriously due to ill-suited visuals. Likewise, humanoid monsters too closely resembled humans to be compelling. In Rausch's view the Planescape setting marked a turning point for these shortcomings, which also had a significant impact on the presentation of the 3rd edition.^[13]

Monsters created for the 2nd edition were based on mythologies of various cultures, fantasy literature, and original inventions.^[1] They were often updated from earlier editions. 2nd edition also introduced a great number of new creatures.^[6][7]

Some types, such as devils and demons, were initially removed by TSR in response to a moral panic promoted by Patricia Pulling's advocacy group Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons (BADD).^[14][15][16] These were later reintroduced, sometimes with different names, to avoid complaints.^[17][18]

TSR 2102 – MC1 – Monstrous Compendium Volume One (1989)[]

hideTSR 2102 – MC1 – Monstrous Compendium Volume One (1989) – ISBN 0-88038-738-6
This was the initial volume in the Monstrous Compendium series, for the second edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game, published in 1989. Most of the monsters for Volume One were taken from previous first edition AD&D books; the monster entries were greatly expanded and in most cases each monster now filled an entire page and had an all-new illustration. The Monstrous Compendium series consisted of a pack of 5-hole punched loose-leaf pages rather than an actual book, designed to be arranged to the player's preference. Volume One of the Monstrous Compendium was packaged in a box, which contained the pack of monster sheets as well as a binder intended to store the sheets for Volumes One, Two, and Three. The pack consisted of 144 pages, unnumbered, and included a "How To Use This Book" page, with an alphabetical index to Volume One on the back, four pages of monster summoning and random encounter charts, and a blank monster sheet to be photocopied, with the remainder consisting of the monster descriptions. Also included were eight full-page illustrations on heavier card stock. Note: All monsters from MC1 appeared in the Monstrous Manual (1993), though some had slightly altered headings.

Forest assumed them to be inspired from but not resembling the gnoles conceived by Lord Dunsany,[1] while Gary Gygax himself stated that although Dunsany's "gnole" is close", he came up with the name as "a cross between a gnome and a troll", and the description was his original creation.

Creature of enormous powers, where only the skull remains.[41] Ranked strongest among Screen Rant's "10 Most Powerful (And 10 Weakest) Monsters, Ranked", saying "You might think that a floating skull would be easy to smash to pieces, but you would be wrong, as demiliches are some of the most resilient creatures in the game."[42]
Lizard		Fire, Giant, Minotaur and Subterranean lizards
Lizard man	Greyhawk, Monster Manual (1977), Fiend Folio (1981), Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set, Dungeons & Dragons Game, Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia (1991), Classic Dungeons & Dragons Game (1994), Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game (1999), Hollow World Campaign Set, Monstrous Manual, Dragonlance Monstrous Compendium, , The Complete Book of Humanoids, Player's Option: Skills & Powers, Mind Lords of the Last Sea, Polyhedron No. 121 (1996), Monster Manual (2000), Races of Faerûn, Monster Manual (2003), Dragon No. 318 (2004), Serpent Kingdoms, Eberron Campaign Setting, Monster Manual III (2004), Dragon No. 335 (2005), Monster Manual IV (2006), Monster Manual (2008), Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale, Monster Manual (2014), Volo's Guide to Monsters	Lizard Man, Lizard King	Lizardfolk are primitive reptilian humanoids typically standing from six to seven feet tall.

Depiction of the werewolf is related to those in 1930s and 1940s Hollywood movies like The Wolf Man.[1] Ranked sixth among the ten best low-level monsters by the authors of Dungeons & Dragons For Dummies: "a classic monster", interesting due to shapechanging because "players can never be entirely sure whether that surly villager might indeed be the great black wolf who attacked their characters out in the forest."[46]
Manticore
Medusa		Normal and Greater	Based on the creature from classical sources[1][3] but translated into species of monsters[22][26] originated from "humans seeking eternal youth".[24] Reviewer Allan Rausch found their portrayal as "a woman with snakes for hair" up to 2nd edition less compelling than their less human-like depiction in 3rd edition.[13]

Oozes/slimes/jellies		Ochre Jelly, Gray Ooze, Crystal Ooze, Gelatinous cube and Green Slime	"D&D's large variety of monstrous oozes and slimes took their original inspiration form Irvin S. Yeathworth Jr's The Blob" movie. In the artificial dungeon environment of the game, they function as a "clean up crew". The gelatinous cube was considered especially suited for that role, fitting exactly in the standard grid for tactical combat, and called an "iconic monster".[1]
Orc		Orc and Orog	Directly adapted from the orc in J.R.R. Tolkien's works.[1] Considered one of the "five main "humanoid" races" in AD&D by Paul Karczag and Lawrence Schick.[9]: 92  Presented as "evil" and "savage raiders" in the game.[21]: 48, 95

The Monstrous Manual was printed after the completion of the loose-leaf Monstrous Compendium series, in 1993. This book was "created in response to the many requests to gather monsters into a single, durable volume which would be convenient to carry." The Monstrous Manual compiled all of the monsters from Monstrous Compendium Volumes One and Two, as well as many creatures from subsequent volumes, and revised and updated the entries; however, some entries were condensed from previous Monstrous Compendium entries. The book is 384 pages.

This 96-page soft-bound book contains creatures appearing in various TSR publications (magazines, game accessories, etc.). Unlike the previous annuals, the included monsters are not primarily drawn from the previous year's publications, but span a wide variety of years, possibly because TSR's financial woes resulted in very few products being produced in 1997. Also in a departure from the first three annuals, Volume Four includes a reference to the original appearance of the creature on each page. The Annual also contains a 3-page "How to Use This Book" section, which includes updated tables for the calculation of experience points awarded for defeating various creatures, and a 2-page index.

This 128-page soft-bound book is a reprint of the loose-leaf Monstrous Compendium appendices MC10 and MC15 (Children of the Night), both designed for use with the Ravenloft campaign setting for the second edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game with a new foreword. It also includes a two-page "How to use this book" section, revised rules for calculating experience points and two pages about encounters in Ravenloft. Appendix I consists of the descriptions of the fictional monsters. Appendix II varies the Monstrous Compendium format to describe individuals of already published monster races and includes a two-page introduction with a list of monsters from other sources suitable for the Ravenloft setting. Luis Javier Flores Arvizu named the continuous presence of supernatural beings as one of the factors that made Ravenloft a very well received role-playing game setting during the 33 years of its existence.[27]

It contained a table of contents, a 10-page introduction with an explanation of the monster statistics and special rules for the Shadow World, descriptions of the fictional monsters which included tips for their use in a roleplaying campaign, two roleplaying adventures and a 4-page appendix listing monsters from other sources fitting into the Shadow World.
