While that's a great cut-off point, Shade, there are a few entries from the MM2 that discuss Greyhawk-specific stuff, and for which previous publications don't exist (hence I'm not counting Valley Elves, for example, since they appeared in Dragon prior to MM2):

MM2 - Catlord (page 22; mentions his only known friend is the goddess Xan Yae)
MM2 - Dragonell (page 60; mentions that it's pretty much extinct except in the Pomarj area)
MM2 - Hordling (page 75; mentions the infamous Bringer of Doom artifact)

C3 The Lost Island of Castanamir
C4 To Find a King
C5 The Bane of Llywelyn
C6 The Official RPGA Tournament Handbook
FWIW, none of these modules were ever set in Greyhawk, they're generic RPGA adventures. Some of the monsters listed were also published first in the Fiend Folio (most of which were first published in White Dwarf before it became a house organ for GW).

Also, a general question, Shade: are you compiling a concordance of GH monster appearances (where you list ever time a monster appears, such as Kuo Toa in EX1), vs. a listing for when they were first published (which would be D2 for the Kuo Toa, of course)?

Some additions for you:

Dragon Magazine

Demonic Knights of Doom (Dragon 59)
Grugach and Valley Elves (Dragon 67)
Time Elemental (Dragon 69)
Obsidian Dragon (Dragon 146)
Snow Elves (Dragon 155)
Yak Men (Dragon 241)

I1 Dwellers of the Forbidden City
Yellow Mush Creeper
That's actually Yellow Musk Creeper

Quote:
I3 Pharoah
I4 Oasis of the White Palm
I5 Lost Tomb of Martek
I6 Ravenloft
I8 Ravager of Time
I10 Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill
These also weren't ever set in Greyhawk. I7 was adopted into Greyhawk, and I9 is semi-Greyhawk related, since the Cup and Talisman are GH artifacts (though the module itself isn't really set in GH, it can be set easily in Baklunish lands).

Quote:
UK4 When a Star Falls
UK5 Eye of the Serpent
UK6 All That Glitters
UK7 Dark Clouds Gather
IIRC, these weren't specifically set in GH either. The only one that I own is UK6, which was a rather under-rated adventure and I've used it several times for Suloise areas within the Sea of Dust
