Here is yet another attempt at an index of previous edition monsters. As always, if we're missing anything, let us know.
This was BOZ's idea, and the information was contributed by a number of folks in this thread. I'm simply the "data entry" guy in this project.
Note that I did not include the core books of various editions (such as the Monster Manuals) where Greyhawk was considered the default setting. These are covered better in other indices.

For the life of me, I can't remember the source before it was printed in Dungeon #77 and the Monstrous Compendium Annual vol. 3, but I know the Suel Lich should be on this list too.

I9 contained no new monsters. that's why i left it blank on the other thread.
are you gonna include all the other 2edADnD adventures and sourcebooks i listed?

Note that I did not include the core books of various editions (such as the Monster Manuals) where Greyhawk was considered the default setting. These are covered better in other indices.
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)
Quote:
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)

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

grodog - i think shade repeated those here because diaglo mentioned them in the other thread. i don't think i have to remind you of the longstanding debate that some folk contend that all 1E material is essentially greyhawk first and foremost.
I9 contained no new monsters. that's why i left it blank on the other thread.
are you gonna include all the other 2edADnD adventures and sourcebooks i listed?
I updated I9 to state "no new monsters". I intentionally left of some of the sourcebooks that didn't contain true "monsters", like paladins and so on. However, I'm sure I missed some since the thread was so long. I'll look back through the thread, and please let me know if you notice any particular supplements I'm missing.

I can add these with a note that this was their first appearance.

If this is the case, I'll remove 'em.

Honestly, I was just attempting to compile everything in that thread and work from there. If something is clearly the first appearance, then we can eliminate the duplication. Since I don't have many of these sources, I don't know which appearances were first.

I'll leave those based on the logic that BOZ posted.

Heh, no, no need to open that can of worms. If you're working from this premise, then I would definitely include all of the C-series modules, too, Shade

Cool. I've got enough worms to deal with from the last can I opened.

For what it's worth, the article referenced there is an Al-Qadim "Campaign Classics" article on the Yak-men, with a section that describes the Yak-men in other campaigns; before that article, they were AQ-exclusive. It might be worth noting then that they were given stats elsewhere (either the AQ boxed set, or its MC appendix), since the article doesn't reprint them.
