One Edition Monsters

[Dragonbait]

For a bunch of these you are correct when you say Mystara MC. I don't have it in front of me but I know the Mandragora, Vampire Rose, Wyrds, and Decapus were in there. I think the Oards might be in there too.

and lightning vampire, geonids, dispassionate watchers, and all the different colors of giant dragonflies.

There were a lot of monsters in the Strategic Review/early Dragon that I don't recall seeing elsewhere.

Yeah, hundreds and hundreds. This list contains all the ones that haven't yet been converted to 3rd edition (including unofficial conversions). If you expand the list to include only official sources, I'd estimate that there are about a thousand "one edition" monsters from Dragon magazine alone.

Holy crap.

[Joshua Randall]

Well, are you going to consider every minor variant of a base monster as its own thing?

So if there wasn an "orc dingelbat" in some obscure 2e book, than it would be a one-edition monster? Even though orcs have been in D&D since the beginning?
