[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5010944, member: 1210"] Fiend Folio FTW! It's one of my favorite monster books to this day, despite having over-inked art. But there are a ton of awesome monsters in it, some of which have become classics and some of which haven't. It includes the slaadi, the githyanki and githzerai, flail snail, gibberlings, aaracockra, Drow, the Elemental Princes of Evil, the retriever, etc. etc. The MM2 is good too, but it has a certain number of "meh" monsters in it (pseudo undead, pedipalps, valley elves, etc). The losers in the FF are just damn weird (protein polymorph? tirapheg? WTF??), but their weirdness makes 'em cooler. Plus, the FF has oodles of great encounter charts in the back- the kind of encounter charts that d&d has never seen since. Damn fine, those charts. And it has the most gruesome monster ever (the penanggallan (sp?)). Go with the Fiend Folio. [/QUOTE]
