[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 8618028, member: 6921294"] If you're making these lists for a 2E Planescape campaign that is possibly going to other material planes my opinion is that theoretically just about any creature could be found anywhere. With planar travel, Spelljamming, summoning spells, (within reason and a little thought) I think you can justify quite a bit. It would probably be more rewarding for players to keep them on their toes with the unexpected. Just because orcs aren't traditionally found on or native to Krynn doesnt mean a tribe couldn't have made their way there for example. I'd create the list by terrain rather than campaign setting. The only restriction I can think of is if creatures are only found in wildspace, the phlogiston, or specific planes, and even then theres always gates, portals and pools that could solve that. If you have access to the old loose leaf MCs they had monster tables in the back of them by setting/terrain. Some of the MC Annuals had the campaign settings listed for the entries. And I think the 3 Planescape MCs had a pretty extensive & comprehensive monster list, if not in all 3 then I think it may have been the 3rd one. If youre planning on using this for 5E I think you'll find alot of monsters missing.
