While almost everything was potentially there in some weird domain or other, there were very few conventional d&d monsters at all. I think there was two dragons in the entire line ever, I don’t remember any gnolls, there were no genies ever to the best of my knowledge, only one celestial, and absolute zip miscellaneous extraplanar creatures like slaad, phoenixes, modrons, etc etc. Orcs were almost unknown, and goblins largely restricted to one domain (though another domain had goblyns which were different). And it wasn’t just monsters - there were very very few nonhumans in the setting either. Which led to weird outcomes, because the books always allowed PCs to be any of the standard races, but there was almost no (for instance) dwarf settlements or towns in the setting for your dwarf pc to come from.</p></blockquote><p></p>
