[QUOTE="Messageboard Golem, post: 2009586, member: 18387"] With the first Creature Collection, we got an indepth look at a world that was forming before our eyes. With the second installment, we went one step further, both in execution, and in style. The cover art in Creature Collection 2 features a scaly approach along with the roman numeral II in red. The interior artwork is truly stunning, as it has some great pieces from the strange: Bloodmen, the macabre: Shackledeath, the just down right fearsome: Blade Demons. The book has in it approximate 200 monsters (I could sit here and count them out, but let's just say with 213 pages worth of monsters, that's good bit! :) While it's hard to single out a favorite, I would say the Pisceans and the Quicksilver Stalker rank very high in terms of my favorite types of Humaniods and Abberations. The book has three appendixes. One for the templates, Belsameth Spider, Blood Sea Mutant, Hex Creature, Conundrum Creature, and Hex Creature. The other two are for the Challenge Ratings and the Monster summoning table. I certainly found the CR listings illuminating since it used both the revised CRs from the errata for CC1 as well as the MM to be incorperated with that listing. The Summoning table is also nice if you want different monsters. My only main gripe is there is ONE little misprint and that's something I wish would get addressed. The Belsameth Spider has a CON score, even though it's supposed to be undead. But that's a minor issue compared to most everything else. The book is a wonderful addition to your Scarred Lands library, or if you just want more monsters in your campaign that are not in the Monster Manual or Monster Manual 2. [/QUOTE]
