Monster Manual II

[coyote6]

I think you all will be happy with the published version of Scott's Creature Catalog.
[...]
*Over 400 total monsters (thats right)
[...]
*Over 40 new monsters not even on Scott's site
*There will be NO overlap with the MM2. We are working with WotC and there wont be anything in ours that is in theirs, and vice versa.
*All original monsters from Necromancer Games products (about 20) will be there.

When and how much?

 

[Staffan]

Athach was an OD&D monster

It was also upgraded to 2e in the Mystara MC appendix. IMO, the Mystara MC appendix was the best such appendix released for 2e and they should have put every monster from it into the MM (instead of just the Athach and Nightshades).

 

[Zarrock God of Evil]

Athach was an OD&D monster and the Tomb Tapper was in Dragon #41.

The Tomb Tapper was reprinted in Netheril: Empire of Magic and the Monstrous Manual Annual series as well. It's an important monster in Faerûnian mythology...

If the tomb tapper is so important, how come I've never heard of it? How come I've played for decades and never missed having it in my games? Answer: It's not important. Orcs are important!
