Monsters from old issues of Dragon

[BOZ]

Just to generate ideas for what monsters to convert in our "1E monsters from Dragon" thread, here are some stats and descriptions to look at. this thread probably won't last long so if you want this stuff, print it or save it! while you're here looking, go and mention anything you see that you really like in this thread.

for starters, here are the creatures from the three Creature Catalog articles. since the section from #89 was absent from the CD-Rom, i have taken some JPGs from a PDF that someone once made for me. articles for II and III were on the CD, so i just cut and paste. i did not format the text, so it's not pretty to look at, but it gets the job done.

i also copied out some monsters from old Dragon's Bestiary articles, but apparently that docuement is only at work and not at home, so you will see that on monday.

more critters from Creature Catalog I, Dragon #89...

for the rest of these, i had to change the image resolution because the file size was too big. i hope they are still legible...

and the last four from that article, also at a smaller resolution...

and finally, the creatures from Creature Catalog II and Creature Catalog III.

early Dragon's Bestiary

from Dragon issues 26-61, this column made numerous appearances, though it dropped off the map again until issue 116.

There are many overlooked, forgotten creatures that appeared in these issues from 1979-1982, and although a few appeared in later AD&D works, most did not. A few of them have appeared in our Creature Catalog, and more still shall!

This document contains the stats of many of these creatures. I have not formatted the text, but I will do so for any creatures we actually convert.

Ahh, the explodestool. One of the best "play on words" monster names ever!
