[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 4990396, member: 1210"] No, not [i]first[/i] edition monsters... [i]one[/i] addition monsters. Monsters that have appeared in only one edition so far. What are they? Are any of them any good? Let's put together a list and find out! I'll keep a master list in this post, divided by edition. Here's what I can think of off the top of my head; if I am wrong about any of them, please correct me! If the name has changed but the monster remains the same, I'm going to consider them the same creature. If two monsters are similar but notably different and have different names, I won't consider them to the be the same. Finally, as to what sources I'll consider for this list- anything by TSR, WotC, Dragon/Dungeon or licensed projects (such as when 3rd parties did DL, RL, etc.).
