[QUOTE="delericho, post: 4424915, member: 22424"] Little bits from here and there. Most monsters came from the Monster Manual, of course. However, I also pulled a number of encounters from the Fiend Folio, and I actually found the pre-advanced creatures in the much-maligned MMIV (and the somewhat less-maligned MMV) invaluable. I probably also used some creatures from MMII and MMIII. I made quite heavy use of the Tome of Horrors in a couple of campaigns (and expect to use it more heavily when running Pathfinder APs in future), and used the Book of Fiends heavily for one campaign. I never quite got to use Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary (I think that was it), but definately would have liked to - that book had a huge number of solid ideas. Finally, I did use several monsters from Sword & Sorcery's Creature Collections, although these always required conversion to the real D&D rules - the monsters had major balance problems without. I also made use of several monsters from the Manual of the Planes, Draconomicon, Libris Mortis, and Dragon magazine. I don't recall ever using a monster from an adventure, although I might have done so when running the adventure itself. I certainly never transplanted one to another adventure. Monster books were really one of those areas where there was no such thing as 'too many'. Most books had some or many monsters that could be used, and there tended not to be too much overlap.
