Where are your non-MM monsters from?

[the Jester]

Inspired by Alsih2o's poll: when you use a monster that isn't from the MM, where is it most likely to be from?

 

[Crothian]

For non MM monsters they can come from anyplace. I use the MM to fill in the basics, and I use all the others when I'm looking for something a bit more exotic and specific. I think in my las tcampaign I used creatures from a good dozen or so differnet sources.

edit: I have used every source you have listed there plus but not limited to:

Book of Fiends
Dangerious Denezins
Beastiary of Krynn
Fantasy Bestiary
Liber Bestarius
Twisted Lore
Draconic Lore
Nightmares and Dreams
Nightmares and Dreams 2
Dragon Magizine (really suprised this wasn't in your list)

Let's see... in the Eberron game that just ended, if a monster wasn't in the MM, it was probably from the MMIII or the Eberron campaign setting (like dolgrims, for example), although I did use the Fiend Folio and Tome of Horrors II a few times, and even the Advanced Bestiary once (war machine skum nearly resulted in a TPK of 5 6th level players, although it was CR 7. Thanks, Advanced Bestiary!).

In my upcoming Planescape game, I think I'll be seeing a lot more use out of Fiend Folio than MMIII, and a lot of use from the wonderful conversions of monsters I've found on the web (like Pants' fiends project).

Demiurge out.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

All of the above. Though Fiend Folio, MM3, and ToH get the most use beyond the core MM

 

[MonsterMash]

ToH, ToHII and Seas of Blood.

Monstronomicon is some serious goodness. Denizens of Avadnu gets some coverage in my game as well, especially with the party fighter riding around on a Shard Droth'yar.

 

[VirgilCaine]

They would be from the Creature Catalog most likely. Duh. I couldn't live without such a great resource of old monsters.

 

[Darkness]

Mostly setting-specific sources.

 

[Nifft]

BoVD and MotP are two of my favorites.
Plus what Pants does for Yugoloths.

I use Creature Collection 1 (which has but a couple of things of interest), Oriental Adventures (that has great horrors), Book of Vile Darkness (which has many fiends), and Book of Exalted Deeds (which has a a couple of things of interest to me). I also have Serpent Kingdom.
