Esta es la lista de monstruos de la segunda edición de Advanced Dungeons & Dragons , un elemento importante de ese juego de rol . [1] [2] [3] Esta lista solo incluye monstruos de los suplementos oficiales de Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition publicados por TSR, Inc. o Wizards of the Coast , no productos de terceros con licencia o sin licencia, como videojuegos o Advanced Dungeons sin licencia. & Dragons 2nd Edition manuales.
La segunda edición del juego Dungeons & Dragons presentaba tanto un mayor número de libros de monstruos [4] como descripciones de monstruos más extensas que las ediciones anteriores [1] y posteriores, normalmente con una página de extensión. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] : 106–107 Junto a una descripción, las entradas de monstruos en esta edición contenían secciones estandarizadas que cubrían el combate, su hábito y sociedad, y su papel en el ecosistema. [5] [6] [10]
La 2ª edición también utilizó un formato único en forma de Compendios Monstruosos de hojas sueltas que se podían recopilar en una carpeta, y permitía la combinación de libros de monstruos junto con páginas de monstruos individuales de conjuntos en caja. [5] [9] : 106–107 [1] Este formato se abandonó nuevamente en 1993 a favor de los libros encuadernados. [6] [11] Paralelamente a este cambio, la segunda edición introdujo imágenes en color para cada monstruo, que se convirtieron en estándar en ediciones posteriores del juego. [6] [8] [12] Haciendo referencia a la directora de arte de Wizards of the Coast, Dawn Murin, GameSpyEl autor Allan Rausch descubrió que hasta la segunda edición, la obra de arte que representa a los monstruos estaba influenciada por la cultura popular de finales de la década de 1970 . Como resultado, las criaturas que eran temibles por descripción no fueron tomadas en serio debido a imágenes inadecuadas. Del mismo modo, los monstruos humanoides se parecían demasiado a los humanos para ser convincentes. En opinión de Rausch, la configuración de Planescape marcó un punto de inflexión para estas deficiencias, que también tuvieron un impacto significativo en la presentación de la 3ª edición. [13]
Los monstruos creados para la segunda edición se basaron en mitologías de diversas culturas, literatura fantástica e invenciones originales. [1] A menudo se actualizaron a partir de ediciones anteriores. La segunda edición también introdujo una gran cantidad de nuevas criaturas. [6] [7]
Algunos tipos, como los diablos y los demonios , fueron eliminados inicialmente por TSR en respuesta al pánico moral promovido por el grupo de defensa de Patricia Pulling , Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons (BADD). [14] [15] [16] Estos fueron reintroducidos posteriormente, a veces con diferentes nombres, para evitar quejas. [17] [18]

---|---|---|---|---|
This appendix to the Monstrous Compendium series was designed for use with the Mystara campaign setting for the second edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game. The 128-page soft-bound book contains a two-pages content list, a 4-pages "How To Use This Book" section and 5 pages of random encounter charts, with the remainder consisting of the descriptions of the fictional monsters. The Mystara campaign setting began as the "Known World" in the D&D Basic and Expert rules, and as a result many of the entries below originated in the D&D Basic, Expert, Companion or Masters rulebooks, and the modules associated with them. | ||||

This 126-page soft-bound book contains additional creatures for the Ravenloft campaign setting for the second edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game. The book also contains an introduction page, a 2-page "How to Use This Book" section, an updated table for the calculation of experience points awarded for new or modified creatures, and a single page listing of creatures from other sources appropriate to the Ravenloft setting. Luis Javier Flores Arvizu named the continuous presence of supernatural beings as one of the factors that made Ravenloft a very well received role-playing game setting during the 33 years of its existence.[27] | ||||

---|---|---|---|---|
This 96-page soft-bound book contains creatures appearing in various TSR publications (magazines, game accessories, etc.). Unlike the previous annuals, the included monsters are not primarily drawn from the previous year's publications, but span a wide variety of years, possibly because TSR's financial woes resulted in very few products being produced in 1997. Also in a departure from the first three annuals, Volume Four includes a reference to the original appearance of the creature on each page. The Annual also contains a 3-page "How to Use This Book" section, which includes updated tables for the calculation of experience points awarded for defeating various creatures, and a 2-page index. | ||||

---|---|---|---|---|
This 128-page soft-bound book is a reprint of the loose-leaf Monstrous Compendium appendices MC10 and MC15 (Children of the Night), both designed for use with the Ravenloft campaign setting for the second edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game with a new foreword. It also includes a two-page "How to use this book" section, revised rules for calculating experience points and two pages about encounters in Ravenloft. Appendix I consists of the descriptions of the fictional monsters. Appendix II varies the Monstrous Compendium format to describe individuals of already published monster races and includes a two-page introduction with a list of monsters from other sources suitable for the Ravenloft setting. Luis Javier Flores Arvizu named the continuous presence of supernatural beings as one of the factors that made Ravenloft a very well received role-playing game setting during the 33 years of its existence.[27] | ||||

TSR 3140 – Birthright – Blood Spawn: Creatures of Light and Shadow (2000) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
This bestiary was planned for use with the Birthright campaign setting for the second edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game. The Birthright product line was suspended in 1998 before its completion, so Blood Spawn was later published as an 83-page PDF-file and made freely available here.[90] The supplement focused mainly on monsters of the Shadow World, the fictional dark twin dimension of the setting's world. It contained a table of contents, a 10-page introduction with an explanation of the monster statistics and special rules for the Shadow World, descriptions of the fictional monsters which included tips for their use in a roleplaying campaign, two roleplaying adventures and a 4-page appendix listing monsters from other sources fitting into the Shadow World. | ||||
