Greyhawk Monster Index

[Shade]

Here is yet another attempt at an index of previous edition monsters. As always, if we're missing anything, let us know.

This was BOZ's idea, and the information was contributed by a number of folks in this thread. I'm simply the "data entry" guy in this project.

Note that I did not include the core books of various editions (such as the Monster Manuals) where Greyhawk was considered the default setting. These are covered better in other indices.

[Alzrius]

For the life of me, I can't remember the source before it was printed in Dungeon #77 and the Monstrous Compendium Annual vol. 3, but I know the Suel Lich should be on this list too.

 

[Shade]

Here's the sources I could find on the Suel lich:

• Poly #101, p.31
• Free on TSR/WOTC's site.
• Monstrous Compendium Annual 2, p.79.
• Dungeon #70

I'm not sure which was first, offhand, but I'll add these sources when the boards are running faster.

 

[Alzrius]

Here's the sources I could find on the Suel lich:

• Free on TSR/WOTC's site.

Where on WotC's website? I maintain the list of monsters found there, and I've never seen the Suel Lich there, in any format.

 

[Shade]

Apparently it was there at one time (pre-3E), but it is not there any longer. Canonfire has it available for download now here:

http://www.greyhawkonline.com/canonfire/suellich.txt

 

[BOZ]

i remember... circa 1996 it was on TSR's website.

 

[Shade]

Ahh, the good ol' days.

 

[diaglo]

i remember... circa 1996 it was on TSR's website.

yeah, it was still there until about 1999 or so.

along with the free download of H1.

 

[diaglo]

Shade,

I9 contained no new monsters. that's why i left it blank on the other thread.


are you gonna include all the other 2edADnD adventures and sourcebooks i listed?

 

[grodog]

Note that I did not include the core books of various editions (such as the Monster Manuals) where Greyhawk was considered the default setting. These are covered better in other indices.

While that's a great cut-off point, Shade, there are a few entries from the MM2 that discuss Greyhawk-specific stuff, and for which previous publications don't exist (hence I'm not counting Valley Elves, for example, since they appeared in Dragon prior to MM2):

MM2 - Catlord (page 22; mentions his only known friend is the goddess Xan Yae)
MM2 - Dragonell (page 60; mentions that it's pretty much extinct except in the Pomarj area)
MM2 - Hordling (page 75; mentions the infamous Bringer of Doom artifact)

C3 The Lost Island of Castanamir
C4 To Find a King
C5 The Bane of Llywelyn
C6 The Official RPGA Tournament Handbook

FWIW, none of these modules were ever set in Greyhawk, they're generic RPGA adventures. Some of the monsters listed were also published first in the Fiend Folio (most of which were first published in White Dwarf before it became a house organ for GW).

Also, a general question, Shade: are you compiling a concordance of GH monster appearances (where you list ever time a monster appears, such as Kuo Toa in EX1), vs. a listing for when they were first published (which would be D2 for the Kuo Toa, of course)?

Some additions for you:

Dragon Magazine

Demonic Knights of Doom (Dragon 59)
Grugach and Valley Elves (Dragon 67)
Time Elemental (Dragon 69)
Obsidian Dragon (Dragon 146)
Snow Elves (Dragon 155)
Yak Men (Dragon 241)

I1 Dwellers of the Forbidden City
Yellow Mush Creeper

That's actually Yellow Musk Creeper

I3 Pharoah
I4 Oasis of the White Palm
I5 Lost Tomb of Martek
I6 Ravenloft
I8 Ravager of Time
I10 Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill

These also weren't ever set in Greyhawk. I7 was adopted into Greyhawk, and I9 is semi-Greyhawk related, since the Cup and Talisman are GH artifacts (though the module itself isn't really set in GH, it can be set easily in Baklunish lands).

UK4 When a Star Falls
UK5 Eye of the Serpent
UK6 All That Glitters
UK7 Dark Clouds Gather

IIRC, these weren't specifically set in GH either. The only one that I own is UK6, which was a rather under-rated adventure and I've used it several times for Suloise areas within the Sea of Dust
