So many are its adherents that tis hard to believe the game has only been available over here for less than five years. Though in sheer population ms the game could never command the numerical support in Britain as it does in the U.S.A, the enthusiasm with which British ‘gamers have greeted this American inspiration is not so arbitrarily constrained. Here, as in its country of origin, the AD&D system has been a truly remarkable success and it is appropriate that, sooner or later, major contributions to it should stem from an initiative which is substantially British, Hence the FIEND FOLIO Tome. In effect, itis an all-new companion volume to that excellent compendium the AD&D Monster ‘Manual. Such will be evident to those who now have copies of both, not only because of the nature of its contents butalso because the tome unashamedly emulates its elder brother in its high quality of presentation. The FIEND FOLIO Tome is my first official ‘AD&D work: from the outset | was determined that it should be on a qualitative par with the other AD&D works -not only the Monster ‘Manual but also the other handbooks. ADD enthusiasts deserve something more than mediocrity and the many contributors to this volume deserve a high-quality presentation of their creations. The FIEND FOLIO Tome would be desperately inadequate were its presentation not of the same superior quality as those earlier TSR publications which put them head and shoulders above their competitors. ‘Those familiar with the Monster Manual will therefore recognize the FIEND FOLIO format since the general layout and the method of presenting the monster contents are the same. The purpose of the FIEND FOLIO Tome, too, is complementary to that of the ‘Monster Manual -to extend the range of monsters available for use in AD&D gamesand tocollectail the newcomers into one volume for easy reference. A few of the monsters in the book relate in one way or another to creatures which appear in the Monster Manual, ‘so small relevant sections of the Monster Manual re here reprinted, by kind permission, and there are also some cross-references ‘tothe Monster Manual. Though itis probably true that most owners of this tome will alredy have a copy of the Monster Manual, the number of cross-references has been kept to a minimum. itis helpful, but not essential, to own both works. ‘There is one major difference between the two volumes - the source of their contents. The Monster Manual is very largely the sole work of one person - Gary Gygax - who not only created and developed most of the Monster Manual monsters himself but also developed those he did not personally create. The new monsters in the FIEND FOLIO Tome, however, are the creations of many people. Some time ago, the editor of a UK magazine asked readers to submit their monster creations to a regular feature which became known as the Fiend Factory. The response was quite enormous and many worthwhile contributions reached the editorial offices. As editor of the feature, | never lacked new and interesting monsters to fill the Factory pages each issue - indeed (for a magazine has inevitable limitations on space) it very soon became evident that many worthwhile creations would not be published until long, long after their submission, ifatall. Atthe same time, the readers were praising the featureand demanding more! So there was.a goodly supply of, andastrident demand for, additional AD&D monsters - and these two factors gave birth to tne FIEND FOLIO ‘Tome of Creatures Malevolent and Benign. ‘This volume therefore contains an overwhelming majority of monsters which were originally submitted for the Fiend Factory feature. A small fraction of them have already appeared in the Factory (though not inas developed a formas they appear here) while ‘larger number have come straight from creation via development to this book without pausing at the Factory en route. Additionally the FIEND FOLIO Tome includes new monsters from TSR in Lake Geneva, USA, Which brings me to my first debt of gratitude - to the contributors. There are many names - too many to list here, but they are all listed in the index to the rear of this volume next to the name of their creation. Toall these people, my warm and mostssincere thanks. Quite literally, the FIEND FOLIO Tome would not have been possible without you, {itis worth noting that contributions to the FIEND FOLIO Tome have come from many parts of the world - the U.K., the U.S.A. Australia, Canada and Europe. The AD&D games are spreading!) My own task has been quite simple one- to select monsters for inclusion, to develop them as necessary and write the statistics and ‘texts, to assemble the entries in coherent form andto produce the various tables. Perhaps selection was not so easy a task after all, for there were over 1,000 contributions to consider; | have been able to be quite ruthless in selection to ensure that the monsters ‘which finally did appear were of the highest quality and originality. To nave sacrificed quantity for quality in this way is, | believe, nat discerning AD&D enthusiasts would want me to have done. On the development side my efforts have been variable. Some ‘originals werealmost fully developed when they reached me and not a great deal of work was required to adc the final touches to them. At the opposite end of the developmental spectrum, other contributions arrived incomplete and embryonic, with the tip of a 900d idea just showing above the surface, as it were; these needed development to “flesh them out” into complete and coherent form. A few names have been changed and a tew characteristics altered (most for good and sufficient reasons, some out of sheer instinet) but substantially the task has been to build on creations rather than to re-work them entirely. So, in the final analysis, and excluding those which appeared in the TSR Modules, | must bear final responsibility for the presentation of all the FIEND FOLIO ‘monsters. Hore | must make more acknowledgements and expross more thanks. Throughout the project ! have received very helpful advice ‘and guidance trom Lawrence Schick and from Gary Gygax, who gave me a great deal of editorial rope inmy first ADBD project but ‘made sure I did nothang myself. Since began work on the FIEND FOLIO Tome in the U.K. at the same timo as the Dungeon Masters. ‘Guide was being finalized in America, it was important for the one to be compatible with the other and for the Tome to be asto-dateas possible, and lam particularly grateful to Gary for letting me in on the secrets of the Dungeons Masters Guide before it was published. To Gary mustalso.go a very special acknowledgement and very warm thanks, for without his creativity there would be no AD&D games and no FIEND FOLIO Tome. And | owe particular thanks to Albie Fiore, who in addition to being a major contributor to the FIEND FOLIO project has done an enormous amount of work during its preparation acting asmy second pairof eyes, bringing to my attention possible deficiencies and inconsistencies, suggesting Improvements and coordinating all the printing. Albie's help has been invaluable. ‘The quality of the art work in the Tome is, I believe, particularly good and! am sure the readers will appreciate the endeavours of the artists, who have my praise, thanks and envy! Lill make only one apology in respectoof the FIEND FOLIO Tome anditis this. There are many. many places in the text wh necessary to refer toa person (Yor instance tothe victim of a monster's attacks) who isnot identified as to gender, In such placesitis tempting, though | believe unnecessarily pedantic, to lapse into the cumbersome and ugly style of "he or she’, “him or her” and other such awkwardnesses. (The English language has not yet bent to accomodate these alleged requirements of modern society. and i the products are tobe words ike “hime” and “hisr” | devoutly hope it never wil).Early in the proceedings, I decided to eschew such clumsiness, and i there isa reader who is offended by ths, itis to him that | apologise. Or, of course, to her. Let me confirm that, unless there are specific contextual indications to the contrary, all references in this book to males apply equally, mutatis ‘mutandis, to temales. ally, to my most important expression of thanks. if anyone has suffered during the preparation of this book, that person is the lady who shares my life. Nevertheless, June has displayed enormous tolerance, despite the late-night clattaring of the typewriter, the liberal bestrewing of FIEND FOLIO Tome dratts on all available horizontal surfaces in our home and my apparently infinite preoccupation with the project. | owe her my very special gratitude and offer her the consolation that it is now all over....until the next time, Don Turnbull Cambridge, England.

Its first — and more important — meaning is o designate any creature encountered, hos- tle oF otherwise, human, humanoid or beast. Thus the term is used ‘generically to signify the eubject of an encounter: until the party of adventurers are certain what they have mel, itis a “monster’. The ‘Secondary use of the term is the more traditional one— to signify @ wicked or horrible creature of some sort ‘The two meanings of the term are not necessarily mutually exclusive but nor are they necessarily identical in encounter terms. Thus, ita party encounters @ monster which turns out to be an gull wizard, the latter is probably a monster in the second sense of the word, too, however, if the encounter is with a pacific creature with no malign Intent, the second sence is inappropriate. ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS" players will almost certainiy be familiar with these two s@s of the word already: those who are newcomers may find them little contusing at first, put experience willsoon determine which of the ‘wo uses of the word is appropriate n the particular context. Note that, despite this terminology, a human (and nearhuman) en- countered as a monster always uses the combat matrix for humans. ‘when attacking. In other words dwarves, elves, gnomes, hall-elves, hhalflings, half-ores and humans always use the human attack matrix ‘whether they are "monsters" or player-characters" Each FIEND FOLIO monster is given aull description inthe text which follows; additionally, each has been assigned a value for each of a ‘number of parameters which collectively describe its benaviour.com= bat mode and go forth in general terms. The parameters are explained her FREQUENCY refers to the likelihood of a particular creature being neountered fa where it might be an inhabitant, ‘denoting therarity or otherwise of the monster insuchareas, Very rare indicates a 4% chance of occurrence, rare indicates an 11% chance: uncommon indicates a 20% chance and common indicates a 65% ‘chance. These proballitios are reflected, with necessary minor approx- mations such asare well within ine limits statistical variation, nthe Monster Lovel Tables. There are some variationswithin each category — for example, some creatures which are ‘vary rare” wll in fact be rarer than others under the same general description. NUMBER APPEARING indicates a good average spread. Generally, if 4 creature is encountered in oF near its lar. it can be expected to appear in such numbers, while further away from its lair it will be ‘encountered in smaller numbers. Again, here are exceptions to this —inteligent, organized monsters forming a war party for a specific raiding or punitive mission may be encountered in considerable fhumbers some distance from thei lar, whileancountere with the same (ortuitously, be with small numbers of ‘scouts” or "perimeter guards". The number-range indicated should therefore be used only as a guideline and should be altered to suit the circumstances particular to any adventure as the need arises, More specifically, he number-range indicated is not necessarily re- ‘commended for Underground (dungeon) encounters. Since many ad- ventures take place in dungeons, however, an additional section after the Encounter Listings gives guidance ‘on the numbers of each ‘monster-type likely be encountered in such locations, ARMOUR CLASS describes the general type of protection worn by hhumane, near-human or humanoid monsters, protection inherent toa ‘monster due to its physical structure and/or magical nature and the degree of difficulty of hiting a monster due tots speed, reflexes and 0 forth, All these factors are combined into a single armour class value, Referees need not adjust this value to take account of high dexterity. Where necessary alterations tothe AC value are included in the monster's individual description iheserneedito be made in partic- ular eitcumstances. MOVE shows the relative speed of the monster on a constant basis. Higher speeds may be possible for very short periods. The creature's ‘movement rate can be sealed to whatever lime period is desired by adjusting the ground scale accordingly. In certain cases, more than ‘one numbers given under this heading: this indicatos that the monster can travel in two or more diferent media or riodes:— x monster's movement rate in its normal medium 7X" = monster's flying in addition toa normal mode of travel YX = monsters swimming speed, in addition to a normal mode (0°) = monster's burrowing speed, in addition to 2 normal mode "x" = “monster's speed in a web, in addition to a normal mode) Ha single numbers given, that does not automatically mean that the monster only moves along the ground (though it does in most cases) =the main text must be consulted to make the meaning clear, Thus, 8 ‘monster whose only means of locomotion is flying will have a single ‘number — and this s, in this case, a flying speed. HIT DICE indicated how to calculate the number of hit points the ‘monster can withstand before dying, Uniess stated otherwise, hit diceare -sided points per die). The indicated numberof dicearerolledand the resulting numbers added together to arrive at the monsters total hit points, ‘Some monstershave hit points which areless than the full 1-8 rangeo! an €-sided die (48), and these are indicated by a range of hit points. This, fa creaturehas 1-4hit points, a4-sided dieis rolled to determine is hit points Other monsters have hit points additional to the numbor derived from ‘heir hitcice; hiss ndicated bya plussign followed by the numberof ‘additional hit points. This, if a monster has "HIT DICE: 5+3”. five 2 sided dice are rolled, the number are added togother and 3 is added to the result: this monster will ave a range of 5-40 hit points plus 3 it points, or 8-43 hit points. 4% IN LAIR indicates the chance of encountering the monster in ques- tion where it domiciles and stores its treasure (if any). Note that some ‘monsters are never found in ther lars, this is elther because the lai is inaceessibie (or unknown) oF because the monster simply does not have a fixed lair and isa true wandering monster. Note that certain monsters have their lars on planes other than the Prime Materiat Plane; clearly, these monsters will never be encoun- tered in their lair f the encounter takes place on the Prime Material Plane, oF ary other plane which is not the monsier’s plane of resi- dence. However, some monsters whose normal lairs are on planes. ther than the Prime Material may have established las there of a temporary nature, inthe pursuit of @ particular purpose or mission. TREASURE TYPE refers to the table atthe rear of this book. The table shows the treasure-types and numbers of the incividual components Of the treasure, together with the probability that the treasure will Contain that component. Thus, treasure type J indicates there will any silver, elactrum, gold, platinum, gems, jewellery, maps or magical items. In contrast, treasure type P indicates that oniy silver and/or ‘lectrum pieces may be present, the former ata probability of 90% and thelatter at a probability of 25% (so there is a chance that there willbe no treasure at all), Thus, i individual treasure is indicated, each indi- ‘vidual monster of that type will, or may, carry the treasure shown. Otherewisa, treasure is only found inamonsters lar (which, in normal circumstances, will also contain the monster on guard). However, ‘even ifan encounter takes place in helair of a monster with aparticu- lar treasure type, this does not automatically mean that the adventur= 'swillgain the treasure if they defeat the monster. I'dice rollsindicate that a particular teeasure component is not in the monster's lar, tis simply not thare: it Is thus quite possible to gain no treasure trom Geteating a monster in its lair, despite the fact that a treasure type is Indicated ‘Treasure types are based on the appearance of a mean number of ‘monsters ofthat particular type, as indicated by the “number appear- ing’. In instances where fewer, or more, monsters of that type are fencountorad, the treasure should be reduced, or increased. in value Larger treasures of a given type are denoted by a multiplier in paren= ‘theses ((x2) for instance) — not to be confused with treasure type X. NUMBER OF ATTACKS shows the number ofbasic attacks, excluding special attacks, the monster is able to make during a given melee ‘ound, This number may be modified by spells such as haste and siow but does not include unusual or special attack forms. Multiple attacks Usually indicate the use of serveral modes of attack during the same melee round — for example a monster which rakes with Its two claws and inflicts a bite in the same melee round would be given attacks. DAMAGE PER ATTACK simply indicates the amount (number of hit points) of damage @ given attack will infict on a victim when it hits, expressed as a range of hit points of damage. Referto the main textfor ‘8 more detailed explanation of the monster's modes of attack and the ‘damage which each might inflict. I «monster uses a weapon in attack, the damage will nat be shown since it will vary according tothe {ype of weapon used SPECIAL ATTACKS detail such special attack modes as dragon breath, magic-use and so forth. Refer to the main text for a detailed ‘explanation of these, including the method and frequency of the tack, the damage it inflicts and any special effects which might re from it ‘SPECIAL DEFENSES are almost self-explanatory and are detailed in the main text in the same manner as are spacial attacks. They will include the use of defensive magic, camouflage abilities and so fort. MAGIC RESISTANCE indicates the percentage chance of a spell absolutely failing if tis cast at, or on, the monster in question. The basis! the figure isaspell cast by amagic-user of the 11thexperience level the figure must be adjusted upwards by 5% for each experience level below 11th, ordownwards by 5% for each experiencelevel above 11th, of the spoll-caster. Thus, a monster with 95% magic resistance ‘cannot be affected by a spell Cast by a magic-user of the 10th expe- rience level orlower, whilea 12th level magic-user has a 10% chance ot affecting it. Note that, even if @ spell doos “overcome the magic resistance” of a ‘monster, the monster is sul entitled to normal saving throws INTELLIGENCE indicates the basic equivalent of the human intelli ‘gence quotient (atleast in concept even if 1 itself appears now to be much isgraced). Certain monsters are instinctively cunning or par- !y devious in their encounter behaviour, andif this is soit willbe Indicated in the text. The intelligence ratings correspond roughly 10 the following character intelligence scores: ° Non-intelligent, or inteligence not ratable 1 ‘Animal inteligence 2-4 Semi-intelligent 57 Low inteligence 8-10 Average (human) intelligence 14-12 Very intelligent 13:44 Highly inteligent 45-48 Exceptionally intelligent 17-18 inteligence 18-20 Supra-genius 2H Godlike intoligence ALIGNMENT indicates the characteristicbent of the monstertowards behaviour, perhaps. modified by agod or evil intent.

Demons are able to move from their own plane into thote of Tartrus, Hades, of Pandemoniam or roam the Astra Plane. However, they cannot enter the Material Plane without aid (conjuration, gate, or by ‘pame speaking o similar means). Demons are chaotic and evil, the emartor and stronger rule those of ‘sir kind who are weaker and less incelligent. The less intelligent vil attack without question and fight until sian. Demons of type V and shove are not actually alain when thoir material form is killed In ‘combat; their material form being removed from their ut, the demon [nquestion s thereby forced back to the plane fram whence t orginally ‘came, there to remain until a century her pasted or unt another aids to go forth ain. However, if demons are encountered on their own plane, they can be slain. No demon can ever be subdued. All are able {0 divide their attacks amongst two or even three opponents if theit ‘cans allows Demons wil never willingly serve anyone or anything. If forced to serve through magic or throst they will continually seek a way to slay theit ‘mesterfcaptor. Those to wtiom demons show e liking are typlcaly Carried off tothe demons’ plane to becomes slave (although a favoured fone), Note that demons can be summoned by cherscters of any alignment, but controlling 2 demon is another matter entirely. A Special pentacle is required for demons of type VI or greater. The ‘rest or reward which the conjuring party uses to attempt gaining 8 ‘demon’s service must be carefully handled by the dungson master. pelied by holy (good) relics or artifacts. Demons frequently roam the Astrof and Etherso! Planer. Theit ‘ttention is alao attracted by persons in an ethereal state. If the name Of a particularly powerful demon is spoken there is a chance thet he ‘and turn his attention to the speaker. A base 5% chance Is recommended to the referee.

Amulets: Demon lords and princes maintain their vital ‘essences in small containers — their souls, 0 to speak, are thus at ‘once protected and yet vulnerable if rome enterprising charactor should gein the amulet. Demons with amulets are able to magic jar ‘once per dey. Demons’ amulets cannot be detected as auch by any rmapicel mesns, and they do not otherwise appear unusual in ony way. “The device need not be with the most powerful prinees, although the lesser demons typically need to carry thers on or near their person. Possession of an amulet gives the possessor power over the demon to ‘whom it "botangs” for the space of. for example, one adventure, and ‘never more than a dey (24 hours). The emulet must then be retured ‘0 the demon — or it can be destroyed and thus condemn the prince to abyssment for a year (and it may return thereafter only if summoned). Use of an amulet is very, very dangerous. Porrssion ‘fone will double chances of calling the attention of another demon, land any demon not controlled by the device will immediately tteck ‘he person possessing such an amulet. If the amulet leaves the hand ‘of the one commanding the demon to whom it belongs, that demon tttacks him in ite most effective fashion, immediately, axtempting ite ‘utmost to slay and then to carry all that remains to its own domain, that charactor it lost and gone forever. On the positive side, however, it the wielder of the amulet carefully repays the demon for aid ‘rendered, adds 8 considerable sum for having the temerity to care to ‘command the demon in the first place, and then caretlly restores ‘the amulet to the demon, the prince might not bear him s grudge {oraver afterwards nor seek to hunt him out whenever possible, 24 DEMON (LOLTH) Lolth (Demon Queen of Spiders) WLeser Goxdes) FREQUENCY: Very rave NO, APPEARING: 7 ‘ARMOUR GLASS: —10 (-2) Movi 15°) HIT DICE: 66 hit pomnes (16:hie dice) SIN LAIR: 25% ‘TREASURE TYPE: Ofe5),8.XU3), NO.
