A bunch of extra monsters that you could pull out to surprise people. Some of these were from previous official products, and others were made up and sent in by fans and others, and a lot of them were from Britain, from memory. Part of the attraction is the Jeff Dee art in places, along with the silly reverse name monsters.
A must for any DM whose campaign involves planejumping

This book fleshes out the denizens of the outer planes and the astral.
Excellent source of monsters for 1st Edition AD & D
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The Fiend Folio, if you can still find it, is an excellent source of monsters "malevolent and benign," but mostly malevolent. It introduces many creatures which are staples to 2nd edition AD & D, such as the githzerai and githyanki (from Planescape) and the Death Knight (from Krynn/Dragonlance). It has an excellent mix of extraplanar and standard monsters, so it will be suitable for any level campaign. However, I would recommend it especially highly if you were running a campaign that dealt with the Elemental planes, because this has very detailed information on Mephits and the Elemental Princes, as well as other incidental elemental creatures. All in all, it makes an excellent creature sourcebook for those of you still dedicated to 1st edition AD & D.
