From the back cover:
Back again, and better than ever! Virtually all the new AD&D game monsters that were published by TSR in 1994 have growled, burrowed, and slithered their way into this second release in a yearly series of MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM supplements.
More than 100 denizens of the land, sky, sea and...other places...are collected inside. Most of these creatures originally appeared in a specific AD&D campaign setting, but they've all been updated and edited so they can be used in any campaign.
This year's collection also features the return of the long out-of-print dinosaurs and pleistocene creatures, and includes general encounter tables for the MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM books.
This richly illustrated book is an essential addition to every Dungeon Master's library.
