Preface
The various creatures herein are for use in ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. Parameters have been set for the game. Those monsters drawn from my original work have been revised and expanded upon accordingly. Except ad noted, all new monsters are strictly of this author's creation - just as all those which appeared in The Strategic Review were - and I take the burden of full responsibility for them. It is necessary to acknowledge the contributions of the following persons: Steve Marsh for devising the creatures for undersea encounters which originally appeared in BLACKMOOR , as I have radically altered them herein; Erol Otus for doing the preliminary work and illustrations of the anhkheg and remorhaz which appeared in The Dragon; Ernie Gygax for water weird and for his help in solidifying many of the characteristics of the creatures herein; Terry Kuntz, who was never thanked for his prototypical beholder, a revised version of which was included in GREYHALK; to the whole crew at TSR, and Brian Blume, Tim Kask, and Dave Sutherland in particular, is due thanks for helping me get this whole project into a manuscript; and to my wife, Mary, who has been stuck with the job of typing most of the manuscript, my apologies for mistakes needing correcting and my admiration for staying with it day after day. If I have missed thanking any other person, please pardon the oversight.
