Monstrous Compendium Volume One

Monstrous Compendium Volume One is a 2-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons accessory.
==Description==
Monstrous Compendium Volume One inaugurated the Monstrous Compendium series. Unlike most Dungeons and Dragons books, which were bound as traditional books, Monstrous Compendium Volume One introduced a loose-leaf format, allowing Dungeon Masters to organize and customize their monster collections in a three-ring binder. This design marked a significant departure from earlier monster manuals, aiming to provide greater flexibility and utility for game participants.
Each monster entry provides not only physical descriptions and combat statistics but also information on behavior, habitat, and society where applicable.
