Compiled 3E Monster List by Type/Subtype
by Robert BlezardSome of you might be wondering why I've been so eager to figure out which existing 3E monsters and races are appropriate to Mystara. The discussions I've created were meant not only to get ideas flowing, but also to help me compile a proper list of canonical creatures for use with a D&D 3rd Edition game. The process will be ongoing and I'm not sure how much time I'll be devoting to it.
What I have decided is that not only do I want a canonical list, but also semi-canonical and fanon lists. My main sources, for now, will be Monster Manual v.3.5, Monster Manual II (3.0), Monster Manual III (3.5), and Fiend Folio (3.0/3.5*). As the project goes on, I'll be going through the other v.3.5 books with monsters in them.
* While FF isn't a true v.3.5 book, a lot of its stats follow the v.3.5 format.
MM v.3.5 Aberrations
MM v.3.5 Animals
MM v.3.5/PHB v.3.5 Humanoids and Monstrous Humanoids
MM v.3.5 Constructs, Dragons, Elementals, Fey, and Giants
MM v.3.5 Magical Beasts
MM v.3.5 Oozes, Plants, and Vermin
MM v.3.5 Lycanthropes, Outsiders, Undead, and Other Template
Monster Manual II
Monster Manual III
Monster Manual IV
Tome of Horrors (3.0)
Fiend Folio
I'm going to go through each type and subtype one by one, book by book. First up are the aberrations from MM v.3.5. The work-in-progress categories I've placed each creature in is based off the discussions I've already had here on The Piazza. I might not have caught every suggestion so remind me if I've missed something.

Here's the list for MM4. Since the CCCI doesn't have creatures on it from this book, I'mgoing to assume that list was done before MM4 came out. Anything that I think might be appropriate has been marked with an asterisk (*). Anything that is definitely not appropriate has been note with a n/a in brackets/braces. I'm starting from scratch with this list, so it will see a lot of changes over the next week.
