Ravenloft - Monstrous Compendium 

Appendices I & II

They lurk in the shadows. They linger in your dreams. They strike in the darkness.
 
They are the foul and horrible creatures that dwell in Ravenloft, the Demiplane of Dread, and they are waiting for you. From the dream-stalking bastellus to the body-snatching doppleganger plant, this horrific tome contains a great assortment of creatures that will haunt the nightmares of player characters for years to come. In addition, this book presents over 20 unique creatures, including the living brain of Rudolph Von Aubrecker and the dreaded night hag Styrx, all of whom are perfect for use as master villains and NPC's.
 
TSR is proud to present this compilation of diabolical beings from the first two Monstrous Compendium appendices dedicated to the Ravenloft campaign setting. Fist released in 1991 and 1993, these collections have been unavailable for some time, but always in demand. Now they're back - at a price that's lower than the combined price of the two earlier products. No Ravenloft campaign is complete without this book.
