1e Monster Manual monsters for 4e

This is an index of all the monsters listed in the first edition of the Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual written by E. Gary Gygax and originally published in 1977. Each entry has either a link to home brewed statistics written for the fourth edition of D&D, a page number indicating where it can be found in the 4e MM, or page number references to information that can be found about the monster in various previous editions of the game.

Most of the monsters are from The Monster Project over at EN World. That effort has the goal of creating 4e stats for monsters that appeared in any of the previous editions of the D&D. My index focuses exclusively on the 1e Monster Manual. My index is not intended to supersede The Monster Project in any way. If you create your own 4e version of monsters from any of the previous editions, I highly encourage you to post it there.

As part of my ongoing blog, I will occasionally post my own 4e versions of 1e MM monsters. I will, of course, update this blog entry with a link to my own work.

I will try to continually update this blog entry. Click on this link and then create a bookmark for this blog entry so you can check for updates in the future.

Entries that are colored red and in bold face have yet to be defined in 4e terms.

If anyone knows of 4e statistics of any of the listed monsters, please let me know.

In this list, I use the following abreviations:

1e: First edition D&D rules. a.k.a. AD&D.
3.0e: Third edition D&D rules.
3.5e: The revised third edition D&D rules.

DMG: Dungeon Master's Guide
ESH: Expanded Psionics Handbook
FC1: Fiendish Codex I
FC2: Fiendish Codex II

This post I did a couple weeks back might stand in for one of the missing (giant/huge) spiders:

http://neartpk.blogspot.com/2008/09/wait-where-are-webcrawling-spiders-in.html

Also, I suspect the Homunculous (1e MM p. 53; 3.5e MM p. 154) is meant to be replaced by the Clay Scout in the Homunculous entry in the 4e MM.

Scott said...

Might want to doublecheck your list -- I know at least a few of those red monsters are in fact in the 4e MM, including blue and green dragons, flesh and stone golems, homunculi (sort of different, though), guardian naga, and shambling mound, for starters.

Aside from the homunculi, none of them seem terribly different in concept.

Thanks for the Huge Spider link, Gregor! Thanks to both you and Scott for the 4e MM corrections. Updated!
