From the back cover: "Only the bravest - or the most foolhardy - would dare stand before the creatures included inside this MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM appendix. Encounter the shadow giant, the stalking horror, and the unique undead found lurking beyond the Tablelands as well as many other terrors. Containing 128 pages of full-color monsters, this accessory is designed for the DARK SUN campaign world but is adaptable to any AD&D campaign."
