The AD&D 2e Monstrous Manual (TSR, 1993) was a single hardcover book combining all the monsters from Monstrous Compendium Volumes One and Two plus some from later MC supplements, revised and updated. It was considered the third of three core books for 2e, along with the PHB and DMG, reestablishing the 3-volume core structure of 1e that was repeated in later editions. Jeff Easley provided the cover art featuring a red dragon, minotaur, lich, thri-kreen, and beholder-kin.
