This is the second monster appendix for Forgotten Realms. It’s much better! Like the first, Tom Baxa and Mark Nelson provide the interior illustrations; this time they’re joined by Valerie Valusek, who was one of the primary artists for FR supplements at the time. There’s even an uncredited Tim Bradstreet in there (the deep dragon). The mix of monsters is more exciting and weirder too. We get the fachan (a one-armed, one-legged, one-eyed goblin), the very FR feyr, the undead inquisitors, dark naga, Jorge Luis Borges’ peryton, the gloopy skuz and the creepy scorpion folk. Oh, and the dino-people, saurials. Its a good selection that better represents the monsters of the Realms, I think

The Easley cover is pretty good, too, depicting a peryton, a feyr and a saurial. Enjoy that the feyr is acting as an armrest.
