  • The Monster Manual (MM) is the primary bestiary sourcebook for monsters in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fantasy role-playing game, first published in 1977 by TSR. The Monster Manual was the first hardcover D&D book and includes monsters derived from mythology and folklore, as well as creatures created specifically for D&D. Creature descriptions include game-specific statistics (such as the monster's level or number of hit dice), a brief description of its habits and habitats, and typically an image of the creature. Along with the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide, the Monster Manual is one of the three "core rulebooks" in most editions of the D&D game. As such, new editions of the Monster Manual have been released for each edition of D&D. Due to the level of detail and illustration included in the 1977 release, the book was cited as a pivotal example of a new style of wargame books. Future editions would draw on various sources and act as a compendium of published monsters. (en)
  • Il Manuale dei Mostri (Monster Manual) è la principale raccolta delle creature presenti nel gioco di ruolo fantasy Dungeons & Dragons. Insieme al Manuale del Giocatore e alla Guida del Dungeon Master è uno dei tre manuali base della maggior parte delle edizioni di D&D. Esso comprende mostri derivati dalla mitologia e dal folklore, ma anche creature create specificatamente per il gioco. Ogni creatura è descritta sia in rapporto all'ambientazione (ad esempio le sue abitudini o il suo habitat) sia in rapporto alla parte meccanica del gioco (ad esempio le sue capacità magiche o il suo numero di dadi vita); la maggior parte delle voci presenta anche un'immagine della creatura.
