[QUOTE="JEB, post: 9276805, member: 10148"] Source breakdowns for the 1e Monster Manual... 375 core monsters in the list. 85/375 from the original boxed set 41/375 from Greyhawk 36/375 from Blackmoor 19/375 from Eldritch Wizardry 4/375 from Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes 13/375 from The Strategic Review 3/375 from Dragon Magazine 174/375 newly core monsters [including giant ant, which first appeared the same year in Basic '77] The only 0e core monsters that didn't make the cut were the three "variable" monsters from Book II (sea monster, large and small insect or animal) and the generic "giant fish" from Book III. Presumably because there were now plenty of specific animal stats (normal and giant), plus more specific sea monsters (though no proper sea serpent, oddly). EDIT: This was updated after the discovery of core 0e monsters for "naval adventures", as detailed in [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/every-core-monster-ever-in-d-d.702706/post-9285236']this post[/URL].
