Monster Manual IV
''Monster Manual IV'' is an optional supplemental source book for the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' roleplaying game. Contents As with other ''Monster Manual'' supplements, MM4 contains a variety of new creatures as well as expanded variants on staple '' D&D'' monsters such as orcs, demons, yuan-ti, and gnolls. What separates it from past volumes is the level of detail given to each creature subtype, including probable behavior in combat and even a complete pre-prepared encounter complete with a map.

This results in fewer overall monster entries, which proved unpopular among many D&D players. Each entry also contains a table listing DC ratings for skill checks made using the Knowledge ability.
