Greyhawk, also known as Supplement I: Greyhawk, is a rules supplement for original Dungeons & Dragons. It is the very first supplement ever published for Dungeons & Dragons, or any other role-playing game.

Monsters[]

Greyhawk contains rules for new monsters that can be used in D&D games. Information is presented in a similar manner as that in the boxed set booklet. Page 33 contains an index of the monsters presented in the book, and pages 34-40 contain descriptions of each monster. Additions and corrections to Vampires and Elementals from the boxed set are included in this book on page 34.
