This focuses primarily on dungeon-dwelling creatures rather than planar or wilderness creatures, and I went through the Labyrinth Lord rulebook when compiling this rather than Basic/Expert D&D, so there might be a few differences. Also it does rely on my own guestimate as to how tough each monster is.
For the sake of completion, I've included dungeon-dwelling monsters I've created elsewhere on this blog at the end of each level, indicated with an asterisk *.
As for using these lists - I've found them useful for selecting monsters for either writing an adventure or in the middle of a session where I want a monster of particular strength that will challenge the PCs without overwhelming them. These levels are guidelines, and assume there is just one of the monsters - it does not take into account the number appearing recommended in the monster stats.
