[edit] The Monster Manual and Birthright
As one of core publications of D&D (the others being the Player's Handbook and the Dungeon Master's Guide), it is expected that any DM running a Birthright game will have a copy of the Monster Manual on hand. However, not all creatures within it are applicable to Birthright.
The closest thing published to a Birthright-specific Monster Manual is Blood Spawn, which details various monsters that may be found from the Shadow World.
