Template:D&DCreatList
This is a template used to list D&D monsters.
As such lists can get very long, this is a shortened version of Template:D&D creature list, that sacrifices some of that templates clarity by using abbreviations instead of descriptive names of the field in question, in order to reduce the amount of data in a list.
Please note that this template does not include the table headers, which must be added manually, but only offers an easier way to add information about a specific monster. A new set of parameters must be filled in for each monster.

The page numbers that the monster is listed on in the book in question. Note that it may span several pages. This parameter is optional.

Appearances in other supplements, modules, video games etc. that the monster has played a major role in, especially ones where statistics from other versions have been printed.

- D
A very brief description of the monster from the source book, possibly including in-game appearance and abilities, alignment if relevant to the concept and creative origins if a source can be found.
- I
An image of appropriately small size of the monster. This parameter is optional.
- ImageURL
A link to an image of the monster used in the book being discussed. Only link if the image can be found on the Wizards of the Coast website, probably in the gallery.
