In the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' fantasy role-playing game, the su-monster is an ape-like magical beast. ==Publication history== The su-monster first appeared in the ''Eldritch Wizardry'' supplement (1976). It was based on the ''sú'' (or succarath), a South American cryptid included in André Thévet's 1557 work ''Singularitiés de la France Antarctique'' that was likely a garbled description of an opossum.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=a-1Fu5iy0KwC&pg=PA135&lpg=PA135&dq=su-monster+%22andre+thevet%22&source=bl&ots=sIcZqz7d8a&sig=GLGtKnvrNE3vX8WLr-flgj4J9O4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=5TPYU4CwDuOBiwKO74DQBA&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=su-monster&f=false〕 The ''sú'' later appeared in the 1969 book ''A Fantastic Bestiary'' (later reprinted by Dover Books as ''Big Book of Dragons, Monsters, and Other Mythical Creatures'') by Ernst and Johanna Lehner. Based on textual evidence, ''A Fantastic Bestiary'' was used as a source by Gary Gygax for the su-monster, couatl, and other ''Dungeons & Dragons'' monsters.〔http://playingattheworld.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-fantastic-bestiary.html〕 The su-monster appeared in first edition ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'' in the original ''Monster Manual'' (1977).〔Gygax, Gary.
