I wanted to see what a Rulebook 7.5-compatible version of the Dor Un Avathar 8.1 might look like, so I made one. If you feel it would be useful, have fun with it.

This reformat of 8.1 'compresses' all the monster entries where possible and omitting factual origins, in order to reduce the number of pages.

As with the current publicly-available RTF of DUA 8.1, this version is text-only. It includes a table of contents and some layout reformatting: individual monsters are limited to one page where practical and each one appears on its own page to facilitate printing individual pages as monster handouts.
