The Creation of Monsters was the third volume of Emperor Palpatine's Dark Side Compendium. It covered the subject of properly mastering and harnessing the technique of Sith alchemy.

Unlike the first two, The Creation of Monsters was unfinished at the time of Palpatine's first death at the Battle of Endor, being left in a nearly-complete manuscript form. However, even unfinished, it was estimated that reading The Creation of Monsters as it stood would require nearly 96 standard hours.

It was suspected that the book covered the methods of creating Shadow Droids, Imperial Sentinels and chrysalide.

Some of the knowledge contained in this volume was derived from Palpatine's study of Naga Sadow's holocron.
