Today will cover the "others" in my Monstrous Compendium collections, but not ones I used regularly. Again the time these came out money was tight for a college kid needing to buy school supplies, food, and pay rent so choices were made. Ravenloft won, Dark Sun and Spelljammer lost.
Thankfully these days I can buy PDFs much cheaper and with little to no concern for storage space. Plus I have recently begun to explore Spelljammer and I have found it to be rather fun.

For these reviews, I am considering the PDFs only.

MC9 Monstrous Compendium Spelljammer Appendix II PDF 64 pages (70 with dividers and covers), Color cover art, black & white interior art, $4.99. 61 monsters.

Like the first Spelljamer MC this one gives us some fairly unique and interesting monsters. The one I recall the best is the Scro or the "Space Orcs." We also get a trio of celestial dragons which is fun.

There is also a collection of MC-formated monsters in the Spelljammer: Adventures in Space set.

This is pretty much the same rating as I gave to the first Spelljammer monstrous compendium. Overall, it presents a solid block of creatures with some especially neat ones (like the astro sphinx and the witchlight marauders) along with the occasional dud (instead of space gorillas, we have space penguins this time). Unfortunately, the scan quality just isn't that good compared with the uploads of newer D&D material. The text isn't sharp and the black-and-white monster pictures often look either faded or too dark. As with the first Spelljammer monster collection, I would only purchase this if you're extremely curious or if you have fond memories of playing Spelljammer and you no longer have your physical books.
