Dungeon Masters Companion: Monster List (Other Planes)

The monster list for Other Planes in the Companion Set rules mainly involves elemental creatures, including those from the Basic and Expert Sets with elemental origins,* and others which are new

*as described in Eldritch Wizardry 
In addition to the elementals themselves (which range up to 32 Hit Dice), there are 'good guy' and 'bad guy' races on each plane.  Some of these life forms are very strange, but all are playable and interesting.
Frank Mentzer, Imagine #18 (September, 1984)

Elementals take double, normal, or no/minimal damage from attacks according to the principles of dominance and opposition, as explained in the section on Elemental Magic in Part 3: The Multiverse
