Do sliver overlord next. Its description will include Lanareil, because it's from leigons. I like Lanareil so mch, he'll appear as an NPC in my campagin. Thanks for the insparation!
I have presented you the finest, rarest, most divine snackrifice ever-a tarrasque, ascended to greater deity-hood, with all templates applied to it.

Lanariel is a she, as in a female, and the next sliver will be the Spined. The Overlord is scheduled for last, I am not about to change the order just because people ask me to, it would set a bad predecent. And besides, I ain't finished with the overlord yet.

Law: Perhaps...

Edit: Argh! Forgot the color closer.

Krishnath,

I am merely a lurker, having just joined recently. But I must say, I love your Slivers (and other creations you've been part of). Thank you very much for your work and your passion. I'm thinking I might use your slivers at some point when I think my players might last more than 10 rounds. (heh!)

and now the snackages: 8 Rakshashas dressed up as the G-8 leaders, enjoy!

Combat:
Spined slivers a bred for combat, using their long spines and tentacles to grapple their opponents, so that other slivers can more easily attack them.

One Water Elemental Snackrifice coming up! Great job!

Hmmm... since law is doing Incarnations, how about Myr or Kavus for your next project?

Ah, thanks I was thirsty.

*gulp*

Mmm... Cherry flavor...

I will do neither the Myr nor the Kavu as quite frankly, I find neither interresting. But I am open for suggestions for other creatures.
