That particular spelling was probably the transliteration used in whatever original source that Gygax (or whoever) used.Couatl is the Aztec name for a day of the week, also meaning serpent or twin.

Is that even a thing you can do? They're the same damn thing, D&D just slapped an extra vowel on it for some unknown reason.I have no idea how I misfiled the poor pegasus, but I'm not convinced about the couatl. The name coatl is public domain, but the couatl spelling seems to be D&D specific.
Not at all. That said, if I was going to pretend that they were important, as WotC has done, I would actually put in the effort to make them more interesting.How important are carrion crawlers to you that you want to give all you money to a lawyer over?
That makes sense. My entry point was AD&D, rather than BD&D, which we mostly just plundered for adventure modules.For those of us who started with the Mentzer basic red box, the carrion crawler was quite likely to be the first monster you ever encountered.
I'm not sure if the BECMI version had 8 attacks or not, but it was an "interesting" choice for the first encounter to give to a bunch of 1st level PCs and their novice players (and a novice DM, in my case).
For instance, if carrion crawlers are the larval form of something, do they pupate? And afterwards, what do they become?
Tome of Horrors Complete Pathfinder versionIs that a Tome of Horrors entry?
I honestly want to see the product that Wizards decides to go after just because they included a carrion crawler in it.Not at all. That said, if I was going to pretend that they were important, as WotC has done, I would actually put in the effort to make them more interesting.
I've seen more than one version of a "carcass/corpse/scum/slime creeper/crawler/worm".Years later I still don't understand why they included the Carrion Crawler on their list of Product Identity.
I mean, if I were another publisher, I might include a dungeon caterpillar just for LOLs.I've seen more than one version of a "carcass/corpse/scum/slime creeper/crawler/worm".
