[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 9348765, member: 779"] For the Lawful and Chaotic Planetouched they were covered in 3e MM2, MM3 and an issue Dragon back when they were Paizo was publishing the magazines for WotC. I certainly have my own ideas for what they should be like under some unified theory and streamlining of the types. I'd feel that Mechantrix is probably visually the strongest one for the Lawful Planetouched over Zenythri and Axani, as they're effectively cyborgs. I'd lean on them being more Modron-like cyborgs, but not necessarily have all Lawful Planetouched as cyborgs, some could be things like batches of clones, or partially insect people or the strangely just purple people the Zenythri were. For Chaotic Planetouched I much preferred the Cansin over the Chaond. The Cansin sort of had more of a vibe of Delerium of the Endless (a Sandman character who might show up in the 2nd season of the Netflix adaptation), while the Chaond were definitely connected to Slaadi in appearance. They're Chaotic Planetouched and I think it should cover failed-Slaadi mutants, whimsical beings and unintentional minor shapeshifters (as in things like body type, appearance and gender change randomly after every long rest). I'd throw in some possible Far Realms influence as things to cover the more mutated ones. [/QUOTE]
