A Guide to Hell & Planar Monsterous Compendium?

[Klyden]

A Guide to Hell & Planar Monsterous Compendium? Where are they in the converted monsters of the creature catelog. I guess I am specifically requesting what the names are of the following monsters (from 2nd Edition TSR):

#1: A Gargantuan Being made completely out of brains that devours and assimilates the brains of other beings and was created by the Mind Flayer God Brain? I believe this monster was specifically in the first Planar Monsterous Compendium. Can anyone tell me it's name?

#2: A Cockrouch-like Baatazu whom has a shap saw like blade on it's nose and it's man job is to torture petitioners of the Nine Hells of Baator? I believe this monster is in the Guide to Hell. Can anyone tell me it's name?

#3: A possessing-like Baatazu spirit who is the form of a punished devil who has to possess others in order to relieve it of it's horrible pain. It's current form is a punishment for crimes against an Arch Devil? I believe this monster is in the Guide to Hell. Can anyone tell me it's name?

Intellect devourer.

Kocrachon...also in the BoVD.

#3: A possessing-like Baatazu spirit who is the form of a punished devil who has to possess others in order to relieve it of it's horrible pain. It's current form is a punishment for crimes against an Arch Devil? I believe this monster is in the Guide to Hell. Can anyone tell me it's name?

This is neither an intellect devourer nor a brain collector. The brain collector (also called the neh-thallgu) isn't made of brains, and it wasn't created by the illithid god-brain. The intellect devourer looks like a brain but is small, not gargantuan, and grows from a fungal life-form called an ustilagor.

Couldn't tell ya what it is, though.

Would that be the eater of knowledge? I don't have the book it's in, but I remember the name and the picture, and your description seems to fit what I remember.

edit: Ahh, I didn't see Boz's post before mine, excuse me

Ack! Eater of knowledge, that's what I meant! Intellect devourer's the annoying little critter...
