about errtu and the other guys..

Yes, see http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/setpages/dmg.html

The Type V and Type VI demons are named in the Appendix E XP Values section, under the respective demon entries.

So's the Type IV.

thanks guys, that was very helpfull!


any reason why they use the name balor for all of them, later?

Probably because the Type IV-VI demons were named "Nalfeshnee, etc.", "Marilith, etc." and "Balor, etc." in the 1e MM1. The 2e designers probably figured that, to keep it simple, they'd go with the first name in the series rather than making the Type IV Maelfesh, the Type V [insert name here], and the Type VI Errtu. Also, "Balor" is the closest in the list to the demon's inspiration...

So that leaves Alzoll available for someone to use for a future Easter Egg, eh?

one might think so, yes.

So's the Type IV.

Thanks for the correction ruleslawyer: I didn't recall offhand if Type 4s were named there or not, and erred on the side of caution
