Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

[Shade]

BOZ gave me the go-ahead to lead some conversion threads while he focuses on the Dukes of Hell. Here's one I've been dying to do for several years.

Death Demon
Armor Class: 4
Hit Dice: 7**
Move: 90' (30') Fly 180' (60')
Attacks: 3
Damage: 1-4/1-4/2-8 +special
No. Appearing: 1-4
Save As: Fighter 7
Morale: 10
Treasure Type: E
Alignment: Chaotic

Death demons, also known as Ostegos, appear as 10' tall gaunt, hairless humanoids with gray scaly skin. Ivory fangs protrude from their mouths and their fingers are tipped with adamantine talons. Their eyes glow like smoldering coals and two huge bat-like wings
grow out of their back.

Death demons attack with their claws and fangs. Any creature struck by its claw must save vs. Paralysis or be paralyzed for 2-8 turns. Any creature bitten by a death demon must save vs. Poison at -2 or die.

Death demons also have infravision, 60 range, and the abilities to teleport with no error and cause darkness, 10 radius.

Echohawk's index shows that it also appeared in AC9, DMR2, and Twilight of the Dawn. Can someone with these sources handy post any differences in these stats?

i can try to do that when i get the chance. i don't know what Twilight of the Dawn is, and i doubt that i have it.

It's Cthulhudrew's Mystara website and the stats are for a 3.5e version.

Thanks, guys. It appears we only need AC9 and DMR2, then.

 

[Echohawk]

AC9 looks nearly identical, but includes:

• XP Value: 1250

DMR2 also lists this XP value, plus a few other minor additions:

• Hit Dice: 7** (L)
• Intelligence: 8
• Monster Type: Planar Monster (Very Rare)

Twilight of Dawn isn't an official product, but the name of the fan site where this conversion appears.

Great, thanks!

In that case, we should be able to get going on this.

First off, do we make it tanar'ri, or leave it as an untyped demon? The flavor text is so light that we've got plenty of wiggle room.

 

[Mortis]

Great, thanks!

Yeah saves me a job.

I'd go untyped there are enough tanar'ri around. Or perhaps one or the other types from FC I?

[BOZ]

[Angel Tarragon]
