[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 4891908, member: 7635"] D&D has a long, illustrious career or ripping of... er, borrowing from myth and fiction. When it came time to fill out the planes (a long time ago) many names for demons, devils, and deities came from myth and legend. Stands to reason those names aren't IP, right? I'm trying to figure out which Demons, Devils, Celestials, Elemental Lords, and Deities are based on real myth and therefore not IP (as opposed to say, Pelor or Lolth). So Far, I got Bahamut Tiamat Asmodeus Beezelbulb Mephisopholies Mammon Moloch Orcus Pazuzu Oberon Titania Now, I got plenty I'm not sure about: Greyon, Belial, and Levistus (and any other dukes of hell) Jubiliex, Demogorgon, Baphomet, (and most of the demon lords) All the elemental lords (Imix, Yan-C-Bin, etc) Any of the Celestial Lords (Domeril, etc) Other Deities like Bahamut that have a real-world origin I'm pretty good on the classic myths (Greek, Roman, Norse, Celtic, Egyptian) but I'd be interested in obscure uses as well.
