[QUOTE="Kain_Darkwind, post: 9606581, member: 7042832"] The marilith 2025 looks disappointingly low quality. I don't care for the change in art direction, but even with that in mind, it doesn't appear to be a good example of 'monstrous, non-female marilith'. It has all the characteristics of the least memorable pieces from the 4e MM. As for the larger 'should there be X' discussion, the obvious answer is 'depends on the table', but I think the attempt to rid the game of human trait looking demons is misguided. It didn't make a lot of sense in 4e and no one has come up with any better reasons in the interim. If you wanted to go in a direction that doesn't seem to have had a lot of examples, adjusting the human to look like a different race than 'white' would be easy enough. Or give the face more serpentine features, or rock out snake hair like a gorgon. Not this...generic slugbug disappointment. Also, for what it is worth, if you really wanted something monstrous looking, a demon with six human woman legs and the upper body of a serpent would be great. [/QUOTE]
