[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 4666700, member: 326"] Hey all! :) Demogorgon is cool, cooler than Orcus and probably one of D&D's most iconic villains/monsters. Demons always make for a much cooler bad guys simply because visually they were more varied in appearance than say devils, or even daemons. I hear a lot of people saying otherwise in this thread without suggesting something better...and yes I read Shemeska's list...it was laughable. ...and I agree with Mouseferatu, Anthraxus is much cooler than Mydianchlarus. :p I do wonder who will be on the cover of future Monster Manuals though? I mean Vecna is in Open Grave, Tiamat was in the Draconomicon. Of the great iconic D&D monsters there can't be many left. I do like the idea that perhaps the third book would have a three headed monster (Cerberus?) and so on. Though with Tiamat out of the picture for Monster Manual 5 I don't see that idea gaining much mileage. As to the cover of MM2 itself, I like the visual look of Demogorgon, but it does seem as if he's posing for the 'camera' rather than about to lay a smackdown on someone. So for something so threatening, he doesn't appear very threatening. Still a nice cover though...but Demogorgon shouldn't be nice. [/QUOTE]
