I'll look into that one later.

He did. His major ability was that he had two forms, one representing his angelic side, and one representing his demonic side (both were evil). You had to kill both forms (treated as separate monsters) on his layer of the Abyss to permanently kill him. He had quite a few other powers, and a weapon that was an artifact also.

when i do submit my proposals, i think i'll go for some of the more obscure fellows and see what happens.

Okay, here we go. Here's his status about the part of the Abyss he rules over: "This dangerous Abyssal denizen has been growing in power and influence for the past few centuries. He now holds sway over the 493rd layer of the Abyss, a small, loathsome place with few inhabitants or resources." He's featured in the adventure because a wizard sold his soul to Siragle...and several other beings.

Here are his stats:

Siragle is a major Abyssal fiend whose form is an unsettling humanoid/reptile blend. He stands 8-1/2' tall and has the head of a crocodile crowned with sharp black antlers. His body is that of a huge, muscular human, a full 3' wide. His eyes are a solid blood-red, his numerous teeth are black as soot, and his 5'-long tail trails behind him, ending in a daggerlike yellowed ivory stinger. His feet and hands sport vicious claws, and his leathery, muscled body is blackish-green.

Skilled at magic, Siragle can perform the following spell-like abilities as a 20th-level caster. At will: detect magic, detect invisible, darkness 10' radius, infravision, know alignment, fly, dispel magic; three times/day: invisibility, polymorph self, shout, suggestion, plane shift, teleport; once/day: chaos, gate 2d4 chasmes (45% chance); once/week: mass charm, forcecage. He is also able to utilize wizard scrolls and frequently has some in his possession, but not this time.

Siragle has a strength of 19 (+3 to hit, +7 to damage). If he hits with both claw attacks (2-8/2-8 hp damage plus strength bonus), his bite (2-12 hp damage) and tail stinger (3 hp damage) hit automatically. Under such circumstances, the stinger has a 45% chance of draining one life level from the victim and transferring a corresponding number of hit points to Siragle (dice type determined by the victim's character class), though Siragle can never receive more than his original number of hit points. He is capable of wielding a weapon rather than using claw attacks, but has not brought a weapon with him.

Siragle saves as a 16th-level fighter or wizard, whichever is better. If a battle goes poorly for him and he is reduced to one-quarter of his original hit points, he will try to use his plane shift spell to escape or use whatever other means are available to get him to safety. If Siragle is driven off by the adventurers, he will definately hold a grudge. If slain, he will re-form on his home plane in one year, whereupon he will do all he can to make life unpleasant for his slayers.

nice. very little-known fellow.

BOZ, also, don't forget about Sch'theraqpasstt, from Dragon #151. He was a yuan-ti lesser deity who tried to merge with the Abyss. The experience almost destroyed him, however, and he shunted what little was left of his essence into a body he made, becoming a major demon.

This guy is maybe the 3rd Demon Prince ever mentioned in D&D in supplement III Eldritch Wizardry (The same one that introduced us to Orcus & Demogorgon). On p.43 in the entry on the Codex of the Infinite Planes, it makes mention of the Demon Prince Nql.

Just a name, no stats, and I don't recall the fiend being mentioned anywhere else ever again.

Such a mystery that the 3rd named Demon Prince in D&D has never been seen again in print.
