As I didn't devise either of those monsters, I had no input on their appearance. Hoiwever, I concur in regards the appearance of each being similar to theCreature from the Black Lagoon. Of course any aquatic humanoid would bear paonts or resemblance to it.Thurbane said:The Creature From the Black Lagoon seems to be superficially quite similar to the Sahuagin and Locathah in appearance...
Also, is the name Gnoll derived from Lord Dunsany's Gnole?
The name inspiration for the gnoll came from the short story in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, "The Man Who Sold Rope to the Gnoles." Blamed if I can now recall the actual author of that piece.
Cheerio,
Gary
