Help me track down these monsters...

Pants

First Post
I'm looking for pre-3e sources that the following monsters appeared in.

Maharajah Rakshasa
Rajah Rakshasas
The Altroloths (Typhus, Bubonix, Anthraxus, Cholerix, Taba, Charon/Cerlic, etc.)

Specifically, I'm looking for stats for these guys, though any info would be helpful. :)

I know there was a Rakshasha Maharaja in a 2nd Ed. Dungeon adventure. I think his name was even mentioned in the Manual of the Planes in the description of the plane of shadow. I can't remember the issue number, but he was on the cover. He had 5 heads, I think one was human, one was praying mantis, one was ape, ....
I played that adventure. When we encountered him we had no idea what he was, but he was way tough.

Could that have been the adventure "Twilight's Last Gleaming" in Dungeon #35, written by none other than James Jacobs (now Managing Editor of the magazine) himself? I'm not certain, since I never got that issue.

i think those other rakshasa were in Dragon... check the CC forum's Dragon index.

I don't think these are quite the same (or maybe they are):

The Rakshasa Knight and Rakshasa Lord are in Dragon #84 "Never the Same Thing Twice". Likewise, Dungeon #60 has the Greater Rakshasa (Rakshasa Rukh), but that seems to be it for the magazines.
