[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 2870960, member: 1241"] i didn't need the art to sell the book to me, but it sure doesn't hurt. :D glad to see Orcus put some weight back on, and demogorgon got his heads on straight. ;) yep, Zugg's appearance was retooled using the image from the ToEE PC game. at first i was like, "what? she's supposed to be butt-ugly mo-fugly!" but then, well, the new look kind of grew on me. like a fungus. yep, that does make sense. at first i thought Argolcheir and Zanassu were skipped because they were FR lords, but then Eltab is listed, so i realized it must just be that they're dead. ;) maybe they will get a mention somewhere else in the book - Zanassu at least? it won't be a major thing if they're not mentioned though. if not, it sure would be a strange omission... perhaps, but not necessarily. i mean, Orcus, Demogorgon, Dagon, and a number of others were named after real-world gods. i guess the authors and/or editors decided to simplify matters in this case, though. ;) indeed! i just want to know how to pronounce it. :) "uncool"? "nickwill"? "inkwell"? "nah-quell"? "NyQuil"? ;) indeed! ;) i'm pretty sure the original text said "Demon" rather than "Fiend". just remember, at that time in TSR's history certain texts were being called the "Fiendomicon of Iggwilv". :( just breaks your heart...
