[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7015821, member: 20323"] Did you get to run your session yet? If not, we had a very interesting brainstorm on native species for multiple planes, including Pandemonium [url=http://www.planewalker.com/content/17-planar-species-reimagining]over here[/url]. I've also converted a few planar monsters, two of which can be [url=http://www.planewalker.com/content/monster-conversions-5th-edition]found here[/url] that fit Pandemonium are the Maelephant (a 8 fiend with ambiguous origins) which might be portal guards, and the Widdershins (a CR 9 fey I made up for the Court of Air and Darkness) which might be accompanied by yeth hounds (VOLO'S GUIDE). Let's see, I have some scattered notes on adventuring in Pandemonium too...
