[QUOTE="Ripzerai, post: 5618750, member: 38324"] Perhaps, but I'd argue that Malcanthet and Pale Night were among the most important additions to the canon. Malcanthet has disappeared in 4e and Pale Night is only incidentally mentioned in the present edition, but for a brief period Malcanthet seemed as important as any of the classic demon princes, and Pale Night given as prominent a place in [i]Fiendish Codex I[/i]. His name is spelled three different ways, but Sess'innek (with a lower-case letter 'i') is by far the most common. In [i]Monster Mythology[/i], the demon lord is called "Sess'innek" eight times, "Sess'inek" once (in the table of contents), and "Sess'Innek" once (in the title of his entry). In [i]On Hallowed Ground[/i], his name is always spelled "Sess'innek" (in the index and on page 49). In [i]Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss[/i], his name is spelled "Sess'Innek" once and "Sess'inek" once (both on page 156). In [i]Planes of Chaos[/i], his name is spelled "Sess'inek" three times (once in the Book of Chaos, page 20, and twice on the poster map). In [i]Serpent Kingdoms[/i], his name is spelled "Sess'innek" twenty times. I'm pretty sure Sess'inek and Sess'Innek are both typos that were mistakenly repeated in later sources, but all the variations are official. No, that's Sertrous, who is an obyrith demon lord. The exceptions would be Graz'zt and Pazrael, who had full combat statistics in [i]Planes of Chaos[/i]. Of course, these were copied from their stats in [i]Iuz the Evil[/i] by Carl Sargent. [/QUOTE]
