I feel that book will get a re-release online once they transition to OneD&D or whatever, because as we have seen in later releases like Monsters of the Multiverse, they went back on the "any alignment" thing, only keeping that for humanoid races, most other creatures are "usually this and that alignment" and NPCs now have a set alignment. Spelljammer was sadly, heavy on mechanics and light on lore. But Planescape does not have super confusing rules (there are portals and maybe the magic changes in the Outlands and that is it) so I am hoping this book is more heavy on lore. Fizban's certainly was.LOL that is a good one.Indeed it probably changes every day.Though I'd wager on most days, the plural of Slaad is "Oh sweet Primus there are MORE of them?" followed by screams. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />They are probably going to  be associated with Chronepsis now. Seeing as he is a Greatwyrm in 5E, probably they are his children.Apparently until now Time Dragons only existed in 3E, the new artwork for them looks quite different from that - there they looked like White Dragons with a domino mask and stripes.But it is not rigid at all. In fact hierarchy among Slaadi is completely chaotic. It isn't like Devils who advance from a lower form to a higher one.For starters, the Red and Blue Slaadi both have reproduction methods that spawn a Slaad of the OTHER color. Does not make it better that Red and Blue Slaadi tend to dislike each other.Green Slaadi can happen as an accident in the above reproduction system, if the human infected was a spellcaster of high enough level. So it is again, completely random. It only gets more orderly after that, since Green Slaadi can grow more powerful and become Gray and then Death Slaadi. But your average Red and Blue Slaad will never advance further. Also, last I checked, the powerful Slaadi don't really command the lower ones, they are mostly doing their own thing. It's not even like with Demons where the stronger ones press the weaker ones into their service.</blockquote>
