The Otyugh was a plant in this poll, anyway.

I dont get what this means. Perhaps because english is not my first language.

(On a side note i hate the otyugh)

The Eye of the Beholder duology was really my entry point into AD&D, so I am plenty happy with the outcome

Colloquially, “a plant” is used to describe someone intentionally placed (or “planted”) into a group for a specific purpose. It’s often used in the context of magic shows, for example, when someone working for the magician poses as a member of the audience to be “randomly” chosen to participate in a trick. I’m not positive what a plant would be in the context of a poll though. Maybe a candidate who was never meant to be a serious competitor, just to draw votes away from the actually competitive candidates?

ah. in that case some of the subtypes for some of the candidates were very effective in this. they certainly soaked up some votes that otherwise likely would have gone to the base models.

thankyou for your elucidating post. very helpful.
