Hey Olive mate!

I already did thanks, looks very good; although I don't understand why it wields scythes underwater, a little impractical I thought.

But it looks interesting, and I like the art they have shown!

Hey, UK,

As Olive kindly pointed here, there are actually two epic monsters (Klurichir & Myrmyxicus). Both are Tanar'ri demons.

There are also three creatures that refers to Deities & Demigods (Bacchae, Flame Snake, and Jackal Lord). The Jackal Lord at least must have a divine rank within the D&Dg rules.

actually none of them have divine rank i'm afraind. All three monsters are mentioned as serving various gods (Dyonesis, Anubis and set respectively)

Ah... I thought the Jackal Lord to be one of the Animal Lords of old Planescape.

Or a Jackel with the Beast Lord Template from The Shaman's Handbook.

in 1E, the flame snakes served Apep not Anubis. did that change?

IMO:

Bacchae --> Dyonisos
Flame Snake --> Set
Jackal Lord --> Anubis

in PS, bacche weren't so much servants of dionysus, as they were "possessed by the spirit of dionysus" to go out and do all sorts of chaotic thing. they may very well have served the will of the god, but it may not even have been a conscious thing.
