Guinea Pigs and if so does the one at the end with the glowing red eyes have the Fiendish Template?Curiouser and curiouser.They did love their ephemeral enemies in the OD&D Immortals game. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />My character actually killed one once (Or at least a veritable carbon copy of one; we were playing AD&D not OD&D).It was sucking Oerths magic force (yes the planet). So we had to retrieve an artifact from a sect of Incabulos worshippers called the Cult of the All Destroying Stone who also had Talos (the triple iron golem) as a guardian. Incabulos didn't take too kindly to a couple of (then) Demigods gatecrashing his temple and decided to show up himself, fortunately Incabulos 1st Ed. stats were fairly flimsy for a Greater God (thanks for that Gary! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ). So, to cut a long story short we triumphed (with casualties) and gained the Stone (one of the fabled Stones of Amplification; akin to the giant meteor under Castle Greyhawk that Zagig used to imprison various Demigods). The plan was to throw the stone into the beast which would try to drain the stone and overload. Of course we had to get close enough for it to work and we also needed someone to draw off the creatures attacks to give my character a chance. So we recruited the Norse Pantheon (of which my character was a member) and we gated to within a safe distance and attacked (in a scene similar to the Battle of Yavin I imagine), as we approached tentacle attacks were taking out Norse Gods left, right and centre. Luckily my character survived the initial attack and perhaps its my rose tinted nostalgia but I could swear Tyr (one of the few remaining Gods) said "your all clear kid now lets blow this thing and go home!". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Of course when my character was later asking Mordenkainen for aid during the Greyhawk Wars and played the "I saved your whole planet card" Mordie accused him of "Blowing his own trumpet". Fortunately for him my character was Lawful good even though slaying the archmage on the spot for such an afront crossed my mind, <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" /></blockquote>
