Less humanoid than Grazzt and Orcus, more alien and just more in tune with my ideas of the Abyss in general. Two personalities in constant friction locked within the same body was just cool, even if it's not in the old school sources (ok most of the detail for most of the archfiends isn't in the early stuff). And as heretical as it might be to say so, I actually liked the art error in the BoVD that gave him a pair of hyena heads.For not just old school stuff, it's Pale Night. McComb's description of her as this enigmatic, hollow -thing- wrapped in a gauzy veil was beyond creepy, even when written from the IC perspective of Xanxost the green slaad. Mona and Jacobs added an even stronger Lovecraftian element in FC:I, making her shroud not so much a physical object than a defect in the structure of the planes themselves when exposed to her true form. That's made of awesome.</blockquote>
