It has a prestige class for the slaadi: Slaad Brooder.<br /><br />Also, the Planar Handbook mentions a group of Death Slaadi called the Pale Raiders who exist on the Negative Material Plane in the Sargasso of Entropy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-87436613618218864352018-01-09T20:40:25.254-08:002018-01-09T20:40:25.254-08:00Fantastic article!

Demonomicon introduces the female slaad lord Urae-Naas (seriously, that's her name). She was the consort of Ramenos until he died, and now she lives inside his gigantic corpse. She's too fat to move without dragging herself along Ramenos' innards, but her tongue is extremely long and prehensile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-48294351253221221682017-05-23T15:44:43.162-07:002017-05-23T15:44:43.162-07:00I, too, was looking for Slaadi info for my campaig...I, too, was looking for Slaadi info for my campaign.

This is the f...Thank you so much for this article!<br /><br />This is the first article I found of your blog, because it was one of the top links that came up when I went to research Slaadi for my homebrew world/campaign. It is surprising how difficult it can be to find this stuff (especially when AD&D material).<br /><br />My homebrew world was inspired by the 5th Editions Monster Manual Slaadi lore that states that Primus created the Spawning Stone and not the two Slaad Lords (which makes more since IMO). It is a mix of both Mechanus' and Limbo's influence on the "Primal Material," warring with each other while the heroes are stuck in the middle trying to stop it from destroying their world.Scotty Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02339397921704101509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-61949675068875274822017-01-18T09:48:03.338-08:002017-01-18T09:48:03.338-08:00"For a while there it seems like the designer..."For a while there it seems like the designers were throwing stuff at a wall and seeing what stuck."<br /><br />What better way to design creatures of ultimate chaos?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-29499996243284501422015-07-13T15:21:47.473-07:002015-07-13T15:21:47.473-07:00Dudley: Thanks!

The Slaadi represent Chaotic Neutral and are native to the Chaotic Neutral plane of Limbo. Considering that, it seems strange that the most powerful Slaad Lords all have weird and different forms while the rest of the race is locked into a very orderly progression of colored toad-like shapes.<br /><br />The big discovery is that in the distant past all Slaad were born with different, random forms, and with different, random power levels as well. Two of the most powerful Slaad, the Slaad Lords Ssendam and Ygorl, feared that one day a random mutation would create a slaad powerful enough to challenge their power, so they created the Spawning Stone to limit the rest of their race by imposing order on it. Random mutations still happen occasionally though, and they are hunted down and hidden away. <br /><br />It's a big secret because imposing order on the rest of the Slaad like that is considered a terrible anathema.Bronkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037864167096222349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-78010718903088046572015-07-02T00:16:41.869-07:002015-07-02T00:16:41.869-07:00Thanks!
