Monsters: Dungeon Magazine Demons

Monsters: Dungeon Magazine Demons

Browsing through the various Dungeon Magazine issues, I managed to find five demons that have not been printed in any other books. So, let's convert them for completionism's sake. Now I have converted all the 3.5 demo- ah, dammit, I forgot Dragonlance Campaign Setting and the demon lord aspects.

It is possible to make the cone wider by using the rules from Cones of Power (GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons, p. 10).

  1. I like the Orlath.

    If you're looking to round up ones you've overlooked, there are a bunch of monsters specific to Pathfinder / Golarion (some in bestiaries, some in adventure paths), including pathfinder-specific fiends - and there's also the two "bestiary of the realms" books that are only on candlekeep (but are free), and I want to say they include some creatures that didn't show up in other 3e books, that they updated from 2e or wrote up from the novels. There are also a handful of monsters in the various 3e FR books, I don't know if you've gotten all of those (I know you got some of them), but almost every 3e FR book seemed to have some monsters in it, not just monsters of faerun.

    1. There are many new demons in PF, that's for sure. As for the pre-3e D&D, there's only ~8 or so that I haven't converted yet.
