The Order of the Stick has just shown an old favorite of mine from the AD&D Monster Manual II.
A Quinton and a few Monodrones.
MM2 has a few things like that, detailing the things that inhabit and run the outer planes.
If you think about it, the original Monster Manual has that too with Devils and Demons.
If you think too hard about it, Deities and Demigods is where this extraplanar stuff should have been and E Gary should have been working hard at detailing HIS world's gods instead of cribbing from myth and literature.
By the time they got done it was renamed Legends and Lore to mollify The-Entirely-Too-Loud-To-Be-Silent-And-Not-Near-Numerous-Enough-To-Be-A-Majority religious fanatics and all the gods from literature had been stripped.
I had thought to get the books with the Modrons for AD&D 2e from Drive-Thru RPG, but I can't seem to be able to determine WHAT book they're in. Perhaps the Planescape campaign boxed set?
It should be in MC8 the outer planes appendix of the Monstrous Compendium but I'll double check when I get home.

On research it appears they were in a Monstrous Compendium supplement that came in the Planescape boxed set..
ReplyDeleteISTR they were in the original AD&D Monster Manual II. And I heard that TSR also got flak from the Hindu community for using their gods "as playthings." (Fair's fair! "As private parts are we to the gods; they play with us for their sport.")
