Thread Title : Mystaran Demons

Following the discussion on the MMV thread (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=895713), I've dug out an old document that I was working on to give Mystaran type names to the rest of WotC's demons. As usual I got side tracked so any help filling in the gaps would be great. :)


Planar (Tanar'ri) Name	Mystaran Name (1)	Option 2 (2)		Option 3 (3)	

Monster Manual			
Vrock			Screaming demon		Air fiend		Winged Fury
Hezrou			Croaking demon		Swamp fiend		Gobbler
Glabrezu		Howling demon		Fiery fiend		Four-armed Horror
Nalfeshnee		Groaning demon		Forest fiend		Biter
Marilith		Hissing demon		Water fiend		Destroyer
Balor			Roaring demon		Mountain fiend		Manslayer
Succubus		Whispering demon	????			Charmer, Grey Deceiver
Babau			????			????			Ebony Death, One-horned Horror
Bebilith		????			????			????
Dretch			????			????			????

Jarilith		????			????			????
Jovoc			????			????			????

Palrethee		????			????			????
Zovvut			????			????			????

Monster Manual III

Sorrowsworn Demon	????			????			????
			
Fiend Folio
Alkilith		????			????			????
Blood Fiend		????			????			????
Klurichir		????			????			????
Maurezhi		????			????			????
Myrmyxicus		????			????			????
Skuluyn			????			????			????
Wastrilith		????			Ocean fiend		Water Lord

Fiendish Codex I			
Armanite		????			????			????
Bar-lgura		Leaping demon		Jungle fiend		????
Broodswarm		????			????			????
Bulezau			????			????			????
Chasme			Buzzing demon		????			????
Dybbuk			????			????			????
Ekolid			????			????			????
Garistro		????			????			????
Guecubu			????			????			????
Lilitu			????			????			????
Mane			????			????			????
Molydeus		????			????			????
Nabassu			????			????			Death Stealer
Rutterkin		????			????			????
Sibriex			????			????			????
Yochlol			????			????			????

Expanded Psionics Handbook			
Cerebrilith		????			????			????
			
Draconomicon			
Abyssal Drake		????			????			????

Miniatures Handbook			
Abyssal Eviscerator	????			????			????


Notes:
1. These would appear to be based on the sound of the demon or perhaps it's movement.
2. These appear to be based on the demons prefered habitat or where it is usually found.
3. These appear to be based on the description of the demon, or perhaps, it's role.
4. For the moment I've left the official WotC name in the Tanar'ri column - obviously some names such as the Arrow Demon should be moved to different columns.
5. For the moment I've left the non-tanar'ri demons in but I do like Morphail's idea of making the Obyriths outer beings.

Interesting idea.

Some initial thoughts:

Quasit - Cackling or Sniggering Demon (maybe I confuse them with Imps too much, but my impression of them is as plotting, conniving sorts with a vicious sense of humor)

Bebilith - Silent or Creeping Demon, 8 Legged Terror/Horror

There are also the red and blue imps that are kinda different from both quasit and 3e imp.

One other thing I forgot to add- my inclination is to disregard any naming conventions for the Retriever. For one thing, it's a construct, not a demon (though admittedly a demonic construct, one of their agents). For another, it doesn't even have a "true" demonic name itself, just being referred to as "Retriever".

Which made me wonder. Are there any Retrievers made of gold? And what do people call them? ;)

Anyways, this is a good thread idea. Sorry I dont have anything constructive to add right now :)
