Thoughts on Fleshing out the Plane of Entropy

by Håvard

Hey, I've been looking at various evil deities lately and have been comparing them to what is found in various non-Mystara D&D stuff. One of the books I've been looking at is the Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss.

Useful threads:
Immortal Equivalents of 4E deities?
Shared Greyhawk/Mystara Elements

I figured we can use the Abyss as inspiration for fleshing out the Plane of Entropy aka Pyts. Which Mystaran immortals are the equivalents to those from the Fiendish Codex? This is what I have so far...

Baphomet, Prince of Beasts
The Codex Immortalis has an obscure Immortal called Kiranjo as a lord of Minotaurs, but I can't find a full description of him, so I'm not sure where Marco got that one from?

Dagon Prince of Depths
Saasskas the Destroyer, the patron of the Devilfish seems like a good candidate.

Demogorgon
Well, Demogorgon is easy, since we already have Demogorgon.

Fraz-Urb'luu Prince of Deception.
Could Bozdogan aka Loki be a good replacement?

Graz'zt The Dark Prince
One of the things that I find interesting about Graz'zt is the three way rivalry between him, Orcus and Demogorgon. In Mystara, this rivalry seems to be between Alphaks, Demogorgon and Orcus.

Jubliex, the Faceless Lord
I've always seen Jammudaru/Vaprak as a good equivalent for Jubliex

Kostchtchie, Prince of Wrath
Not sure. How about Yagrai (He-who-always-rises)? Or possibly Bagni Gullymaw?

Malanchet, Queen of the Succubi
Talitha

Obox-Ob, Prince of Vermin
Mrikitat, the Patron of Were-rats could work here, though technically he is not an Entropic Immortal, belonging to the Sphere of Time.

Orcus, Prince of the Undead
Orcus we already have.

Pale Night, Mother of Demons
Nyx?

Pazuzu, Prince of the Lower Aerial Kingdoms
I have no particularly good candidate for this one?

Yeenoghu, Prince of Gnolls
Ranivorous is already known by the name Yeenoghu.

Zuggtmoy, Lady of Fungi
I have no particularly good candidate for this one.
