[4e] MM2 Cover up on Amazon

Looks like Demogorgon is the next Big Solo Baddie to get a writeup. (Yeah, I know that cover art might change, but still.)

I wonder if this will be a trend of the 4e MMs -- to have a big solo demon be the "signature piece" of each book.

Damn shame that with some emphasis on making things more 1st ed like that all the "great" demon princes and devil lords are being doled out on an individual level.

Maybe Manual of the Planes will have something to remedy that.

Re: [4e] MM2 Cover up on Amazon

There seems to be a pattern. For the MM3: Cerberus. What has four heads to go on the MM4 cover?

(Also, mandrill heads this edition. Wikipedia says that's just right, but didn't he have baboon heads at some point?)

I think someone from WotC has confirmed two demon princes and an archdevil, among other things, for that book.

Mandrills are baboons. Sorta. The heads were baboony in 1e, briefly hyena in 3e, then back to baboony. Baldur's Gate 2 was the first time I saw Demogorgon with mandrill coloration, which was popularized by Paizo Publishing's run on Dragon and Dungeon.

Ok, so I don't know anything about D&D tradition, but... a two-headed day-glo hentai baboon? Seriously? Seriously?

Since most people cannot fathom why someone would give up male privilege and power in order to become a relatively disempowered female, they assume that trans women transition primarily as a way of obtaining the one type of power that women are perceived to have in our society: the ability to express femininity and attract men. This is why trans women like myself, who rarely dress in an overly feminine manner and/or who are not attracted to men, are such an enigma to many people. By assuming that my desire to be female is merely some sort of femininity fetish or sexual perversion, they are essentially making the case that women have no worth beyond the extent to which they can be sexualized.

Well, the color's a bit garish, but the rest is the way he/she* has always looked.

Demogorgon is actually a 'she' in BECMI, and favors the alternate form of an innocent-looking little girl.
