Yeah, thats something that Mystara GMs will have to change if they are using this book, or all kinds of silly confusions would ensue.

According to my compiled list of planes, the Realm of Orcus is called Ossia, a non-canon name suggested by James Mishler.

IIRC there was an illustration of him/her in the Immortals set.

Yes, there was indeed an illustration of Demogorgon and Orcus in the Gold Box Immortals Set. Demogorgon's head looked more Gorilla-ish there than the Chimpanzee look he seems to have been given in 3E.

the Chimpanzee look

Those are actually mandrill heads. The Immortals Set version does make him make him more apelike; the current 3e version is based on the AD&D version, where his heads were explicitly mandrills or baboons.

Thanks!
In the case of Immortals, it doesn't really bother me that there are some contradictions in descriptions/illustrations. Altering their appearance doesnt really take much of an effort from these guys does it?
