Does anybody know anything about official Avangions that migth of came out in old 2e DS other than Oronis that exist on Athas?

Before the revised DS box, there was supposed to be none and than Oronis of Kurn pops up. I know also that Abalach-Re also poses as one in FMaker, but other than that, are there any more?

There was Meriad (sp?) and Korganard. They both learned the metamorphsis from Oronis. Both are also dead.

FY -539 Oronis (the Champion formerly known as Keltis) first comes into the picture by developping the avangion metamorphosis process, which he uses on himself.
(Defilers & Preservers; Wanderer's Chronicle; Timeline)

FY -462 Nerad receives avangion metamorphosis spell from Oronis and becomes Athas' second avangion. But later, after revealing himself to the Veiled Alliance of Tyr, Nerad is discovered by King Kalak - who in turn contacts the Dragon. Borys later kills Nerad. In his grief, Oronis hides all copies of the spell.
(Book of Artifacts; Timeline)

FY -1 After years of investigation into the death of Nerad, Korgunard learns of Oronis. Though reluctant to have another death on his hands, Oronis gives him the spell.
(Timeline)

FY 2 Aided by the Veiled Alliance of Urik, Korgunard becomes Athas's third avangion.
(Arcane Shadows; Timeline)

FY 4 The avangion Korgunard is slain by members of the Order.
(Dragon Crown; Timeline)

FY ? Amiska becomes Athas' fourth avangion. Hamanu sends a templar through the wastes to the creature, so his power can bridge the distance and destroy it. The templar turns on his king and saves the avangion.

First I've heard of Amiska. I'm assuming this is something from a novel?

It's from Lynn Abbey's short story in the adventure module "Black Flames".

I liked the story, but the avangion indeed isn't mentioned anywhere else.
