Shei-Nad It's the former according to the WJ and PP novels, so we went with that version. The latter will still be represented but called a boneclaw.

The Inix looks like it's got an armor upgrade or two! ;) I went with the second look for the Mekillot though. More flashy, for one thing, but the main argument is that a drik looks a lot like the old mekillot anyways, and serves in similar fashions. So the two looks exist.

Braxat is the biped weirdo, while baazrag is a lame dog-like lizard.

Incorrect. The baazrag had two incarnations of itself. One in the PP which was a hunched, upright walking humanoid that faintly resembles a wookie. The other was a dog-like creature featured in DSMM2 Terrors of Athas. Both will make it into ToA, however the dog-like one will be called a boneclaw instead, since that was it's second name. The Braxat is a huge, armored humanoid with a nasty, acidic breath weapon and a bad attitude.

Alrighty, didn't recall the Baazrag from the PP.
