How would people suggest building Demodragon (http://www.dungeonsdragonscartoon.com/2009/07/demodragon.html) using 3.X legal rules?

The tentacles can be done through half-farspawn, but not sure how to get a red and blue (or white) dragon head on the same body? The Multiheaded template doesn't seem to allow for mix-n-matching heads.

Maybe Multiheaded Half-Farspawn Half-blue Red Dragon?

Dungeon #147 has the stats there, if you wanna look at that source.

Does it use fire and lightning, or fire and ice?

Look at his hooves, I wouldn't use Dragon, as it clearly has no claw attacks and no wings. Half-Farspawn has only two tentacles, that guy has many tentacles. I'd say a Hydra would be more fitting for the base creature, but replace all but two of its heads with tentacles and give it a +2 CR increase for one Cryo-head and one Pyro-head. Make each head's breath weapon deal 3d6 damage per half its original number of heads, so its total breath damage is still equal what a normal pyro- or cryo-hydra of its original number of heads would deal.

Note that it would be incredibly vulnerable to having its heads severed. I would require 5 fire damage (not acid) to stop the Cryo-head from regrowing but give it fire resistance 30, and require 5 cold damage (not acid) to stop the Pyro-head from regrowing and give it cold resistance 30. The body would still be immune to both elements per Pyro- and Cryo-Hydra. A severed tentacle would grow back two unless 5 acid damage were dealt to the stump.

Hey, it was the first thing that came to mind.

You could use the Multiheaded template with the Monster of Legend of template to get a two-headed monster with two different breath weapons. Can't think of a way to get more tentacles off the top of my head.

Fire and ice, although the heads are clearly red and blue.

Cool, I'll look into that.

But I'd also still be interested in building my own version too.

Two usable tentacles would be sufficient for me, but more would be good.
