Best resources for the Slaad?

[Mercurial891]

I am currently looking up all things related to the Slaad, but what are the best books or magazine issues to research?

[Dalmosh]

In terms of 3.5 books....
Manual of the Planes: Explores Limbo, the Spawning Stone, and briefly covers Ygorl and Ssendam

Savage Species: Provides the Slaad Brooder prestige class, and monster classes for red, blue and green Slaadi

Epic Level Handbook: Outlines the Black and White Slaadi, the highest forms Slaadi can take under the constraints of the Spawning Stone

Champions of Ruin: Details (and stats out) a 3rd Slaad Lord, Bazim-Gorag the Firebringer

Fiend Folio: Provides the lowest slaad caste; the Mud Slaad

Other minor bits and bobs.
Magic Item Compendium: Item/Shirt of Slaadskin, treated slaad hide shirt that gives DR vs lawful.
MM2: Chaond is a planetouched often resulting from slaad ancestry
Unearthed Arcana: Explains a bit more about how Chaonds might arise, and provides the Slaad Bloodline progression
Libris Mortis: Entropic Reapers are implied to be associated with Ygorl.

I don't know much about older systems, but 2nd ed. Faces of Evil is partly narrated by a Blue Slaad named Xanxost.

There's quite a lot of info on the Forgotten Realms wiki (https://www.google.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fforgottenrealms.fandom.com% 2F&sxsrf=AOaemvJ7VtgL8X4tfcSvcdBkqn5Wc3qb9A%3A1632624 830758&source=hp&ei=vuBPYen_KtK0qtsP6-2iyAQ&iflsig=ALs-wAMAAAAAYU_uzjH3lCNNLPfzIQEoL1TwZj86onEI&oq=https%3A%2F%2Fforgottenrealms.fandom.com%2F&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAM6BQghEKsCUOgBWL0NYM0PaAFwAHg AgAFJiAGRAZIBATKYAQCgAQKgAQE&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwjp1te40ZvzAhVSmmoFHeu2CEkQ4dUDCAo&uact=5).

Are you aware of afroakuma's planar question threads? If there's canon or reasonable derivative, it's probably there.

Or, ya know, just go straight to their limbo homebrew thread (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?92837-Limbo-4-0-(3-5-PEACH)-COMPLETE), with a bunch of new slaad, slaad lords, and fluff (a bunch of which the comments suggest is adapted from older canon). It's old enough that the tables are all broken but otherwise I'm sure it's just as good as their Inevitable stuff (which is good).

In terms of 3.5 books....
In addition to this list, there's of course also MM1 which introduces the basic Red, Blue, Green, Gray, and Death Slaad types. Note that Slaad are one of the special monsters that are in the MM, but not in the SRD.
