Created page with "The '''Retriever''' in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons is ''not'' a cute hairy doggy who can swim. ''This'' Retriever is a big hairy spider who will eat you. They first showe..."

New page

The '''Retriever''' in [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] is ''not'' a cute hairy doggy who can swim. ''This'' Retriever is a big hairy spider who will eat you.

They first showed up in [[Fiend Folio]] as a construct of [[Demogorgon]] himself; they are his invisible-stalkers, except very very visible. They are twelve-foot arachnoids, whose four forelimbs are as "cleavers" each inflicting 3d6 damage. They have six eyes, four of which fire sixty-foot LASER BEAMS, [[beholder]]-style: fire, cold, lightning, transmutation. [[Demon]]s ride these things into battle sometimes, on "howdah".

The transmutation ray is fun: d4 says, mud, stone, gold, or lead. If gold or lead, the victim's friends will need that ''philosopher's stone'' from the eponymous JK Rowling book to turn him back again.

It seems this critter's designer wasn't in contact with [[E. Gary Gygax]] because, you'd think the Retriever would be ideal for [[Lolth]]'s [[Demonweb Pits]] but it is not.

In 2e, ''[[Planescape]]'' brought them as enemies to the [[Tanar'ri]], for [[What|Reasons]]. The [[Edge|edgelord]] module ''[[The Deva Spark]]'' features one. 3e elevated them to the full [[Monster Manual]] in the "Demon" section although still as constructs. Thus canonised as Open Content, [[Monte Cook]] put one in The Maze over in ''[[Beyond Countless Doorways]]''.
