The blue slaad, death slaad, the gray slaad, the green slaad, and the red slaad appear first in the Monstrous Compendium Outer Planes Appendix (1991), and are reprinted in the Monstrous Manual (1993). Īnother slaad lord, Wartle, appeared in the adventure anthology, Tales of the Outer Planes (1988).Īdvanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition (1989–1999) The slaadi and their role in the planes are detailed in this edition's Manual of the Planes (1987).
