Snek with 98 mage hands because frankly 100 was too many what was he thinking

Yeah. ... Yeah.

I always enjoyed this aspect of D&D games: the creative, interesting enemies, places, and artifacts that you could find in some of the books/tomes. In fact, i was able to find the exact book i was thinking of at archive.org! The AD&D 2nd edition Book of Artifacts: https://archive.org/details/tsr02138add2ebookofartifacts/mode/1up Here's one of my favorites from the book, though it's been so long i really could do to give in another gander: 

So I checked and it depends on the species but one flying snake has a field of view of 308.5°. So for some species they'd be able to have hands way apart from each other

> A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. Where would that part be?

Your 7th is Solidus Snake

That's a direct ripoff of Slavic folklore, FYI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yaga

8th is named Badger. Still a snek.

probably a previous edition?

100th and most beloved character: Some dude with a knife

Alternative Olm

Lol shockingly similar to one of my characters who was a squirrel wizard.

Everything is derivative.

I saw that too!! I was googling about it for a while this morning, fascinating stuff! I enjoy the ways that they recommend introducing the character and house into a campaign etc in the Book of Artifacts, too. I think it's cool they use real folklore to give the game flavor and interest.

*Ohhh, I thought you said* ignoble, *sorry*

9, 10 are actually just a coupla wild & crazy fun guys...

It directly says so in the text of the book.

Yeah, I didn't read the text on the page, only the title.
