The result was keep. Closing a few hours early, so consider this a "speedyish close". It's obvious that at thing point, there's not a snowball chance in hell that the consensus is going to change. If you think this is an innapropriate closure, contact me on my talk page. (non-admin closure) Anarchyte (work | talk) 07:41, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

- Keep per the arguments below, or failing that merge to List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters (1974–76). BOZ (talk) 01:01, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Made Geek.com's "The most underrated monsters of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" here, as well as a separate article calling it worthless [1]. It also appears to be covered in the Paizo-published (non-WotC, non-TSR) Pathfinder Bestiary, perhaps in multiple editions, based on this, but searching within the book is not available online, and I cannot confirm it. It does appear in the SRD, however, so this is entirely plausible: [2]. For a weird little monster, that appears to actually meet GNG. Jclemens (talk) 01:16, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep per Jclemens. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 02:39, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep per Jclemens. It's great to see a minor monster that actually seems to be notable; maybe we could all chip in and try to expand this article a little. I think DYK would be a definite possibility if any of us have easy access to the sourcebooks; BOZ, do you have them? Mine are on another continent and I never picked up the psionics books anyway...

- Sadly, I had many on PDF, but not on my current hard drive. :( Thanks for asking, though. I do have a few available in hardcopy, like the original "Monster Manual", so I may dig that one out this week and add a few details. BOZ (talk) 03:33, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

- Keep for the reasons already stated above. Aoba47 (talk) 17:08, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep or merge, per BOZ. This one arguably has some notability. GentlemanGhost (converse) 20:35, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep or merge. I would like to see it as a separate nice article, but it needs some flesh on the bones still. Topic is noteable. Polentarion Talk 19:22, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
