So I've just been catching up and this made me really realise how little I understand slaads... because in my brain up until now I had them down, not sure really where from as "they're from a chaotic plane and they're weird frog colourful guys" so I'd always assumed that they were in fact quintessentially chaotic and if I'd dumped them into a game it would likely have been as that, a sort of raw-chaotic creature, perhaps a foil/antithesis to the Modrons. I didn't really realise they had all this heirarchy and evilness going on I guess.

Yeah, and the chaotic theme is reinforced by Ssendam being one of their lords, too. I think they were intended to fill a space between demons and devils, the way the other similar beings from MM2 eventually did.
