Book name: Greyhawk Adventures by Jim Ward
The Greyhawk Graungnard around time 2:00 or so.
Explains how you could no longer “kill gods” as of this last 1e adnd book that is transitioning to 2e.
Has nee monsters and spells.
Maugli earlier eh 1894ish-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mowgli
Tarzan soon after 1912 -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarzan
And this old Burian art shows just how Tarzany the Maugli books were: https://www.daildeli.cz/buriankipling1.html
Part of Kipling's inspiration for the story of Mowgli is believed to have been William Henry Sleeman's account of six cases in India in which wild children had been raised by wolves.[3] That account was first published in the first volume of Sleeman's Journey Through the Kingdom of Oude in 1848-1850 (1858)[4] and reprinted in 1852 as An Account of Wolves Nurturing Children in Their Dens, by an Indian Official and in The Zoologist (1888 12 (135): 87-98).[5] One most notable feral child was found in the wolf's den at the Bulandshahr district in 1867 and subsequently brought to the Sikandra orphanage at Agra, where he was given the name Dina Sanichar.[6][7]

Atop a crumbling cathedral its deep

descends towards you as a misty form flows out from beneath it. The now
apparent ghostly body produces a morgenstern and longsword in both hands. 'Your

Ideas - ODOPI super hard monster manual iii from 3.5e
It looks HARD.

+19 to hit ranged, what?!
BTW, Legend of Zelda - Tears of the Kingdom, got one of the hand monster ideas from this guy.

Maybe have this Entrope creature. They eat away at reality between planes, and allow stuff to spill over.

NOTE:
High HPs (for 2e). Maybe I give them max, so 11 HD + 6 would be 88 plus 6, 94 HP.
Special Defenses:
| Struck only by +2 or better weapons, immune to elements The Doomguard - ever interested in entropy - decided to make sure that it is true and to help the process along. Hence, their magicians and alchemists began devising a means to dissolve the barriers between the Elemental Planes. Hundreds of years of research, trials, and errors took place, but eventually they succeeded. They constructed magical creatures the Sinkers named entropes. Entropes feed on whatever makes up the borders separating the various Inner Planes. As they feed, the elements of the two planes blend and “bubbles” of foreign elements are introduced into alien planes. Eventually, the Doomguard hopes, the barriers will weaken enough so that the planes constantly bleed into each other, eventually becoming indistinguishable. The first batch of these beasts escaped Doomguard control and now wander about the Inner Planes on their own, chewing away at the fabric of reality wherever they see fit. The second group is more closely controlled. Special Defenses: Combat: Because the entrope can literally break down the fabric of reality, it's nothing to fool around with. Anywhere within the Inner Planes, the beast can “eat” through elermental borders, creating a small, temporary hole in space leading to any other Inner Plane. The rent results in a mass of the foreign element bursting into the plane with great power. While the entrope itself isn't harmed by this action, anyone within 25 feet is subject to the elemental explosion. The results depend on which plane the hole leads to (a decision made by the entrope):
The entrope can open these holes once every three rounds. The rest of the time, it defends itself with two huge claws (1d8 points of damage each) and a gigantic tooth-filled maw (1d12 points of damage). The strange creature is also immune to the effects of all elements, even ignoring impact damage from thrown boulders or similar attacks. Graybeards know of only two ways to harm an entropy: strike it with a magical weapon of +2 or greater enchantment, or subject it to nonelemtntal-based spells such as cause light wounds, magic missile, and so on. |

Review by Spellsinger
Btw, the B&W art is incredible.
Haggworts? Surely inspired the Hogwarts name, eh? See comment by UchronianKing
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YWViNGW-1vQ&t=1304s
Me: Haggworts… Hogwarts? And their master is Voivod (not quite Voldemort but a cousin of a name maybe). Anyway, I often see connections where they do not exist, but surely Rowling read this book and was making a friendly nod with the school’s name.

Of course there is a plant called hogwart - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croton_capitatus
