MitD VI: The Undiscovered Creature (Please Read the First Post)

Meh. Pathfinder Bestiary 3 wasn't released until late 2011 which puts the kibosh on the Akvan Div Prince. Plus, the beta version of Pathfinder itself only came out in late 2008, so the Pathfinder versions of anything are out as well.

You're thinking of the Pathfinder RPG. Adventure paths set in the Pathfinder universe were released as early as 2007 (they were based on 3.5). In particular, Divs were introduced in 2009.

However Qlippoth is a special case, as it is a mythological being: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qliphoth. It is not infeasible that there exists a 3rd party Qlippoth which dates from ~2004, with similar qualities to the Pathfinder version.

Indeed this is not without precedent – the current MitD "frontrunner", the Haguenemnon Protean, was also a mythological being (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteus), a 3rd party monster from ~2004 (http://www.charles-reace.com/Hobbies...ndex.php?id=55), and exists as a class of Pathfinder monsters (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/a...s/protean.html) with similar properties.

Hence why I believe Qlippoths may be a fruitful search path.
