Anyone have a good canon source? The Mosnter Manual is bare-bones lorewise, and I can't find anything deeper. (I need catgirl help! Tormak, I choose you!) |

You should get the PDF of Dragon #326. It has a lot of detail about Rakshasa. |

Ooo, that's good stuff, Tunes. Thanks much! Anyone else? Anything relating to Forgotten Realms specifically? |

Sadly, I don't know if there's much more than what I've posted and what the FR wiki page for the Rakshasa has. |

Apparently their is a book called 'Complete-Guide-to-Rakshasas' that exists that may have more. How good it actually is I dunno though. |

If it's anything like Complete Guide to Fey I recently read, it's garbage! <.< |

I've read it and it seems like a lot of it is not Forgotten Realms stuff. In that book, it says that rakshasa were the first creatures in existence, predating even the gods. They worship a king called Ravana who, if I recall correctly, is the reincarnated (and deified) version of the most powerful rakshasa. There are different 'breeds' of rakshasa that have different skill sets. Black-furred ones (I believe zakharan or something similar) are their nonmagical scouts. I used to know more but it's been a few years. |

Naztharune are the scout assassins. Don't think there are any female rakshasa though. |

There's female rakshasa models and female shifters turn into one when they transform, so. |

According to the AD&D 2nd edition Monster Manual, female rakshasa are called rakshasi. There's only 1 page for the entire entry on "Rakshasa", though. |
