The Pygmalion

[Havard]

Your assumption makes sense Aldarron. I guess it is not unlikely that the Pygmalion was last seen in the Blackmoor Dungeon. It is intriguing to think of the various lost files that might be out there wrt Blackmoor. I would also have loved to see the original manuscript that Dave submitted for Supp II. My personal theory is that the reason for the TSR staff's negative reaction to this manuscript was not just due to the quality of the manuscript, but also the fact that they were interested in rules (aka Crunch), whereas much of Arneson's material would have been background material, which was something TSR did not begin to focus on until after 1981.

Back to Pygmalion, I have a working theory that Blackmoor's Pygmalion was crafted by the God known as Kadis (Patron of Miners), and that an alternate name for the Living Statue would be The Daughter of Kadis (I prefer not using direct references to RW phenomena in the game). The rumour that the Pygmalion can be found somewhere in the North is probably the main reason why the Gin of Salik (Prince of Salik IMC) has arrived in the region.
