	Interestingly enough, the {{CDA}} has a little more information on Smith; the Illustration depicts him as a "White Howondalandian" in veldt safari garb, standing proudly in front of a massive skin which is described as a Balgrog pelt. Some people have even claimed to see vestigial wings, but this looks like wishful thinking, on the evidence of the illustration. The ~~spewlling~~ of "Balrog" appears to be unique to {{CDA}}.
