Non-free / fair use media rationale for Mephistopheles (Dungeons & Dragons)
Description	Dungeon Issue #140 depicting Mephistopheles. Art by Howard Lyon.
Source	Uploader scanned his personal copy of said magazine.
Article	Mephistopheles (Dungeons & Dragons)
Portion used	Magazine cover scan.
Low resolution?	Image is of small size and of low resolution (jpeg) so it cannot be duplicated for commercial purposes.
Purpose of use	The cover of the magazine depicts the subject in question. The contents of the magazine also provided information for the article. The magazine is listed as one of the sources for the article. The image of the cover contributed greatly to the article. The image is for encyclopedic and informational use. The magazine and the subject of the article are both Dungeons & Dragons related.
Replaceable?	No freely available image of said creature exists released by Wizards of the Coast. No freely available fanart of creature is available, and is unclear if such interpretation done by freelance artist would violate Wizards copyright in relation to Wikipedia usage.
