I'm trying to get information of the following monstrous deities:
Blibdoolpoolp
Eadro
Sekolah
Unfortunately, I find Deities & Demigods and Faiths & Pantheons lacking (as in: there's no information there at all). If anyone on the boards can help me out with this, please do. The more information I have, the better.
Thank you in advance.
Check the original edition of Dieties & Demigods (later published under the alternate title Legends & Lore). Used book stores and eBay are good places to look for it.

THere is a forum on the WOTC site where someone is posting the stats for various gods by request.

All hail the mighty Google search!
Thank you for these links. These are good starting places for me. But I'm looking more for information on the actual religions, such as demands these deities place upon their followers and how the worship of the deity has shaped that race's culture, outlook, etc.
Ultradan to the rescue!!!
Blibdoolpoolp ‘Sea Mother’ (lesser goddess)
Blibdoolpoolp appears as a large nude human female, with a lobsters’ head and clawed forearms. In general, she hates all humans, demi-humans and humanoids for driving the Kuo-Toa into the underworld. Worshipers regularly sacrifice lobsters to her. If a favour is desired, she must be given great quantities of gems, preferably pearls. There is a 1% chance per every 1000 gp worth of gems sacrificed that the Sea Mother will look upon the worshiper’s request with favour (if pearls are contributed, this chance is 1% per 500 gp value). On the most important ceremonial occasions, the clerics of Blobdoolpoolp sacrifice captured humans to her by drowning.
Eadro (lesser god)
Both locathah and mermen worship Eadro, who appears as a being of living water, able to take any shape it pleases. The god’s worshipers believe that Eadro bathes their gills in the Water of Life before dropping them into the Current of Existence. Between lives on the Prime Material Plane, Eadro watches over their spirits in the ocean on the Plane of Corcordant Opposition, where they take the form of tiny fish. The god’s symbol is a spiral, which indicates growth through unity.
Sekolah (lesser god)
Sekolah always appears in the form of a giant white shark. Sahuagin lore says that Sekolah swims in the deepest parts of the seas of the Nine Hells, where he hunts only the largest and fiercest of prey. When the tides are right, the sahuagin sacrifice their weak, crippled and aged to Sekolah by feeding them to the 1-3 holy sharks which always accompany sahuagin clerics.
I hope that helps... These texts were taken from the ancient 'Deities and Demiigods' published in 1980.

That's exactly the kind of information I'm looking for. Thank you for the assist!
those gods are also further fleshed out in 2E's Monster Mythology. Blibdoolpoolp appeared way back when in... Descent to the Depths of the Earth, correct?

All three have brief writeups in Stormwrack, p 49 which include a (very brief) blurb about the god/dess, their favored weapon, and domains available to their clerics.

Correcto-mundo dude. She appeared in AD&D module D1/D2 Descent to the Depths of the Earth / Shrine of the Kuo Toa.
