Here is more on Lord Shiva. I know i sound religious, but to be honest i have been really fascinated with this diety. he is truely amazing and terribly anti-social at the same time, which is whats most interesting. here is something of interest to you. A list of his various forms as far as I can remember, in alphabetical order(they were my mailing list folders :D)

Gangadhara
Harihara
Kailasanatha
Lingodbhava
