According to this website, http://www.brihaspati.net/faq_4.htm Rudra has 11 avatars (I didn't know this, so I learned something!) They are:
Kapali
Pingala
Bhima
Virupaksha
Vilohita
Shashta
Ajapada
Ahirbidhanya
Sambhu
Chanda
Bhava
I liked the explanation on that page as well:
The theory of Avatars is a rather complicated one. If you analyse the teachings of the four Vaiçnava Acharyas, i.e. Madhva, Ramanuja, Viñëuswami and Nimbarka, you will find certain differences even amongst them. However according to my conviction, the explanation given by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the most befitting. He says that there are countless avataras of Godhead, all stemming from Bhagavan Sri Krishna (ete camsa kalaa pumsah krsnas tu bhagavaan svayam). Some are avatars of the Lord (purusa), and some avatars of His energy (prakrti). The prakrti and purusa are simultaneously one and different. This is inconceivable, therefore Lord Caitanya’s teaching is called acintya-bhedaabheda-tattva. So Rama is one fo the expansions of the Supreme Godhead and Hanuman is His eternal devotee (sakti). But many times the eternal associates of the Lord comprise in themselves the incarnations of multiple personalities. So Hanuman also has in himsepf the Rudra principle, therefore in Lord Rama’s chart he is indicated by exalted Mars in the 7th. Thus we also call Hanuman as Rudratmaka (having the mentality of Rudra), because he has the destructive power and fire of Rudra.
On the other hand, Rudra is an expansion of whom we call Sadaashiva in his eternal form. Siva is a peculiar expansion of Bhagavan. because he is in a middling category between Vishnu-tattva and Jeeva-tattva. He is the Avatar who comes into direct contact with the material energy and impregnates the womb of Mother nature (Mahamaya or Durga) with the jeevatmas who have given up their shelter in Vaikuntha, the spiritual realm. So Hanuman has the expansion of Rudra within himself, however techinically he is not one of the 11 Rudras who manifest at the time of the destruction of the material universe to burn it down and destroy it. This is not the only example of multile personalities. Krishna and Arjuna are said to be Nara and Narayana Rishis. You can’t tell whether one becomes the other or reverse, both are eternal persons, who are simutaneously one with and different from each other. If you want to understand these topics more deeply, I recommend Srimad Bhagavatam and Sri Caitanya Caritamrita translated and commented upon by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, available from BBT.
There are eleven Rudra-avatars, called Ekadasa Rudra. Their names are: Kapali, Pingala, Bhima, Virupaksha, Vilohita, Shashta, Ajapada, Ahirbidhanya, Sambhu, Chanda and Bhava. Their respective mantras are found in Vedic Remedies by Pt. Sanjay Rath on pp. 219-222. Use of Ekadasa Rudras:
The eighth from any sign is Rudra. Thus, there can be twelve Rudras in the Zodiac. However, the eighth lord from Atmakaraka qualifies as Maheçvara, hence the sign ocuppied by the Atmakaraka will not harm the native because of the protective nature of the Atmakaraka. So if any signs are causing harm to the native, he should chant the Rudra Mantra of the 8th from it for protection. Now how to assign the mantras to the houses? If you have troubles in 2nd from AK, then chant the mantra for Kapali, if in the 3rd, then for Pingala, etc.
