Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

"The demon lord is a meld of different forms, with a saurian lower body and clawed, webbed feet, as well as suckered tentacles sprouting from the shoulders of a great apelike torso, surmounted by two hideous simian heads, named Aameul and Hathradiah, both equally mad. Their gaze brings madness and confusion to any who confront it."

- From Out of the Abyss, by Wizards of the Coast, 2015.

Personal history

It is said that there is balance in all things. When the First Gods created the Great Wheel, they needed to populate the planes. It is said that their first creations were rejected, for they were too extreme in their alignment (Good, Evil, Neutral, Law, or Chaos) and their could be no balance in the multiverse. These rejected entities were thrown into the great nothingness that is the Infinite Abyss. Here the creatures became the embodiment of chaos and malevolence. The became twisted and monstrous - and so the First Gods, in their ineffable wisdom, balanced the multiverse.

Rage of Demons (Drizzt vs Demogorgon) by Wizards of the Coast

Demogorgon is the occupant of the 88^th layer of the Abyss, called the Gaping Maw. He is the personification of madness and the chaos of mutation. Some say that he is mutated offspring of a Great Old One. This might due to the fact that he drives all his worshipers to the depths of insanity (a trait shared by all entities from the Outer Realms).

In his palace, Demogorgon argues with himself and hatches mad schemes. He hopes to unbalance the multiverse and plunge all of creation into chaos and despair. He has been known to create abominations and set them loose on other planes. He has also attempted to invade the Prime Material Plane on multiple occasions - usually through an entrance in the Underdark. His reasons for doing so is a mystery, but it has been said that there is a hero of the Underdark that vanquishes him every time.
