The Devourer

The Sovereign of Wave and Whelm, the Devourer is a deity of the Dark Six who represents the raw destructive power of nature. The Devourer lords over the deep and as such sailors of all walks of life often pay him lip service for safe voyages. Aquatic races such as sahuagin and lizardfolk also revere the Devourer. Brother of Arawai and Balinor, according to some stories, the Devourer raped his sister Arawai and fathered The Fury.

The Devourer embodies a view of a world that’s red in tooth and claw. He is the hunger that drives us to survive, but he places deadly obstacles in our way; those that can overcome the challenges of the Devourer grow strong and prosper, while the weak are swept away to make room for the strong.

The Devourer is portrayed as a human or merfolk with seaweed in his hair and beard, a sahuagin, an enormous shark, or a dragon turtle.
