Cerathor

Cerathor is the god of monsters and fear. While the other gods drew energy on worship, he came up with a new method, fear. He feasts on the fear of all of living creatures and thus his true purpose is to create more of it. He creates the most terrifying creatures imaginable in order to scare as many people as possible. He is responsible for mind flayers, yuan ti, as well as orcs, gnolls, goblins and the like in the forms of his 3 children. Cerathor joined Asmodeus because he thought that under his rule, everyone would fear him and Asmodeus’s legions and thus he took his children in this venture as well. Cerathor yearns to smash the divine shield and spread fear once more among the lands of the material plane. He rarely leaves his true form as he prefers to be feared by all who see him. His greatest creation was the tarrasque, although he was only able to create a few as they were devised during the last days of the great scourge. A number of them remain behind to terrorize the world in his wake. During the sundering of the world, he was able to devour multiple gods. This terrified the gods which fed his power, but Asmodeus wasn’t happy about it either. He betrayed Cerathor and imprisoned him in Maladomini, the seventh layer of hell. He now resides there, in a prison guarded by 4 pit fiends, trying to find some way to free himself and get his revenge. His true form is a colossal furred monstrocity with 4 legs and a thrashing tail, it has 2 sets of horrifying horns from his head and a set of terrifying blood stained fangs, it has 4 red eyes that are hypersensitive to life and blood, a set of spines run down his back, to impale any creature who would dare fight back. Suggested domains: War, blood, nature, death.
