Yeenoghu

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Domain: Death, War

Pantheon: Gnoll

Symbol: Triple headed flail

Yeenoghu is a demon lord and the chief entity worshipped by gnolls. Solely dedicated to destruction, the Ruler of Ruin seeks the collapse of civilisation and to brutally butcher all that stand between him and his rabid slaughter.

To the Beast of Butchery, the gnolls were both his instruments and children, whom he sought to use to bring his ideal world to fruition. Such a world would be one of endless combat and brutality, where gnolls ruled supreme and all other creatures would be either slaves or food. Ultimately when the mortal world possessed one final champion he would challenge them to battle, slay them, and preside victoriously in his version of paradise; a wasteland of decaying corpses, in an absolutely ruined world.

Despite his savage nature, Yeenoghu was not stupid, being capable of subtlety and trickery, but merely choosing not to use it in most circumstances. He actively encouraged the arrival of new races into his followers, recognizing the lack of his people's unity. Counting among the Lord of Savagery's favorite demons were barlguras, dretches, hezrous, manes, and especially maw demons and Shoosuvas, all appreciated for their bestial natures. With any entity that did not serve him he would not waste any time on discourse, leaping boldly into battle unless he became bored.
