Message: <blockquote data-quote="chaotix42" data-source="post: 4383744" data-attributes="member: 40530">Demogorgon was the first tanar'ri ever born from the Abyss, spawned from the "primal fears of mortal souls." (Demonomicon of Demogorgon, Dragon #357) Demogorgon's two heads do not share the same mind, and their names are Aameul and Hethradiah. Aameul is the more sophisticated and cunning of the two, while Hethradiah is all fury and savage rage. Both are highly intelligent and knowledgeable, and they frequently plot against one another for singular control of their shared body.  Demogorgon is worshipped by aquatic creatures for numerous reasons. In 3e he had the aquatic type, for one. His realm is the 88th layer of the Abyss, known as Gaping Maw. A vast portion of the layer is comprised of the churning waters of the Abyssian Ocean, and a single continent known as the Screaming Jungle provides the majority of the non-aquatic demonic populace with a place to call home. Even then where the jungle and ocean meet stretches a vast marshland known as the Brine Flats. All sorts of aquatic creatures makes this realm their home. Besides this, Demogorgon is just as reptilian as he is simian, so depraved lizardfolk and troglodytes fit right in. His legs are quite like those of a lizard or dinosaur, and his tentacled arms and tails are covered in spikes and scales. He'll appear as a peversion of some other reptilian god, subverting the faith of a group of people, and over time convert them to the worship of Demogorgon's true image. Finally, Demogorgon is straight up alien and monstrous. He counts few humanoids among his faithful, so beastial humanoids and similar intelligent creatures are far more likely to be found paying homage to him.</blockquote>
