[QUOTE="James Jacobs, post: 6389989, member: 23937"] There's parts of Golarion in Anghazan, for sure, as well as some of Ilsidahur (a much more obscure D&D demon lord), but that's mostly coincidental. I created Angazhan originally as a character in the background of one of our early minis products — "Throne of the Gorilla King," knowing that we were going to need some proper nouns of our own in the future. The original concept for Angazhan was basically "What if King Kong were a demon lord?" Lamashtu pretty much took over Demogorgon's role as the "boss" (such as it is) of the Abyss, and along with it the rule over all demonkind, but I didn't want to just photocopy Demogorgon in place, so she ended up very much becoming her own creature. Which left us with the shocking lack of a dinosaur/jungle associated demon lord. Angazhan was the right choice for those. So... more or less coincidence, I guess. As I mentioned above, I've tried to avoid a super obvious full-on "replacement" Demogorgon, because in my mind, he DOES exist in Golarion's Great Beyond. He just doesn't have many irons in the fire there—he's got most of his attention turned toward Greyhawk and the (Dungeon revised verson of) Isle of Dread! ;-) [/QUOTE]
