I thought it was just a Goristro

The Goristro is the massive demon, I am talking about the smaller gaunt looking one.

The Goristro is the massive demon, I am talking about the smaller gaunt looking one.

OK. That could be him. It does look similar to the OotA image of Baphomet, but much thinner (and less intimidating). However, both Baphomet and a Goristro are listed as Huge, so I would expect them to be similar in size. I am hoping that it is not him as that demon does look impressive enough to say demon lord on the front lines of the Blood War to me..

I clicked on that link, and all the images are unviewable - nor does the video come up. I tried accessing the site directly, and only found four (non-D&D) images that come in clear, on the front page of the site - everything below that is gibberish. Am I just doing something wrong?

What browser are you using? It works just fine for me. This is what you should see:

Here's the YouTube link as IGN's video player is notoriously terrible.

There are some additional showcases of art in the video as well, including these two Kenku. I'll add more as I watch it.
