Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leatherhead" data-source="post: 8653403" data-attributes="member: 53176"><h3>Maw Demon (VGtM)</h3>Maw Demons are lesser demons that exist only to eat anyone and everything. And as such, are often found in the company of Gnoll Warbands. Their most interesting feature is their direct link to Yeenoghu, which connects their stomach directly to the Demon Lord’s gullet, so that he can eat the bounty of the world even when locked away in the Abyss.The book provides a handy table of random objects to include in a Maw Demons stomach, which can also be used to give one of their attacks a bit more flavor.Aside from that, there isn’t really much to the Maw Demon in combat. They are essentially giant mouths that walk around biting everything they come in contact with. Fitting in well enough with Gnolls, they can serve as a brute controller, albeit one that doesn’t synergise well with Gnoll Leaders due to a lack of Rampage. Instead, they have the disgusting (and mildly humorous) Disgorge attack, where they use projectile vomit as an acidic AoE that also knocks their enemies prone. Gnolls are exactly the type of enemy who would scramble over to a prone prey in order to eat them in the middle of combat, making this attack quite scary despite its simplicity and otherwise “soft” status condition.In the changeover, the Maw Demon lost their Rampage ability and gained the Disgorge attack. While the Disgorge attack is fun (well for DMs at least) and thematic. The loss of Rampage is a bit of a bummer.</blockquote>
