Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leatherhead" data-source="post: 6973386" data-attributes="member: 53176">I could see either of these demons as "lapdogs" for a Gnoll, which makes for a bit of comedy in campaigns dominated by ravenous hordes. A Shoosuva being a particularly evil and cruel Scooby-Doo, complete with the horrible speech impediment and excessively bizarre snack runs (on the other hand, it is fearless, so it has one up on the great dane). Or alternatively you could have one manifest after a Gnoll warband kills some important target in your mass battle, rubbing some salt into the wounds and making the battle that much more desperate.However, the Maw could potentially be abused in more creative ways. As a direct link to Yeenghou, it could serve as a catalyst for campaigns or adventures involving the demon prince. Lets say, some cultists of a rival demon lord (like Baphomet, well ok maybe more like Malcanthet) have hired the PC's to bring in one of these demons alive. A challenge in it's own right, but what happens when the cultists get their hands on one of these Maws is where it gets really interesting. Now they have a way to pump Yeenghou with whatever substance they want. Granted, he can't be poisoned, but that doesn't really matter when you have access to things like decanters of endless water. The chaos caused by such an indignity would be tremendous. Or worse, they figure out a way to reverse the link, and spill forth a nearly limitless stream of demonic bile into the material plane, causing massive amounts of corruption.</blockquote>
