Demogorgon rules the Gaping Maw, the 88th layer of D&D's The Abyss plane. Much of the Gaping Maw is underwater, fought over between the aboleths, krakens, and ixitxachitl all loyal to Demogorgon. Parts of Demogorgon's home are above water, including Lemoriax, the layer's city which serves as one of the multiverse's premier slave markets. There were conflicting legends about the origin of Demogorgon. One account claimed that he was the first of the tanar'ri, who originated out of the consolidated fear of mortal souls, shortly after the obyrith Obox-ob was defeated by the Queen of Chaos. Cast aside as a deformity with his boneless arms and twin heads, Demogorgon lay hidden while the Queen of Chaos used sibriexes to better shape other primal mortal emotions into more refined tanar'ri. [24] The Berne Scholia"; Adnotationes super Lucanum, vi.746, are mentioned in Daniel Ogden's Magic, Witchcraft, and Ghosts in the Greek and Roman Worlds, Oxford University Press, 2002, p. 198.
Superhuman Durability: With its durable skin and tough body, the Demogorgon could withstand massive amounts of bullets from multiple firearms and several beatings from a baseball bat with nails. However, it was unable to resist Eleven's power of biokinesis, which she uses to dissolve and kill the Demogorgon. James Jacobs (July 2007). “ The Demonomicon of Iggwilv: Demogorgon: Prince of Demons”. In Erik Mona ed. Dragon #357 ( Paizo Publishing, LLC), p. 21. Ed Greenwood, Eric L. Boyd, Darrin Drader (July 2004). Serpent Kingdoms. ( Wizards of the Coast), p. 38. ISBN 0-7869-3277-5. Following the defeat of the Queen of Chaos at the hands of the tanar'ri, the leading demon lords Graz'zt and Orcus then competed for the title of Prince of Demons. At that moment, Demogorgon, who had grown stronger during his exile, launched a massive assault throughout the plane to crush his rivals' forces. After he slew a dozen demon lords, draining their life forces with his tentacles, even Graz'zt and Orcus were forced to kneel. Thus, Demogorgon asserted his position as Prince of Demons. [41] [24] Mike Mearls, Jeremy Crawford (2014). Player's Handbook 5th edition. ( Wizards of the Coast), p. 109. ISBN 978-0-7869-6560-1.As the Prince of Demons and a hugely formidable foe, Demogorgon has featured in many different sources of media. Most notably is his inclusion in the Netflix TV show, Stranger Things. Not only does Demogorgon feature in Mike’s campaign in the show, but the main enemy in the season 1 is dubbed “Demogorgon” by the protagonists noting the similarities between D&D’s Demogorgon and the monster they meet in the show. As can be expected within the chaotic depths of the Abyss, the politics and infighting amongst the demons is relentless and savage. Despite their former alliance to overthrow their former overlords, the obyrith, Demogorgon and Orcus have a fierce hatred for one another. Orcus covets Demogorgon’s position as the Prince of Demons and Demogorgon defends that title voraciously. Demogorgon has similar rivalries with Graz’zt and Fraz-Urb’luu. Demogorgon is eighteen feet tall, a monstrous demon with two apelike heads and long tentacles where arms should be. His massive torso is somehow both incredibly muscular and as flexible as a snake, with a reptilian lower half and with a massive forked tail. [1] Personality [ ]
Buff: increased the duration of the Undetectable Status Effect after traversing the Upside Down from 2 seconds to 3 seconds. Magic Resistance. Demogorgon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Demogorgon can take a lair action to cause on of the following effects; he can’t use the same effect 2 rounds in a row: Boccaccio's Demogorgon is mentioned as a "primal" god in quite a few Renaissance texts, and impressively glossed "Demon-Gorgon," i.e., "Terror-Demon" or "God of the Earth". The French historian and mythographer Jean Seznec, for instance, now determines in Demogorgon an allusion to the Demiurge ("Craftsman" or "Maker") of Plato's Timaeus. For a remarkable early text identifying Ovid's Demiurge (1/1, here) as "sovereign Demogorgon", see the paraphrase of Metamorphoses I in Abraham France, The third part of the Countesse of Pembrokes Yuychurch (London, 1592), sig. A2v." [7] In literature [ edit ] Gaze:Demogorgon turns his magical gaze towards one creature that he can see within 120 feet of him. That target must make a DC 23 wisdom saving throw. Unless the target is incapacitated, it can avert its eyes to avoid the gaze and to automatically succeed on the save. If the target does so, it can’t see Demogorgon until the start of his next turn. If the target looks at him in the meantime, it must immediately make the save.Mike Mearls, Brian R. James, Steve Townshend (July 2010). Demonomicon. Edited by Scott Fitzgerald Gray. ( Wizards of the Coast), p. 9. ISBN 978-0786954926.
Demogorgons seen in later years seemed unable to open temporary gates - even the Soviet-captured Demogorgon, which otherwise seemed to be stronger, faster and more capable than the 1983 specimen, did not wield this power. In time, the tanar'ri rose up and overthrew their obyrith rulers, with the demon lords Graz'zt and Orcus warring with each other to claim the ultimate title of Prince of Demons. The forgotten Demogorgon suddenly rose from forgotten depths and slew countless tanari'ri lords. The remaining tanar'ri—even Graz'zt and Orcus, their forces depleted by fighting each other—were forced to accept Demogorgon as the new Prince of Demons. [1] Ancient history [ ] Maddening Gaze:Demogorgon uses his Gaze action, and must choose either the Beguiling Gaze or the Insanity Gaze effect. Demogorgon's two heads, Amaeul and Hethradiah, have made countless attempts to dominate or destroy each other. Demogorgon is the name given to the otherworldly antagonist of the Netflix original show Stranger Things, which began airing in 2016. [23] This name is inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons creature.It will also play a global sound cue to all Survivors that is very similar to the regular SFX while sealing a Portal, meaning Survivors can hear map-wide when someone is sealing a Portal. Will eventually succumbed to exhaustion, lying in his makeshift fort. The Demogorgon found him, breaking through the fort wall and taking him to the Upside Down library. Frank Mentzer (January 1985). “Ay pronunseeAYshun gyd”. In Kim Mohan ed. Dragon #93 ( TSR, Inc.), p. 26.
His hatred of life is also all-consuming, and his ultimate goal is to wipe out all other life in the universe. Terrifyingly, it’s an ambition that Demogorgon is almost certainly powerful enough to achieve.Demogorgon has 2 heads. His left head is called Aameul and is the more intellectual and cunning of his heads while his right head is known as Hethradiah and is the more brutish and destructive of the heads. These 2 heads give Demogorgon a dual personality with each personality fighting to dominate. They give rise to Dmeogorgon’s one true weakness; indecisiveness. The best way to defeat Demogorgon is to cause his 2 personalities to conflict with one another causing him to become indecisive. Some believe that if it weren’t for Demogorgon’s indecisiveness, that he might well have taken over the whole of the Abyss.
