Description
“Know me then by my best name, mortal. You face Demogorgon, Prince of Demons.” Demogorgon.

The Prince of Demons. The embodiment of Chaos.
The towering entity of scaly flesh and bristling fur defies belief. A fiendish and maddening mingling of reptile and ape, the beast’s tendril limbs and barbed tail writhe and coil as it shifts its immense weight. A pair of demonic heads—each with a sloping, brutish forehead and elongated, toothy maw—gaze in all directions with eyes glowing like hot embers. A stench, like rotting meat and smoldering brimstone, wafts from the beast’s steaming mouths.

Each of Demogorgon's heads had its own name and personality, a duality that created an enduring internal conflict of his personality, while shaping all his actions and even his realm. Demogorgon is his own worst enemy.

He is, in many ways, two creatures that share the same body. Aeumal, his left head, is the more charismatic and calculating while Hethradiah, his right head, is more impulsive and feral. Each views the other as inferior and each believes the other incapable of outfoxing itself.

His gaze brings madness and confusion to any who confront him. And even gazing at his Symbol brings you madness.

Followers of Demogorgon make sacrifices which invariably involve the killing of innocents, especially good-aligned priests and demon hunters, whom Demogorgon especially despises. One particularly profane ritual unique to the followers of Demogorgon involves summoning a demon to perform the killing blow, whereupon the soul is carried to his realm and forcibly forged into a demon larvae.

Another terrifying ritual is called the Feast of the Self. A demon scoops out and eats part of the brain of a willing participant, before spitting it back into the participant's mouth, who must consume their own brain matter. Those who survive this dangerous rite become a Thrall of Demogorgon, gradually transforming into a horrible creature.

Demogorgon's chaotic priesthood often wear snake-like headdresses and offer sacrifices of blood and souls on black altars.

Demogorgon has thousands of enemies throughout the planes, although only a few wield enough power that they might defeat him. His main rivals are the demon princes Orcus, Prince of the Undead; and Graz'zt, the Dark Prince. Individually, neither has sufficient strength to defeat Demogorgon, and while they might succeed if they worked together, the two are bitter enemies.

He fears the return of Obox-ob, the once-powerful obyrith lord who first held the title of Prince of Demons, and who has tried and failed to kill Demogorgon on multiple occasions.

Among Demogorgon's other major opponents are Charon, ferryman of the Styx; Malcanthet, who would readily betray Demogorgon to raise her own status; Gwynharwyf of the eladrin Court of Stars; and Demogorgon's former lover Shami-Amourae.

While most demon lords accept his position, Demogorgon has few allies.

Ilsidahur, demon lord of the bar-lguras, has long been an ally of Demogorgon and guards the Prince of Demon's realm, although relations between them have been strained of late. He considers Dagon a trusted advisor. Zuggtmoy, demon queen of fungi, is friendly with Demogorgon.

Demogorgon inhabits the Gaping Maw, the 88th layer of the Abyss. Here lies a landmass called the Screaming Jungle, a vast island at the edge the Abyssian Ocean. A whirlpool in the River Styx drains into his realm.

(I gave his three tentacles instead of two because I wanted to give him like braid tentacle arms, so he could grab things)
