Advancement: —

It is contended by some that this demon prince is supreme. His hatred for Orcus is immense and unending, followed closely by his hatred for Graz’zt.

Demogorgon appears as an 18-foot tall reptilian-humanoid. He has two heads that bear the visages of baboons. His blue-green skin is plated with snake-like scales, his body and legs are those of a giant lizard, his twin necks resemble snakes, and his thick tail is forked. In place of arms, he has two huge tentacles.

COMBAT
Demogorgon attacks first using his gaze weapons and should any survive the onslaught, he will utilize his tentacles, tail, and bites. He uses his spells and spell-like abilities liberally in combat, and should the combat go against him, he will summon demons to cover his escape.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will- blasphemy, charm monster, charm person, deeper darkness, desecrate, detect good, detect law, detect thoughts, fear, greater dispelling, polymorph self, pyrotechnics, read magic, see invisible, suggestion, symbol (any), telekinesis, teleport without error (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), tongues (self only), unhallow, unholy aura, unholy blight, and wall of ice; 1/day—feeblemind, power word (any). These abilities are as the spells cast by a 20th-level sorcerer (save DC 24 + spell level).

Spells: Demogorgon casts arcane spells as a 20th-level sorcerer (save DC 24 + spell level) and divine spells as a 20th-level cleric (save DC 23 + spell level). He has access to the domains of Chaos, Evil, Trickery, and War.

Psionics (Sp): At will—astral projection, charm monster, deeper darkness, detect evil, detect law, dimensional anchor, dispel good, levitate, and protection from good. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 20th-level sorcerer (save DC 24 + spell level).

Disease (Su): Supernatural disease—tentacle attack, Fortitude save (DC 59), incubation period 1 day; damage 1d6 temporary Constitution. Unlike normal diseases, this continues until the victim reaches Constitution 0 (and dies) or receives a remove disease spell or similar magic (see Disease page 74 in the Dungeon Master’s Guide).

Energy Drain (Su): Living creatures hit by Demogorgon’s tail lash receive two negative levels. The Fortitude save to remove a negative level has a DC of 57.

Gaze Attacks (Su): Each of Demogorgon’s head’s can emit one gaze effect each round; hypnotism and insanity. If he focuses both gazes on one foe, he can dominate his opponent.

Each gaze effect resembles a spell cast by a 20th-level sorcerer. All gazes have a range of 50 feet and a save DC of 57.

Hypnotism: Left head; the target must succeed at a Will save or be affected as though by the spell.

Insanity: Right head; the target must succeed at a Will save or be affected as though by the spell.

Domination: Both heads combined; the target must succeed at a Will save or be affected as though by the spell.

Summon Demons (Sp): Three times per day Demogorgon can automatically summon summon 1d2 balors, 1d3 nalfeshnees or glabrezu, or 1d4 mariliths.

Demon Qualities (Ex): Immune to poison and electricity; cold, fire, and acid resistance 20.

Telepathy (Su): Demogorgon can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language.

Demogorgon first appeared in the Monster Manual (Gary Gygax, 1977).

How the heck do you kill something like that?

Silvanerian · Post by **Silvanerian** » Tue Aug 07, 2001 10:51 am

Abilities: Str 47, Dex 26, Con 43, Int 36, Wis 36, Cha 38

Hmm...as far as I recall the abilities of the avatars of the gods themselves never exceeded 25...this can't be 2nd ed AD&D. Maybe 3rd ed?

This is 3rd Edition Demogorgon to answer the first question.

To answre the second question (how do you kill something like that?), the answere is easy:

You DON'T. You either run away or become very, *very* polite.

I tried to find the other edition stats the ones that read up to 25, but I could not find them. I use to have them along time ago in the legends and lore back in the day when I played AD&D. If anyone has them please post them here. They would make more sense to me and maybe some others as well. Would be nice to compare to our chacters as in stat wise for str. and dex.

How on earth does someone (or something rather) end up with a charisma of 38? I would have thought him to be one of the most unattractive things in the game. The whole evil "I'm going to take over your world" thing doesn't help either

Demogorgon is apparently enlightened and intelligent beyond mortal comprehension, and a damn smooth talker to boot.

Merely the fact that any mortal could ever beat a being with Int 36 is rediculous. That thing should be a million moves ahead of you at all times.
