Transcript

Ten Demon Princes of the Abyss. As seductive as she is dangerous, Malcanthet the Queen of the Succubi is the patron of the hedonistic, the lustful, and those who would use their beauty and magic charms to control and ruin those around them. Baphomet the Horned King and Prince of Beasts envisions a world without restraint. Civilization is weakness and savagery is strength. He reigns over minotaurs and all creatures with savage hearts. Zuggtmoy the Demon Queen of Fungi and Lady of Rot and Decay. An utterly alien creature who aims to infect all living creatures with spores and transform them into her mindless, decomposing hosts and servants. Fraz-Urb’luu, the Prince of Deception and Demon Lord of Illusions.

All demons are liars, but none compare to him. He bends reality itself to manipulate mortals and fiends to do his bidding. Juiblex the Faceless Lord and the Oozing Hunger. The Demon Prince of Slime and Ooze cares nothing for plots or schemes. It exists for one singular purpose, to consume all life. Yeenoghu the Gnoll Lord and Prince of Butchery enjoys slaughter and senseless destruction.

Hyenas that ate his kills became gnolls, twisted instruments of their master’s endless, insatiable destruction and butchery. Kostchtchie the Prince of Wrath is driven to destroy by his mindless hatred. Only his limited intellect prevents him from spreading destruction across the Abyss. His primary goal is to become the god of all frost giants. Graz’zt the Dark Prince of Pleasure considers restriction the only sin. He promotes indulgence and debauchery, using them to subjugate through addiction and manipulation.

Nothing is forbidden except moderation or kindness. Orcus the Blood Lord and Demon Prince of Undeath desires to see all life snuffed out. He seeks to transform the multiverse into a vast necropolis populated by undead under his command. Demogorgon, Prince of Demons and Master of the Spiraling Depths. The embodiment of chaos, madness and destruction, he seeks to corrupt all good and drag the entire multiverse howling into the Abyss.
