Geglakoth, lord of the Ruincage, is a vast, ancient, and mighty demon. He thrills in the stink of fearsweat, in the terror of moments cognizant of one's inevitable death, in the rip and tear of bodily structure. He is an engine of destruction, a mighty general of the Blood War, and an implacable foe to those who stand in his way. His appreciation of poetry often goes unremarked-upon, but might spare a desperate person trying a dangerous gambit.
Appearance: The Lord of the Ruincage is easily fifty feet tall, with four enormous talons and a pair of long, grasping hands below enormous chitinous shoulders studded with large eyes, three per side. His lower half seems to be a mass of writhing, rubbery tentacles supporting his vast bulk, as well as one vast eyeball making up his abdomen area. His head is a bony skull-like protrusion with vicious fangs and horns, and eyeless pits. Statistics: Geglakoth has the statistics of a Balor, with an additional 100 hit points. He lacks the magical weapons of a Balor, but can make a four attacks with his four scything claws for 6d8+8 damage each (average 35). Domain: Geglakoth's domain in the Abyss is known as the Ruincage- a vast, semi-organic arena where horrific battles constantly rage between enslaved mortal warriors, demons, and even stranger monsters. The whole domain stinks of old blood and sweat, and any blood shed dries almost instantly on contact with the ground. Geglakoth can cause organic blades to spike upwards from the ground anywhere within his domain as a bonus action once per round, attacking for the same damage as one of his scything talons. How you can use Geglakoth in your game: - As a patron for a Warlock, Geglakoth craves violence and shed blood. Those who serve him appear tired, and their eyes sink down into their darkened sockets. They also bear an eyeball within their navel, if they have one. - The cults who serve Geglakoth often participate in and run fighting arenas, slowly becoming more depraved and blood-soaked. They may infiltrate 'civilized' society and attempt to bring it to ruin, for their master's enjoyment. - Summoning up Geglakoth or any of his servants requires a sacrifice of warriors' blood, spilled unwillingly. Although he and his lieutenants, a score of violent Glabrezu demons, are powerful warriors, their cost will be commensurate. If a summoner is lucky, they may settle for an enemy's blood. If not, they may be hungrier yet. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 13 November 2019. Comments are closed.
