What the hell is a demogorgon

what the hell is a demogorgon

It's like half a gorgon.

No, that is a demigorgon. With an "i".

It's when the devs want to show you what a gorgon is like but don't want to give you a whole gorgon yet.

Demogorgon is a demon prince from medieval demonology, well known enough to get mentions in various medieval literature as well (notably Milton's "Paradise Lost" and Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus").

Amusingly, the name itself originated as a scribal error, a mangling of the Greek word for the Demiurge of Gnosticism.

So basically, Demogorgon is a typo that became a meme.

>>/tv/

It's a demolition gorgon. If you make eye contact you explode.

Depends on the edition I think. Sometimes it's a monster, other times it's an Evil deity. The name has it's roots in Biblical mythology.

It's worth pointing out the Stranger Things monster isn't literally the Demogorgon from D&D. Eleven had trouble communicating the concept of "monster", so she referred to it by pointing at Mike's Demogorgon miniature. The kids just called it that from then on.

Like a /d/emogorgon but less fucked up.

I was hoping they would start calling it a flea. That name actually fits.

You explode or it explodes?

If it exploded, it wouldn't be sitting there discussing it with you.

A prince of hell

This

Fucking plebs the lot of you

Surprisingly, nothing to do with gorgons, as explains. I was equally confused.
In dnd it's a double baboon snek demon god thing.

In the original monster manual, there was a typo which suggested that Demogorgon was in fact, NOT unique and that there might be more than one.

One of my favorite D&D monsters

A trial version of the monster, so you can know whether or not it would make for a worthy addition in your dungeon.

I would play a campaign were you are a salesman dealing with dungeon masters so hard...

Fucking hell, I'm starting to think this fucking thing is the spirit of typos and poor proofreading

But if I exploded, he wouldn't be talking to me.

It's a limited trial version of the real deal.

*what the abyss

sounds better than Betagorgon

>The Virgin Gorgon
>The Chad Lamia

Actually, the spirit of typos is called titivillus

>Fucking hell, I'm starting to think this fucking thing is the spirit of typos and poor proofreading

That's not Demogorgon, it's Titivillus.

>Titivillus
>He has been called the "patron demon of scribes," as Titivillus provides an easy excuse for the errors that are bound to creep into manuscripts as they are copied.
The things you learn here

The expression on that dude's face is great.

Well you haven't made eye contact yet.

Think it was a demon lord with two heads that hated and fought each other or something.

it's the offspring of a gorgon and a demon.
A demo-gorgon.. right?

You seriously don't know?

Wait, there really is a typo devil?

Because here in Finland "typo devil" is a fairly common expression referring to typographical errors that have managed to get into a published book or document. However, I've never known there actually was a mythological devil of typographical errors.

don't even ask about DLCgorgon

ONCE A UPON A FUCKING TIME, !NOTGREATOLDONES GAME TO THE UNIVERSE AND MADE THE ABYSS, BECAUSE THE BLOCKED BY COPYRIGHT AND IN SETTING-EXPLAINED META DEMANDED THE REMOVAL OF THE ALIGNMENT SYSTEM AND OBJECTIVE MORALITY, AND THE !NOTELDER SIGN TO GET IN.

SO URSULA, FROM THE LITTLE MERMAID IS ONE OF THESE GREAT OLD ONES.

AND SHE NOTICES SHITLOADS OF NASTY CUNTS ENTERING HER DOMAIN CHAOTIC EVIL SOULS TO BE PRECISE, ORCUS MIGHT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED BY CASTING DWEOMER ON HIS NATIVE PLANE THAT KILLED EVERYONE THE GOAL OF ALL LIFE IS DEATH STYLE, BUT THAT ONE IS FOGGY AT BEST BACK WHEN HE WAS HUMAN.

SO SHE GET'S THE FLOATING BRAIN TZIMIZCIE FLESHCRAFTERS TO MAKE THEM INTO DEMONS ALSO, BECAUSE SHE HAD THIS WHOLE CONQUER THE UNIVERSE THING GOING ON WITH A GIANT SPIDER THAT HAS A WOLFS HEAD.

SO THEY SHOW HER THE PROTOTYPE, AND IT WAS WEAK AS PISS, SO SHE THROWS IT INTO "LITERALLY JURASSIC PARK, BUT ALSO DEMONS" AND THEN SHE CONTINUES WITH THE WAR UNTIL THE ELEMENTAL PLANE OF BRAAAAAAAP AND DEITIES BEAT HER UP, BECAUSE THEY WERE PLAYING WITH LEGOS SHE KNOCKED OVER.

SO ANYHOW, DURING THIS THOUSANDS OF YEARS PAST, URSULA LOST, AND FUCKED OFF TO POST ABOUT IT ON TUMBLR AND THE PALE NIGHT HAD SEX WITH NYRALATHOTEP TO MAKE THE VERY DEFINITION OF THE TERM BBEG BBC
Which stands for Big Bad Evil Graz'zt's Big Black Cock. And Thus, the cosmic definition of the term Deep dark Fantasy was made real, and there's not really anything to say about this guy other than THE Manwhore.

AND THE GUY WHO WENT NUCLEAR WITH DWEOMER ABUSE BECAME A SOMTIMES RAM SOMETIMES RAMPIG WITH SHITLOADS OF POWER SO ABSURD THAT NO PC IS JUSTIFIED IN EVER BEATING HIM EXCEPT ACTS OF GOD.

So these guys duke it out, because in the Abyss titles have power, AKA achivements and also because the Abyss is a proving ground for the title of "Who can break the universe using buttloads of meta".

And then That first experiment thrown into Jurrassic Park?

Comes back- JACKED AS ALL HELL AND IMMEDIATELY FLOODS THE KILL FEED WITH MORE DEMON LORDS THAN THESE TWO CHUCKLEFUCKS COMBINED, SHITPOSTING WITH TWO HEADS, ROT TENTACLES AND THE VERY DEFINITIVE TERM OF "WHY MANKIND ACTIVELY AVOIDS THE WOODS NOW" THIS THING PROBABLY EATS SKINWALKERS FOR BREAKFAST AND IS FLOODING EVERYTHING WITH ROT SLAP RAPE, NOTHING CAN STOP HIM, HE'S FLYIGN AROUND, SPAMMING LIMITED WISH, HE'S SMACKING HEADS OPEN AND EATING BRAINS, HE'S TURNIGN PEOPLE INTO MAGGOTS WITHOUT THE ALIGMENT SYSTEM INVOLVED, HE'S FUCKING THE BLONDE QUEEN OF THE SUCCUBI WHO AT LEAST HAS THE COURTESY OF FUCKING YOU BEFORE SHE KILLS YOU UNLIKE THE NEW ONE AND WAS ALSO IN 1E.

THIS GUY IS SO BOSS, BBEG BBC AND FAT FUCK ORCUS TRY TO TEAM UP TO STOP THIS EXPANDED MANDRIL TENTAPOD BITCHSLAP EXTRODINAIRRE, BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP MONKEY TROUBLE, HE CLAIMS THE LAYERS OF THE BIG ABYSS WHOPPER BIG MAC AND HE SETS SHIT STRAIGHT, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY ORATES THE ULTIMATE FORM OF BLASPHEMIC SHITPOSTING IN THE GAME CHAT, HE LITERALLY DOES NOTHING BUT TALK SHIT AS HE DOES THIS, HE'S GOT TWO HEADS- BUT YOU KNOW THE REAL FUCKED UP PART>

THOSE TENTACLES ARE ALSO HIS DICKS

YES,

HE DICKSLAPPED 200+ (20?) DEMON LORDS INTO FUCKING NECROSIS LIKE A WALKING HIT OF KROCODIL

AND THEN HE FINDS THE CENTIPEDE, THE ULTIMATE PRINCE OF DEMONS AND JUST FUCKING WRECKS HIS SHIT AND THROWS HIM INTO THE DARK SOULS INTRODUCTION SEQUENCE

AND HE CLAIMS THE TITLE, AND LITERALLY DOES NOTHING BUT TALK SHIT ON PLANAR TWITTER ABOUT ALL THINGS GOOD AND DECENT AS HE RUNS AN MURDERHOBO AZTEC EMPIRE FULL OF THOTS AND CUNTS WHO WANT HIM DEAD.

HE ALSO MADE FRIENDS WITH DAGON, AND THEY RIDE EACH OTHER LIKE A BRUTAL METAL COVER OF FREE WILLY OR SOME SHIT. HE'S THE HAPPIEST DEMON-SPAM RAPE MONKEY EVER.

AND HE EATS SKINWALKERS AND BRAINS.

AND HIS ONE WEAKNESS IS THAT HE SUFFERS FROM THE SAME CONDITION AS WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU SPLIT THE HEMISPHERES OF A HUMAN BRAIN IN TWO. THE GUY CAN'T MULTITASK VERY WELL BECAUSE OF IT, HE LITERALLY CAN ONLY BE BEATEN BY A ZERG RUSH

YOU KNOW WHAT HIS RECRUITMENT INVOLVES

EATING A PIECE OF YOUR OWN FUCKING BRAIN, NO ANESTHETIC, LIKE SOME KALI MAR MONKEY BRAIN SHIT WITH THE SPOONS.

HE MADE DEATH KNIGHTS BY ROT-FUCKING A TRAITOR KNIGHT TO DEATH WHO THOUGHT HE WAS IN FOR A GOOD DEAL, BUT HE LITERALLY GOT FUCKED IN THE EYEHOLES OVER LIKE 3 DAYS OR NIGHTS TILL HE WAS INFUSED WITH THE ABYSS'S HATE FOR EVERYTHING, AND THE NEGATIVE ENERGY PLANES DESIRE TO KILL EVERYONE- THUS MAKING DEATH KNIGHTS.

SOMEHOW THIS WAS STOLEN THOUGH, NEVER REALLY EXPLAINED DESPITE YOU KNOW- IT REQUIRES YOU TO BE LITERALLY FUCKED TO DEATH WHILST GETTING NURGLE ROTTED OUT, BUT I DIGRESS, THAT'S HOW DEATH KNIGHTS STARTED OUT. KRYNN'S DEAL WAS A SEPARATE THING BECAUSE DEITIES AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY STRONGER THAN THIS BRAND OF DEATH KNIGHT.

AGAIN, THIS IS A GUY WHO CAN ONLY BE BEATEN UNDER TWO CONDITIONS-
ZERG RUSH
&
CAVES

DEMOGORGON CANNOT DROWN YOU IN DEMONS IF YOU'RE FIGHTING HIM IN A CAVE, AS BALDURS GATE AND NEVERWINTER ONLINE HAS PROVEN. EVEN AN AVATAR OF THIS GUY IS BAD NEWS- BECAUSE DEMONSPAM.

THE EFFECTIVELY SUMMARY OF A DEMOGRGON FIGHT IS LITERALLY THROWING A MASSIVE DEMON BESTIARY AT A PC IF THEY ARE NOT IN FIGHTING RANGE OF DEMOGORGON.

AND THEN THERE'S THE WHOLE "OH YEAH HE HAS ALLIES, HOPE HE DOESN'T SUMMON IN ADDITIONAL DEMON LORDS."

420 DRIZ'ZT BEATING HIM WAS THE GREATEST COP-OUT EVER, AND AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT FIGHT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHAT WENT DOWN IN NEVERWINTER ONLINE, WHERE THE MOMENT DRIZ'ZT TRIES HIS R.A SALVATORE'S BOYTOY OF SHOUNEN FRIENDSHIP AND VICTORY NARRATIVE SHIT DEMOGORGON JUST SMACKS HIM INTO AN ABYSS PORTAL AS THOUSANDS DIE IN WARHAMMER 40K DROVES TO KILL JUST A TEENY TINY BIT OF THIS RAPE TRAIN WHILST ALSO BEIGN ASSISTED BY A MIND FLAYER WITH THE VOICE OF MYSTERIO FROM THE SPIDERMAN 1 PS1 GAME.

DID I FORGET TO MENTION HE CAN DRIVE YOU MAD BY USING LAZER EYES? YEAH, MONKEY TROUBLE, NOT EVEN ONCE, CONSIDER YOURSELF FUCKED IF HE STARTS GOING APE ON YOUR ASS.

THERE'S ALSO THE FACT HIS HEADS MAY OR MAY NOT EXTENDED AS LONG AS HIS TENTACLES DO, HE LIKES TO MIX UP HIS FORM A BIT.

OH RIGHT, IF A TIEFLING, OR ANYTHING FIENDISH BEATS HIM, THEY END UP IN A "NO JOHN, YOU ARE THE DEMONS" AND THEN THEY GET THE TITLE, SO THAT'S FUCKED.

EVEN THEN, FUCKING DAGON SHOWS UP TO SAVE HIM AND EAT EVERYONE AND DRIVE THEM MAD WHILST HIS !LEFTMYDEEPONES AT HOME THRALLS AND OTHER ELDRITCH FUCKNOPES LIKE HIS LITERALLY BONGO-BONGO FROM OCARINA OF TIME MIXED WITH LOBSTER COSMIC HORRORS OF EVHHILLLLE COME TO ALSO ASSIST.

But yeah, Demogorgon and his clan of "Every stereotype of primitive fucked up metal cover brutes living in /k/ tier skinwalker innawoods monsters and template stacked horrors from The Christian definition of hell before Dante fucked everything up" are pretty much THE SWARM

Every day he literally get's up on a podium and just shitposts all the time when he's not arguing with his two brains, because apparently if one head gains dominance he gets the Demon King title, which apparently has more power than his Prince title which lets him dominate all demons that are not Lords and spam Demons time infinity.

Also Wishspam.

So King title probably lets him bring back the Obrityhs, and pop in a Demon Lord, increasing potential for all out unstoppable rape-force invasion.

Also, he turns people into abyssal larvae petitioners- No fucking CE alignment required, he WILL violate you and turn you evil or simply use this as a means to eat you, and this is one of his greatest secrets and achivements.

And even his Avatar form is as bad as he is- opposed to all the other Demon Lords who are utter shit by comparison.

Also, he has a vast collection of fucked up offspring and a son that even he cannot bear to look at who is just THAT horrifying that even MalcanTHOT says "Bitch, you ain't mine."

...

>HE'S FUCKING THE BLONDE QUEEN OF THE SUCCUBI WHO AT LEAST HAS THE COURTESY OF FUCKING YOU BEFORE SHE KILLS YOU UNLIKE THE NEW ONE
Actually, the new one is quite likely to fuck you. She'll kill you eventually, but she'll fuck you first.

...

No she really won't, it's kind of a thing, most Succui past the blonde ones era are in fact as the Nameless One describes them, pretty much awful in the bedroom, and only use the Sex as a means before they go all CE on you- The point of a succubus is still "Everything that man hates about women given flesh, in the kind of love/hate manner you expect, with the whole Iillith/Adam/eve deal

MalcanTHOT is really fucking used goods though, like holy fuck, they state she hate's Graz'zt and it's shown she wars with him but then contridict that with "they fuck-hate-contest" with their avatars in the ultimate Lewd-off when the avatars meet and other shit.

The Deal with Succubi is more or less- Seduce- Energy Drain, Talk shit- the actual ratio of "Actually knows what she's doing" is abnormally low.

As for Redeemed Succubi, we've- well, you know who, and the one from the Silver Skeleton Questline who's boning a Solar or some other Divine, and the Herald of Wee Jas introduced in Wee Jas's Clergy article.

But yeah, Succubi are a pretty clear-cut deal in terms of "Teaser over pleaser" sort.

Stronger ones offer concubine status if you beat them into a pulp but trust me, they end up being the sort to try to kill you in every underhanded THOT move conceivable until they simply give up or actually warm up to you, but again, the stress is not worth it for breaking them in.

And again, as the Nameless one said, they're actually pretty awful in terms of intimacy- or at least their entire mystique and selling point is downplayed and is effectively it's own form of propaganda.

Now, a Succubi with sealed energy drain, and has clearly had an alignment change via the wonders of Ritualism and extended psychological boredom torture is another matter- some are still feisty though, I recall the NWN Succubi used in that dead Wizards tomb who looked decent enough, and decided to attack you thinking you are an idiot for doing so when you really were at a point to one-shot her.

Point is, you may just consider a Succubi to be more on par with an underhanded Balor just waiting to hit stereotypical CE behaviors because it's their subtype and makeup of nature- but their nature to betray is something of a double sword- which is why they CAN turn good in some instances.

That, and fucking ritualism, why the fuck would you introduce a system that lets you opt out of Types and Subtypes is beyond me, but fuck me, you could swim in Succubutt by finding one that sells the services and telling him "what If i told you I could bind sensual shapeshifters, bore them to madness with awful music, and bardic performances to the point they'd accept the conditions of any pact, namely to have the (Evil) subtype removed from them and to work for us at a brothel that sells their services, without risk of moral consequence because they're no longer technically Demons but also are, because reasons?"

Hell, it's something that'd work on a shitload of CE Outsiders who have behavioral enforcements via design and how objective alignment works, you've got yourself a working trade.

Ah Jesus Christ, I think the giant rapemonkey is the finale of our current campaign. We fucked.

They're vunerable to nail bats and fire

The Biggest place full of the Teaser/pleaser sorts are the ones tied to MalcanTHOTS politics though, you know the whole generic Female pecking order thing? Yeah, that plus Demons all day every day, that's MalcanTHOT's entire court explained- Fall-from'grace's mother is even in on it.

But the hierachy of that place relates to Info-brokering sex that starts out nice then turns into a /d/-guro nightmare for the parties involved, and there's also Incubi but it seems no-one ever seems to give an actual fuck about them when it comes to source material representation, because half the time you see cambions, tieflings, and other half-fiends in their place for some reason, and generally is tied to Brood-mothering, where having kids is basically starting up your own little minion-circle of job-distribution to raise one's status and stuff, again, petty female things taken to "how it works in worse than hell-hell."

Succubi also broker Esoteric secrets to wizards as say, the evil coutnerpart to an Arch-Mage's helpful "How the fuck do you know all this metashit" Nymph/fey and even has like a few templates and PrC's that suited them as extra extensions of thier powers- and even the seven deadly sins as divine domains and other stuff, because they're also the Matriarchs of what we know as "Pure CHA Abuse."

I wouldn't worry, people who run Demon Lords don't count on consistency of the statblocks or the actual history behind them, unless the DM is as Autistic as I am, you're sure to win.

Unless he's played BG2 and has a tiny inkling of how to abuse the powers of Demon Spam. Like making a huge roll a Dxinfinite for Demon spam table for all demons that aren't demon lords or surviving minor Obrityhs

>MalcanTHOT is really fucking used goods though
>a succubus is used goods
>this is somehow surprising
