Why are these giant oozes the most reasonable demon lords?

Apathy. You are not important enough for Juiblex to stop angsting in corner of creation. Until you poke him with a stick, that is. Then he is gonna go full Jojo

[@TenositSergeich]

In Pathfinder, Jubilex (this spelling is canon in D&D but only Juiblex is licenced) has been expanded on somewhat. He is still a slob of a power, originating as a mindless qlippoth (obyrith) lord which simply consumed all it happened across until he absorbed a belligerent forgotten demon lord of poison and caverns and gained his powers and connection to sin. As such, Jubilex is associated with sloth, poison, and also substance abuse - alcoholics and drug abusers, poisoners of own bodies and minds, can find their way into his cults in indifference for anything but things that can net them more craven stuff. Pathfinder also introduces omoxes, the ooze demons, the desecrators of beauty - these humanoid-shaped molten piles of filth often act as Jubilex's evangelists, though they could be found in employ of most demon lords. It is also stated that Jubilex's domain is connected with most of Abyssal metropoli via portals in their sewage systems and dump pits - thus, an unfortunate escape can net your plane-hopping adventurers in far greater heap of trouble than they might realize at first.

[@danieldeihl8237]

Juiblex has been one of my favorite Demon Lords since I first started playing almost ten years ago. He's the embodiment of the body horror one witnesses from Oozes and Slimes. The other Demon lords call him Lord of Nothing yet no one challenges him. Great video AJ. Also isn't it weird that the 5e stats for him don't have immunity to acid?

[@AJPickett]

Indeed it is.

[@erickchristensen746]

As the literal aspect of the creation of the Abyss, it's pretty nifty how, according tot he other demon lords, such an unsuspecting and minor demon lord is one of the most ancient and probably the single most important demon in all of the Abyss. Demogorgon's self imposed demon prince tittle be damned if Juiblex ever decided to actually get up and do something. He's basically the truest "Demon" of them all presently except maybe the few obrynths left such as Dagon and the former prince Obox-ob that still remain. Also ont he count of other demon lords trying to classify Juiblex as Tanar'ri or Obrynth, the explanation here as the "wound of the abyss" seems more like he is a completely unique demon unto himself which I love.

[@jacobfreeman5444]

The Prince of demons is far from weak. Demogorgon secured his title by slapping the other two contenders silly. And Juiblex doesn't care who the leader is so long as he gets to cause his own brand of wanton destruction just like a good demon. Juiblex just has no patience for politics. Or any being he cannot completely dominate like he does his slimes. If anything it is strange that there are at least three demons who have the inclination to enough tolerance to form kingdoms...

[@jgr7487]

Zuggtmoy is a "good" girl for fighting this sickly nonsense, while blessing beer, wine & cheese!

[@markbenand]

I wonder why no one has seemed to point out that as a being that was formed from the chaos of the abyss being made and is in fact an avatar and representation of the chaos and depravity of the abyss, that Juiblex's nature and abilities to translate into more abstract areas. Not only is he physically shapeless and chaotic but you could even go further and add that as he was the first thing formed by the shard of evil and manifested from the abyss itself, he has the ability to connect to the abyss that no other demon lord has and also doesn't have the same restrictions as other demon lords. It reminds me of the line from the Immortal Hulk when the Devil Hulk says, "I don't do rules" then proceeds to break the laws of nature by almost breaking vibranium with a punch or being alive and able to move even when his body is cut to pieces while then reforming after the pieces are released. Take what Juiblex is to the abstract level and you've got a thing with almost no restrictions. Hell, I'd make him like The Thing from John Carpenter's movie and have Juiblex able to take any form and gain the abilities of those he consumes as he would be able to copy and adapt to anything. I'd love to see a situation where a demon lord realizes what Juiblex actually is and frighteningly exclaim, "You shouldn't be able to do things like this. It's impossible!", only for Juiblex to say, "Rules and restrictions are for those bound to shape and crafted by the intelligent hands. I was born from chaos itself. I AM THE ABYSS!"

[@jacobfreeman5444]

Keep in mind Juiblex is just as shattered as the Abyss itself. He hasn't conquered all because he can't bring himself to focus enough to begin consumming all in earnest. What we see are the brief moments of coherency he has. Those are enough to achieve what he has. Should he ever manage true self mastery he could potentially take control of the whole Abyss and do what Obox-ob failed to do.

[@joedominguez8064]

I don’t know why but Juiblex has always been my favorite Demon lord. More akin to a force of nature than a mustache twirling embodiment of evil

[@jacobfreeman5444]

I have a different idea of the relationship between the faceless lord and the oozes. They are literal extensions of him. He simply cannot divide his attention sufficiently to control them all at the same time. Thus there are uncounted numbers that are left to their own devices until something of interest happens near them. It doesn't matter to him if any one is destroyed because he is vast on an unimaginable scale. Are you aware and concerned when some dead skin flakes off? Same thing.

[@markusnavergard2387]

So in away Jubilex could be seen as the most dangerous of all demon lords, whean others throw their follows at eachother in great wars in some grasp for more and temperor power, jubilex takes the long view. After all, life in the material plane came from single celled forms, or "primordial Ooze" and thus it all shall return to him. The lord of ooze might work slowly, but since his mineons are among the most unseen and neglected of all DnD denizens it might be he who stands triumphant in the end.

[@markusnavergard2387]

is there a spell like " flesh to ooze"? if not it should be and specific to Jubilex´s followers. also, i think that demon lords should have a physical influence on demons in their service, that they take on aspects of their masters, like a marilith under Lolths control has arachnid features like spider fangs,eyes,arms and maybe even segmented snake tail. might be the case though.

[@AJPickett]

Juiblex may not have that influence due to his unique origin

[@kevinchristiansen4348]

When I think of Juiblex, I think of Oozemasters (Masters of the Wild Pg.67). A cadre of Oozemaster cultists of the slime lord would be a fantastic encounter. A cavern with walls lines with slimes, oozes and jellies. All swirling around a chanting circle of Oozemasters summoning some avatar of Juiblex just as the adventurers walk in.

[@felixrivera895]

You know. The part of the Abyss where the Sibriex live is considered by some to be the elemental plane of flesh, and the Tanari to be flesh elementals, thus the concept that Juiblex is the festering of the wound where the shard of ultimate evil pierced the world.

[@robertwilson2516]

Literally setting up for this right now. My players wanted to do a 9 Hells Campaign. Players picked a layer & decided to serve under Bael & try to help him conquer the 9. While this is happening, trough some sick ass intrigue & deals gone wrong Orcus has slain Graz'zt & now rules 4 layers of the Abyss. Bael, Lord of the 1-3rd & the players cant hold off the undead hordes forever so I'm working in Juiblex offering an tentative alliance to Bael bcz the spread of undeath kills off his food source & his long term goals to consume all living matter.

This just makes me wonder why there aren't more creations of Juiblex all over the multiverse. He's always supposedly cranking out new slime monsters but the ooze category of monster in the books is woefully under-populated. Not to mention there's only a single ooze at CR 10 (Elder Oblex) and nothing beyond that, with most of them being lower than CR 5. Just begs the question of where all the supposedly big bad ooze experiments are at.

[@zeburancher9480]

I respect Juiblex for doing what he loves and just fully ignoring literally everything that attempts to get in his way; nothing anyone does affects what he is doing in anyway. They think he doesn't matter, he is just trash without any will; and he knows they don't matter, they are just trash with will. reminds me of Bobby from King of the Hill, in the episode 'an officer and a gentle boy'; after failing the 'break' Bobby's willpower using every possible method, Hank and Cotton Hill muse that '[Bobby is like mush], you can't build him up, but you cannot break him down either. In a funny way, mush kind of has the edge.' the possible merging of the 528th layer of the abyss (6:19) with the 222nd (8:19, not 220th, despite what it says in the captions) layer makes me wonder about the nature of the abyss; it pulls locations, places, into itself by corrupting them, creating new 'layers' which are disconnected or connected together chaotically. of course random merging and splitting could occur, it is just pure chaos, but perhaps as things and places fall deeper into the abyss they will 'merge' more and more.

It is actually quite apt, when dealing with toxic substances, fungi often adopt this approach of staying as close to the surface as they possibly can. That's for example why old developing fluid gets covered in mold despite being horribly toxic to most microorganisms, the fungus can skim the surface and only absorb the nutrients while avoiding the toxic silver ions.

Been thinking about reflavoring the Echo Knight and they just summon a slime version of themself instead of a shadow. Also maybe the Unearthed Arcana Warlock: Lurker in the Deep and reflovor with Slime. Appreciate your time and hope you have a blessed day.

I have a theory That when the queen of chaos attacked the first ruler of the abyss She did it on a conceptual level right? What is what she did was split him in to many pieces and this is one of them It would explain a lot Following from that I think what she actually did was to break up the different domains of evil into their own grouping So originally the first ruler of the abyss was and almost all-powerful singular who held the domain of evil but when she did whatever it was it created a paradox which split him into many forms

"... a shapeless and utterly evil mass spawned from the very birth of the Abyss itself ..." so, are you saying that Jubilex is essentially the intelligent afterbirth left over from the birth of the Abyss? if so, perhaps the Abyss intends to eat Jubilex, or is even actively and constantly trying to eat Jubilex, in the way that mothers of some human cultures eat the placenta after childbirth. and the only thing that keeps Jubilex going is its own voracious and single-minded quest to consume everything else first. no wonder it doesn't have time to get involved in the schemes of other demons!

[@docbaker3333]

I love Juiblex when he is sentient as he's much more interesting than a Demonic slime mold. there just something so intriguing about this cunning, Lovecraftian, all loathing horror who prefers mindless oozes that he can use as both slaves and avatars although I personally believe that he uses his Oozes because he finds the independent minds of mortals are too much of a variable to be relied upon in his multiverse wide schemes.

Oooooh boy. This guy here. My brother loved him, and seemed to find savage deligh in throwing his.... children at us in large numbers. Because..... I guess he hates armor, and slashing weapons.

AJ: You, Sir, do your homework! I love the many details you provide that most of us would never know about. It makes me wonder how you manage to squeeze into all the inaccessible corners of the world in order to find this knowledge. Hmmm... 🤨

[@AJPickett]

Hmmmm. 😅

[@moogleplay9131]

Man, after watching all of these videos I'd LOVE to play in a campaign of yours!

[@GnomeGrown-pq1ud]

Awesome review on Juiblex Aj looking forward to Pazuzu and hope to see a more in depth Dagon love the Lovecraftian flavoured demon lords also would a review on a Yellow King demon lord or whatever be an idea you'd be interested in?

[@AJPickett]

I can't think of much else I could say about Dagon really. Plenty more demon lords to cover :)

[@GnomeGrown-pq1ud]

@@AJPickett good deal, thanks for sharing your take on the crazier Lovecraftian fiends and in general for all the stuff you put out

Agreement

[@0PsychosisMedia0]

Forgive my...newbie question here. But if Juiblex is the god of Slime and Oozes..then where does Ghaunadaur fall in. Or is that not in D&D proper? Its been a long time since i explored D&D, Its been the mid 80s that i last played.

[@AngelusAnsell]

To put it simply: they're the same guy.

[@AJPickett]

You know how slimes and oozes can sometimes divide when you slash them with a sword... *points at ooze demon lords*

[@almitrahopkins1873]

Juiblex is an older name for Ghaunadaur, and not just specific to the Forgotten Realms and/or the Drow.

[@jacobfreeman5444]

Ghaunadaur is the divine aspect. Jubilex is the abyssal form. They are both essentially the same entity. Neither is truly harmed if you killed the current manifestation. Just forced to reform it's corporal frame while seething how it is gonna make you suffer.

[@jackalbackcrafts]

Literally my favourite Demon Lord, great vid. Anyone know where I could get a comprehensive list of all Oozes ever? :0

[@nickilecuyer7584]

I think the 2nd edition Monstrous Manual has a pretty decent compilation of them. You can get one on Amazon or drive thru rpg.

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

I liked Jubilex but this is like favored frosting on pudding cake.

[@Xkhaosxzeus]

Juiblex is the patron of weird hentai

[@sagesheahan6732]
