Pazuzu: D&D’s Dark Angel of Corruption

[@matthewellis663]

I recently found your channel, and I gotta say that you have an excellent presentation. Great art selection, overall emphasis on character over specific stories and intelligent conjecture that can excite interest in a player. Keep it up man, keep improving where you can- I don’t see a world where your channel doesn’t grow so long as DND exists.

More abyss lore please!! Love these

[@The_NaturalOnes]

Will do!

[@brynnmorriganpollard8757]

Pazuzu's "real name" is Nigel...

[@The_NaturalOnes]

For real?

[@ETBass-zx3mw]

And the devil's name is Toby. He likes to keep things informal, as well as infernal.

Forgot it's pronounced like gel for a sec

Now I feel like Pazuzu must have be quite amused by Pun-Pun's antics roflmao EDIT: for some reason YT is being stupid and I can't respond to comments, not even to responses to my own (I even cleared cache and it's still broken) so I can't explain properly below: Pun-Pun is a character build from D&D 3.5 that at level 1 (Psion Sage Psicrystal, Skill Focus, 18 Int, and a masterwork reference needed) could pull off an infinite Wish loop that is started with Pazuzu that abuses the Candle of Invocation and Sarrukh to achieve ultimate power to the point people joke he'd win if Tharizdun and Asmodeus had a showdown.

Who the hell is punpun

He has one of Kratos' Blades of Chaos!

I believe the Devil in the Exorcist films is named Pazuzu.

[@Thom1212]

He is. The image @2:55 is an interpretation of the large statue of Pazuzu near the beginning of the film. IRL Pazuzu was invoked by ancient Babylonians seeking protection from Lamashtu (who was reputed to cause harm to mother and child at childbirth) However, Pazuzu was not a "good guy" nor "misunderstood". He was the "god" of the southwestern wind and associated with plagues.
