Fun Demogorgon fact not mentioned in this video, straight from the 3.5 Fiendish Codex I: Demogorgon shares his home with another demon lord that his powers don't actually work on, but said demon lord bows down to Demogorgon willingly regardless. The Obyrith lord known as Dagon.

[@NA-AN]

I personally prefer Dagon.

[@Krishnath.Dragon]

@Jean Pagette Other Demon Lords fear both Dagon and the Pale Lady, however, both of them defer to Demogorgon as their superior, possibly because that by being among the last true Obyriths, they have no interest in starting a conflict with the more powerful demon lords.

[@joefollo4891]

@@tobor88 I meant, Demogorgon doesn’t get as much “exposure” as Orcus because of what they do, hence skewed popularity. The Undead are a staple of fantasy in general, so Orcus gets to ride on that. Information about Demogorgon is buried here and there, and none of it really comes to prominence as much as the Undead. Orcus also generally gets major mentions in 5e core rule books. Even in campaigns, it’s probably easier to use Orcus because he does have stable plot-driving cults and popular enemies across almost all CRs, and even a plot-device Artifact right in the DMG. This is easily one of the better demon princes to use in campaigns. There’s so much confusion around Demogorgon, as well as all of this absent context, as the video said at the start.

The Demogorgon is such a great character, he's a perfect chaotic evil villain.

[@nicknevco215]

@HunterkageJoestar maybe both as there are two minds

[@whiskeyhound]

@HunterkageJoestar Slavery via force absolutely fits the chaotic vibe of the abyss, it's a realm where the strongest rule and everything weaker serves out of fear of death.

[@whiskeyhound]

@HunterkageJoestar It's not slavery in an organised sense where there's overseers to keep demons in line, it's slavery in that every demon weaker than demogorgon knows that if they can't avoid him, do what he tells you to if you don't want to die, which is absolutely a chaotic way to behave.

[@whiskeyhound]

@HunterkageJoestar The freedom aspect is as ramped up as it could be, it's ultimate freedom without any moral or societal limits on what's considered acceptable. You'd need to read material from older editions where the sheer brutality of the abyss isn't glossed over anywhere near as much as 5e's depiction, such as the fiendish codex 2: hordes of the abyss where it's describing as basically a endless series of nightmarish locations filled with screaming and roaring as demons torture and kill each other to stave off their endless bloodlust and frustration at being too weak to stand up to the more powerful ones like Balors.

[@salhanus5130]

@HunterkageJoestar My understanding is that they don't follow orders.. they just can't do anything he doesn't approve of. He can tell them to do things, but they don't have to.. but.. they also can't do something he doesn't want them to.. and if they try to fight him, they'll die. So it really is control through chaos... and it's what makes him extra powerful in a world of chaos. It's extra difficult to challenge him because of his raw power.. though the raw power in and of itself is a form of control.. but that's just the nature of concentration of power.. power is the ability to drive change in a direction of your choosing.

[@stevenraycopley8885]

From deep in the depths of your mind, comes the sound of several raspy voices speaking as one: "Fear not mortal, soon you will be one with us...do not run, for you will only die tired..." as the voice fades out of your thoughts you feel the ground beneath your rumble violently as the massive creature moves from the shore to the center of you hamlet. The monster moved in such a terrifyingly fast manner that his limbs seemed to simply blend in and out of reality. In a heartbeat the gigantic beast stands above you. Its massive, terrible eyes stare down at you, and your body grows weak. You cannot stop yourself from falling to the ground. Your hand goes to your chest and that is when you glance at your own flesh...it has begun to blister and boil away, with tiny specs and pieces floating up toward the hideous creatures maw. The beast simply stares at you, its mouth slightly agape, but not moving. Suddenly your mind is shattered by a hellish shriek and the beast demands: "Bow to me, or be one with me...."

I'm surprised Demogorgon's soul-stealing shenanigans haven't incurred the wrath of the gods whose souls should be rightfully theirs, or _especially_ the wrath of Kelemvor. I figured the Judge of the Damned would not take too kindly to diverting souls around the Fugue Plane. As a god, couldn't Kelemvor just walk into the Abyss and kill Demogorgon?

[@Voldrim359]

Yeah... You don't simply walk into the abyss, first of all, some demon lords can fight gods, like Orkus who killed Primus one time, the other, the power of a god could be reduced if he is not in his plane while demon lords and demogorgon are in their prime while they are in the abyss

[@shadowlord1418]

[@louiesatterwhite3885]

​@@Voldrim359orcus killed Primus using a word of power that the very magic of was later destroyed by the gods. Also primus reformed quite soon after.

[@agentchaos9332]

I'd say Kelemvor would beat Demogorgon in a 1v1 fight, even if it took place in the Abyss..but he'd have to fight through around 2 million lesser demons, and several demon lords almost as strong as Demogorgon to reach him. An avatar probably couldn't even make it through the whole Gauntlet to reach the Prince, meaning he'd need to use his true, Godly form to push through the army, which..even if you use the rule that only an equal or higher ranked God can kill another God, getting their real, true body destroyed is significantly more inconvenient then an avatar. If nothing else it would probably render them vulnerable to Imprisonment & Demogorgon might even be in a position to steal their divine power, if a deity was defeated,& reduced to 0 hit points in his realm.

Seems like you could create a horror campaign just by having adventurers fight a cult of the Demogorgon.

[@toddkes5890]

Start with reports of people disappearing, and monsters appearing near a small Town. The characters head there, and have fun fighting the various monsters. The monsters are often basic chimeras, or weird mixtures of horse and rider (not just centaurs). Have the town mayor let the PCs use a room at his house for them to rest/recuperate between monster killing, and at the same time the PCs get to meet the mayor's family. While in town slowly ramp up the monster production so it turns from an investigation into a fight (i.e. 1 monster every couple weeks, then a week and a half, then a week, then every 5 days, aso). Give the impression that the situation is getting worse, and if the monsters are not dealt with that the town will starve because nobody is safe enough to go outside and harvest food. Have a weak goblin tribe show up and steal apples from the orchard to help illustrate the problem. One of the mayor's family members is a 5-year old girl who wants to help others, but is sometimes found near the locations where monsters show up. As a result, the townspeople are saying that she is cursed and needs to be put to death. Cue the torch & pitchfork mob, which the players should try to talk down. Scans of her reveal that she is Good, and talking to her reveals that she is compassionate (good family raised her nicely) The catch: she is actually responsible, she was supposed to be twins to lead a Demogorgon cult, but fetus-in-fetu occurred and she absorbed her twin, also absorbing and combining the power. So she has powers to merge 2+ creatures into a single critter, but then she is scared of the result and runs away. The monster has gone insane from the (very painful) process, and lashes out in anger. Her actions to merge people would be described as her seeing that a farmer was angry at his horse, remembering that the PC on his horse got along nicely, so merged the farmer and his horse so they would get along. So the monsters are merely the symptom, the kind and innocent 5-year old kid is the real villain, but she is doing it out of (misguided) compassion. Give the players an idea that just a fragment of Demogorgon's power in this little girl was enough to cause the massive monster problem.

[@randyroper9648]

Thank you MrRhexx I love lore videos like this. Talk about a being with the Ultimate Gemini complex.

[@patricklawson]

This so great. I love these deep looks

[@okamiinukiba]

Loving the planes info. My players just got a house that a crazy wizard linked with all the planes but most portals have been broken so all your information is vital and appreciated.

[@diegotejada55]

Wooah are we starting a demon lord series?

[@dakotataylor8229]

i love your content. watched all your videos on this playlist and draw a lot of inspiration from them for setting up and running games or making new characters. definitely one of the best sources on youtube for this obscure lore. bravo.

[@bandito-yj3in]

would love a series on all of the demon lords

You can fight Demogorgon in Baldur's Gate 2 as the absolute OPTIONAL end-game boss. So far i found only 1 way to kill him with my warrior/rogue dualclass human. Set max ammount of spike traps around the room before triggering the battle. They will hit him before he gets all his protective magic right after fight starts. Cheesy i know, but i devised that by myself as a kid and the character was legit, so there is that

[@IFledFromKansas]

Clicked so fast. I've been reading about the demogorgan for a week!

[@tomkerruish2982]

Well done! I'd just like to add that the lore about death knights and retrievers being created by Demogorgon was in the first edition Fiend Folio. So, was Demogorgon originally one creature nearly split in twain or two creatures imperfectly fused into one? Personally, I favor the former, although I believe a case can be made either way. I'm basing my position on the lore that says Demogorgon was originally the first evil soul that fell into the Abyss; also, it's tidier, and I'm biased in that direction.

[@patrickshaw411]

It’s amazing how much lore has been withheld from the 5e books!

[@MuppetLord1]

He is really a lovable kind boi! :3

[@michaelminugh5357]

Well then... I have this huge map I've been wanting to use for a demon cult-oneshot, I had some ideas but nothing I was truly happy with... This video inspired me like crazy and now I just gotta finish up the details, really solid stuff as always MrRhexx!

[@simonwesterlund2151]

Got excited when I saw the Title.

[@Anaris10]

Where did you exit to?. Are you okay?.

[@simonwesterlund2151]

@@Anaris10 ok

[@danieljacobs8433]

I start the video and immediately see the map from Made In Abyss. That's the coolest Abyss right there in my opinion.

[@thewinner1396]

When a dnd video opens with a made in abyss map :'D

[@neilrachynski3242]

Thank you so much for this video. Definitely looking forward to your follow-up to it. I would love to see more about the history of the Abyss, including the Obyrith.

[@Gabrielzinho7891235]

This reminded me of the elder scrolls lore about how true/pure blooded vampires are born....yikes

[@vinceh.6997]

This video is awesome! I`m currently DMing Out of the Abyss and reading about the Rage of Deamons timeline. Its so nice to learn about additional Lore about him. Thank you very much vor that and comming Daemon Videos! I love it!

[@commanderblackheart5856]

And we’re not gonna mention dagon, he’s the one pulling the strings, and ironically, he’s probably one of, if not the least chaotic demon lord!

[@romankovbasniuk1826]

I am very happy with the choice of Frazetta artwork during this video. Also, am excited to learn more about the first evil soul of the abyss.

[@ogalog]

I've been waiting for this for so long!

[@General12th]

19:39 I can imagine that the ixitxachitl are so favored by Demogorgon because, thanks to some quirk of their biology or psychology, communities of ixitxachitl aren't capable of infighting. This means their cults to Demogorgon stay focused and therefore _consistent._ Demogorgon can rely on ixitxachitl cults to always give him souls and worship, day in and day out, for centuries.

[@erezamir7218]

D&D was played as a roleplaying game in first edition

[@SQlikeaboss]

I love these long videos always give me a something to listen too
