Ygorl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Ygorl is the Slaad Lord of Entropy. He is the second oldest slaad lord, after Ssendam, and is considered the de-facto ruler of Outer Plane of Limbo. As one of the exemplars of the Chaotic Neutral alignment, Ygorl is not truly evil, but still very dangerous, unpredictable, and self-serving.

Ygorl was created by Charles Stross for the Fiend Folio Tome of Creatures Maleovolent and Benign (1981). Ygorl had small parts in the anthologies Tales From the Outer Planes (1988) and Tales From the Infinite Staircase (1998).

[edit] Description

Ygorl appears as a blackened, bat-winged, skeletal hulk, wielding a large scythe. He rides a great wyrm brass dragon named Shkiv.

[edit] Ygorl in other media

Ygorl also appeared as the final boss in the game Demon Stone where he was voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan. In the game he was depicted as humanoid in appearance but was covered in tough chitinous armor and had many claw-like mandibles extending from the back of his head. It remains to be seen if Ygorl will return from death to once more wreak havoc.
