Ilsidahur made his debut in Dungeon #10, in the adventure "The Shrine of Ilsidahur" (March/April 1988). The adventure took place in an abandoned temple located in the Amedio Jungle in the World of Greyhawk campaign setting.[1]
Ilsidahur was mentioned years later in the publication of Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss in 2006.[2] Ilsidahur was mentioned briefly in Demogorgon's entry in "The Demonimicon of Iggwilv" series in Dragon #357 (2007).[3]
Ilsidahur received further description in the fourth edition book Demonomicon (2010).[4]
Ilsidahur appears as a 12-foot-tall (3.7 m) ape with a long prehensile tail and bronze ram-like horns. He particularly prizes objects made of bronze. It is assumed his layer of the Guttering Grove is a jungle realm filled with bar-lguras, nalfeshnees and other simian monsters.
Ilsidahur is an ally of Demogorgon; he guards the landward access to Demogorgon's layer, Gaping Maw. The two once conspired to slay the eladrin paragon Gwynharwyf, but she was rescued by her consort Morwel while the two demons were squabbling over how best to torture her to death.
Ilsidahur rules the 90th layer of the Abyss called the Guttering Grove.
