![[DagonPic.png]] # Dagon _Obyrith Demon Lord | Prince of the Depths | [[Shadowsea]]_ ## Summary Ancient obyrith demon lord ruling the 89th layer of the Abyss. One of the oldest demon lords in existence, predating even the arrival of the first primordials. Appears as a colossal eel-like creature with a fanged fish face and numerous suckered tentacles. Following [[Graz'zt]]'s defeat and [[Orcus]]'s destruction, he allied with [[Demogorgon]] in the Great Abyssal Civil War—recognizing early that the Prince of Demons would achieve total dominance. %% ## At a Glance Colossal eel-like body (35+ feet) with a leering, fanged fish face and crimson eyes. Numerous suckered tentacles cover his rubbery black skin, two ending in finger-like digits with sharp talons. Speaks in deep, oceanic tones echoing from abyssal depths. Patient and calculating—rarely acts without long consideration. Ancient wisdom in every word. Traditionally isolationist, but pragmatic enough to choose winning sides. ## Personality Values knowledge above all else. Serves as [[Demogorgon]]'s intelligence network and strategic advisor. His realm [[Shadowsea]] borders Demogorgon's [[Gaping Maw]], making them literal neighbors. Worshipped by kuo-toa, kraken, chuuls, sea hags, and water nagas. ## Quote _"The depths remember all secrets, and I am the keeper of the depths. What knowledge do you offer in exchange for what you seek?"_ ## Background One of the most ancient powers in the Abyss, he has witnessed the rise and fall of countless demon lords while maintaining dominion over the abyssal waters. For eons maintained careful neutrality, serving as a broker of information to any demon lord willing to pay his price. When Demogorgon began his unprecedented campaign of conquest, Dagon recognized the inevitable. Rather than face subjugation, he allied early—bringing aquatic forces and intelligence networks to support the Prince of Demons. His agents provide intelligence on enemy movements; his aquatic demons control vital underwater routes between layers. ## Stats **Demon Lord** (official 5e stats or Fiendish Codex I). %%
