Kro'akoth is a nascent demon lord known as the Fire Serpent who led Abyssal armies as a general until he witnessed a great army of kholo1 sacrifice themselves for Lamashtu. He then decided to pursue true power by gaining the worship of other creatures. His initial followers were xulgaths, but he has expanded into other groups of unclaimed followers, inserting himself into forgotten cults or presenting himself to those who formerly lacked deities or worshiped false ones, not revealing what he truly was in many of these cases.2

Appearance

Kro'akoth resembles a stone serpent with a burning head.3
