Ⅰ

Chavazvug is a qlippoth lord with a particular hatred of demons instead of mortals. He is capable of growing new bodies when killed, and often launches suicidal assaults into demonic territory.

Appearance

Chavazvug resembles a mound of digestive organs held aloft by five long, thin legs with twitching entrails dripping below the torso. His entire body steams with heat, and his mere touch could set living creatures on fire. Chavazvug stands 50 feet tall and weighs 20,000 pounds.

Home

Chavazvug lives in a vast cavern in the deep Outer Rifts, strewn with boiling lakes of bile and seepage, from which Chavazvug can reform a new body if killed, unless the regenerating body is destroyed as well. Portions of the ceiling constantly fall, creating new craters. In time, this can destabilise demonic realms or even break into the Astral Plane; Chavazvug's cultists believe that he will become a true deity at that point.

Cults

Due to his hatred of demons, Chavazvug is the qlippoth lord with the least antagonism toward mortals, and does not care about his mortal cults. Most worshippers of Chavazvug are solitary pyromaniacs who consider spontaneous combustion to be the perfect fate, and never seek to do so on their own, considering it a reward. Chavazvug's sacred sites are buildings consumed by fire, especially former temples to demons.
