Ghalzarokhs, or tyranny demons, form from the souls of petty tyrants and would-be dictators.

Appearance

A ghalzarokh is a corpulent, four-armed demon covered in yellow-orange dragon scales. Draconic wings sprout from its back.

Society

Ghalzarokhs serve as commanders of Abyssal host who combine magical talents with considerable physical prowess to be powerful combatants. Notoriously egotistical and short-tempered, a ghalzarokh controls its minions through fear. Their penchant for rivalry makes them averse to cooperation, and even as the sole commander of a summoner's forces they resent servitude.
