In Honor of Netflix's Stranger Things: Demogorgon, Prince of Demons

Demogorgon	Solitary, Huge, Stealthy, Planar, Terrifying
Withering tentacles (d10+3 damage)	20 HP	1 armor
Reach, Near
Special Qualities: Gaze attack can charm or drive insane

Demogorgon appears as an 18-foot-tall (5.5 m), reptilian (or amphibious) hermaphroditic demon prince with a somewhat humanoid form. Two mandrill heads sprout from his twin snake-like necks, and his arms end in long tentacles. His two heads have individual minds, called Aameul (the left head) and Hethradiah (the right head). One of Demogorgon's best-kept secrets, even from his cultists and minions, is that his two personas strive to dominate (and even kill) each other, but are unable to because they are aspects of one another. Despite this duality, many of Demogorgon's plots revolve around either permanently separating or uniting these two personas. His blue-green skin is plated with snake-like scales, his body and legs are those of a giant lizard, and his thick tail is forked. His appearance testifies to his command of cold-blooded things such as serpents, reptiles, and octopi.

August has not been a good month so far for Dungeon World...

Dungeon World fans recent events have distracted me from what is truly important. I can only say I hope better days and months are ahead...new material will be forthcoming when time and energy present themselves. I have written a lot of this material in hospitals with my late dad or mom, but right now I'm just too exhausted despite the escape it sometimes gives me...
