Cacodemon

Chaos god of anarchy, murder, and ogres Remnant of the Devil

  • Chaos pantheon

A cacodemon is a demonic remnant of the Devil, left over when Wakboth was smashed by the Block, a massive slab of truestone, in Prax. These beings more resemble huge monsters than demigods, but are the center of a loosely organized cult. They occasionally appear in person to aid or menace their few cultists. No more than a score of cacodemons are proven to exist worldwide, and only one ever appears at a time.
