Baphomet
The Demon Prince of Beasts
Planar tanar’ri lord of mazes, beasts and minotaurs [he/him] / CE
Lair: Abyss / Layer 600 — The Endless Maze
Baphomet is a cunning and savage demon who rules over a vast labyrinth from his palace, the Lyktion. The 600th layer of the Abyss, the Endless Maze, is his domain, wherein he experiments to develop new forms of demon and unleash them upon the planes. Baphomet is a patron of minotaurs (and resembles one himself) and some evil giants; he has a longstanding enmity with Yeenoghu and shares a portion of his territory with the nightmarish obyrith Pale Night. Wickedly intelligent, Baphomet has bested would-be contenders to his title by melding bestial ferocity and brute force with understated but sharp tactics and a keen eye for analysing vulnerabilities.
