"Evil flying creatures" *shows picture of goose. Lmao well played.
I actually get along with geese pretty good. Even herd them when they get lost.
If you got a problem stuff Canada gooses then you've got a problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate!

Reminds me when I used an aspect of Pazuzu as the last fight in a campaign. I bought a Pazuzu mini for like 40 dollars and my wife said “sooo you’re gonna buy that to use it once?” Yes honey, yes I am.
2 things,
you forgot to mention that pazuzu can "change" his name to be able to get summoned by anyone in an attempt to pass as something other than a demon lord
WotC released a bookon DMsguild called minsc and boo journal of villainy and Pazuzu is in it. He is god damn terrifying with the ability to cast a stronger version of dispell magic at will (wich is also available as a legendary action)
Been looking for a reason to buy that, now I have to
@@63rdLegionGaming There is also a recipe for lichdom.
Yeah pazuzu is IMO the second most powerful demon prince in terms of stats, behind orcus
Hi hey did you know Pazuzu is also stated in the book: Minsc and Boo’s Journal of villainy
And boy oh boy is he fucking B R U T A L.
@@ItsJustN8 he’s pretty brutal but not anything extraordinarily insane. CR 25
@@ronben-ezer8373 he’s pretty powerful lol. Def one of the stronger demon princes
Very strong Simpsons/Futurama game in this one Jorphdan. Well done 👍
I wasn't going to include them, but then I thought "Won't someone think of the children?"
#DoItForTheKids
@@Jorphdan i was surprised not to see the Ned Flanders clip when you said the followers of Pazuzu were sometimes wearing nothing at all.
ka-kaw!
"I put you through college, you ungrateful Demon lord!"
😂😂😂
Just watched The Exorcist for the first time not too long ago. Perfect timing! I think for me, the Abyss is the most interesting place in the DnD multiverse.
Link for the lazy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pazuzu_(The_Exorcist)
“Tongue plucked raw from gaping maw”
Demogorgan: “Stay away!”
I love that Asmodeus has like 4 different origin stories and one super obscure one that is suposed to be the canon one, or not, he is a liar after all
I also like to think Asmodeus spread these rumors so nobody would know the truth.
Hope everyone has checked Mrrhexx's video on that.
@@Jorphdan I use the snake origine in my games
@@mynameisd2849yes primordial snake that fell 🎉
I use Pazuzu a lot in my games. He's always a mastermind planning convoluted schemes and manipulating people. I love the fact he's whole deal is just corruption and chaos
Man, those images from the Cartoon All Stars anti-smoking special really took me back!
Cartoon All Stars!! TO THE RESCUE!
FYI Pazuzu was actually used for good depending on circumstances...
"I am Pazuzu, son of Hanpa, king of the evil spirits of the air which issues violently from mountains, causing much havoc."
The demon Pazuzu was associated with ill winds, particularly the west wind which brought the plague.
His terrifying, scowling face and his scaly body repel the forces of evil, which meant that in certain circumstances the figure was considered a protective spirit.
Pazuzu, a demon from the hellish underworld, had the power of repelling other demons, and was thus invoked for beneficial ends, particularly to drive his wife Lamashtu back to the underworld.
Lamashtu was a demoness who attacked men to infect them with various diseases.
Good video. I like the idea of Pazuzu as the real bad guy, manipulating things from the shadows.
The players don't need to fight him or even meet him face to face.
Just as the players don't need to meet gods that help them if they're clerics or paladins they don't have to face the likes of Asmodeus or Pazuzu.
Pazuzu also strikes me as someone who always manages to be the lesser evil. As in, there will always be more powerful evils that the players will have to deal with while ignoring Pazuzu. Thus he can get rid of rivals and not be in direct danger.
The more I learn about Dnd demon lords the more I want a crossover with Shin Megami Tensei. Maybe when I finally play my first tabletop game this will be it.
Ah but we do have a 5e stat block for him. Minsc and Boo’s Journal of Villainy, which I think is official… even if it seems like WoTC forgot about it
Pazuzu is also mentioned in the new Radiant Citadel book, Fiend of the Hollow Mine adventure
He does not like to hang out where he's supposed to be. He's a watercooler kind of guy.
Kenku could fly back when Pazuzu was introduced.
Pazuzu is in 'Minsk and Boo's Journal of Villainy' which is kind of an official 5e book.
Honestly, the interaction between Pazuzu and Asmodeus could be one of the most fascinating and scandalous dialogues of all time. While some might take "more virtuous" to mean Asmodeus is simply vain - what if he was altruistic? Pazuzu knows how universes die - maybe a deific scandal is what turned Asmodeus?
I was a co-DM for a campaign years ago and a character was a winged Tiefling who was tied to Pazuzu. I wish I knew this information back then. Would've made it so much more interesting.
Whenever I hear Pazuzu I always think about rhe Exorcist. Mom and dad let me watch that movie when I was about 6-7 and it provided nightmare fuel for a couple decades lol. Thanx mom and dad.
7:41 the disembodied voice in the background scared the shit out of me
So, untitled goose serves (or secretly is) Pazuzu.
"secretly" 🙄🙄🙄
I played a halfling cleric of Pazuzu! In Pathfinder, where he's the rival of Lamashtu, who ascended to divinity in his stead when they killed Aroden, whose fallout was the Worldwound, which, incidentally, is championed by another demon lord, Deskari, who is the Locust Host and is said to have been created by Pazuzu's breath. Together with his companions, he built a city where Pazuzu first and Abadar second (the LN deity of cities, law, merchants and wealth) are worshipped. My cleric championed the idea of Good being really just a lull to oppress and kill you, as he experienced as a kid with the benefactors of his hometown, really a cult of Lamashtu bent on destroying the young through nightmares. He is saved by the Locusts Host (so really Descari,) that devours the benefactors who were haunting him down with their dogs. He has a vision of Pazuzu's home plane of High'n'Vania and becomes a faithful. He dreamed of spreading his faith beyond the city he built, to go fight at the Worldwound against those who would shut it down, and to become a demon with his own name. Unfortunately he died before reaching the 7th level (required for demonhood), his spirit devoured by the locusts and brought to his final place of unrest. It wouldn't be his final abode for long though: he is reincarnated as a blue kobold by a shaman who, against all evidence, maintained with his fellow adventurers that reincarnation is resurrection. Thats where he starts to doubt the mental capabilities of his companions 😀 But so be it, he is alive and kicking again... and Pazuzu won't talk to him anymore. He maintains the faith though, screaming into the darkness every night from the highest tower in the city until one day he receives the vision from the abyss of a cult of Lamashtu that threatens the city from the shadows, and he's back in business!
He was wont to have long walks with one fellow adventurer who maintained that Aroden preached freedom through wealth and organization, to hang the bowels of his enemies as decoration from the trees so that birds could devour them, and to defecate on relics of lamashtu.
I thought Asmodeus didn't use the shard to make his rod, I think he just incorporated into the Ruby Rod he was given when he was granted lordship of the Nine Hells.
Sounds like a bit of misconception between writers, besides conflicting stories like that fits into Asmodeus' MO.
pazuzu is mentioned in one of the adventures from journeys to the radiant citadel. hes got a pretty devilish pact with someone in it
Great vids, love your content!
Kind request for a vid about the Tarrasque!
how could i not think futurama when seeing that name
Anybody a fan of Graz'zt?
A man once told me that the "PH" was silent. That man was a liar.
What a coincidence I was just beginning to look into this guy as a future campaign villain
Amusement park in Wyoming. Supernatural reference. I like it.
This was great! Nice job!!!
I don't know saying Biggie Smalls name three times can really help liven up a party
The South Korean car Izuzu was named after Pazuzu, its Chairman and CEO.
I am content that the futurama reference was made LOL
and made... and made... and made... 😜
Funny how it sounded like you said "avernus" in that part where you rewound the tape. XD
"An ancient dying, red sun?" What is this, Krypton?
Dying Earth
Oh god that anti drug cartoon. I had almost forgot it lol
Correct me if I am wrong - or openly discuss - but I’ve taken to understand that Pazuzu was the entity also responsible for (in Forgotten Realms) for the corruption/ downfall of the ancient Aaeoree (ancestors of avian species of FR DND: aarakocra, wyverns, kenku, griffons etc) that were eventually succeeded by the amphibious-reptilian predecessors of the Yuan-ti. In my own investigations, it came about that Pazuzu infiltrated the Aaeoree and led them to their downfall and when they realised he was actually a Demon Lord he cast a great plague against them.
My own personal theory is that he is the ancient sky deity that caused the curse of the Kenku and burdened Quorlinn (the god of the kenku) with their cries and prayers for help, reducing them to what they are today.
You got it reverse. Sarrukh, amphibious-reptilian predecessors (as in creators) of yuan-ti were the first race.
Aaeoree were second or third, since there were also batrachi.
@@user-xw5xo3bv1n Interesting - I’d not realised this. Thanks for the correction, it will allow me to reassess my theory a little more. It’s quite simple to assume things you think are true. Cheers for the response!
Hey man! Awesome videos covering the demon lords! When willwe have the one on the god of the beholders, Great Mother?
Most things are up for debate. Most things. His being the eldest demon though? No thats not up for debate. Thats canon across all editions so far. Maybe when the next franchise owner comes about it will change. Until then, though, he is oldest. On a really cool side note, it is heavily and tantalizingly implied he is so old that he and he alone among obyriths is actually something even older than an obyrith in truth possibly. No obyrith more mysterious (that last part is an opinion though).
Nice touch at 4:20 mark
"Pazuzuuuuu!!!!!" -The Professor
even though i am years behind, i love your vids
Yay, welcome!
Always a good day when you upload a video! ❤️
Yay! Thank you!
1:04 XD
But wait I thought Asmodeus' Ruby Rod was a gift from Ao (The OverGod) and hence even though he's a Lesser Deity he has the power of contract that he extends to other devils
Ao doesn't have anything to do with Asmodeus, he's an overpower from Realmspace. I doubt Asmodeus gives a shit about him.
Have you looked into the scp universe❓
When you said "or nothing at all" all I think about was Ned Flanders 😆
missed visual joke opportunity!! gah!
@@Jorphdan lol
I can hear a chield in the background.
I was wondering if there were more demon lords.
There's always more.
There's infinite levels of the abyss, with infinite demonlords
If you really dig through the lore there's about 130 named demon lords..of course most of those don't have stat blocks
Whenever I hear the name I laugh thinking of the exorcist 2
"HAIL SCIENCE!!!"
Good news, everyone!
What domain would Pazuzu have for clerics?
Ironically (for an Evil power), Life or Nature. Pazuzu is a lord of fecundity (albeit warped)
Pazuzu worship sounds like a pyramid scheme
Dude kinda looks like Garuda.
Kinda reminds me of Tzeentch
Great video
Thanks!
When trying to determine the CR of my player character gone evil red dragon lvl 20 wizard plus artifact creator. I wrongly thought i could take Pazuzu in the sky.
Ye pazuzu is a beast
Wait I thought Primus gifted Asmodeus the Ruby Rod after the heavens put Asmodeus on trial
Sounds like I need to make a video detailing the many lies of Asmodeus :)
I would not say that he is the worst demon. He is protecting mothers and newborns and he protects people from other demons. Lamaštu and other demons are much worse in my opinion. Of course Pazuzu has his bad sides too. Just like us humans.
I think you are confusing Pazuzu with Obox-Ob, no? He was the one who created the Shard of Pure Evil and corrupted Tharizdun.
Also, I tend to assume that most Demon Lords are Lesser Deities, Demigods or Quasi-Deities at least.
Oh I remember reading that now that you said it. But it does specifically say Pazuzu was the culprit with Tharizdun and the Shard in the 4e Demonomicon.
@@Jorphdan Sounds like a retcon. Poor Obox-Ob- erased from canon
@@jonathancampbell5231 I'm pretty sure I read Obox Ob stole the shard, meaning it was created not by him. Time for some digging

4e lore should be abolished.
Except that origin of Asmodeus is a lie.
Except that they were all of them deceived.. for another origin was made...
In the Land of Baator, in the fires of Avernus, the Dark Lord Asmodeus forged in secret a master origin.
