Demonomicon: Ebon Maw (Turaglas)


Dragon Magazine General Discussion

I fell in love with the Ebon Maw way back when he first appeared in Dragon #312, in fact the article about him in that magazine is in alot of ways a Demonomicon Article in itself. The one thing the article is missing is a Thrall to Turaglas prestige class; which is ashame because the reason why I am posting this stems from a character concept I had for the Savage Tides. Old Orcus and Demogorgon and their cultist imprisoned the poor Ebon Maw, and I thought it make perfect sense for a crazed cultist of the Ebon Maw to want to spoil a scheme of Demogorgon. So what do you say guys can we get a Demonomicon about him, or at least a Demonomicon addendum with the Thrall to Ebon Maw prestige class, maybe you could put it in class acts?


I loved the fact that his Space/Reach was finally decent for a Colossal creature. Tired of seeing something Colossal and it's Space/Reach really doesn't depict that. You want Colossal, show me creature froms that game "Shadow of the Colossus" or that huge frog that Naruto summons in the japanese anime Naruto Series, or things like Godzilla's size.

I personally don't think Huge, Gargantuan, and Colossal are variable enough with their space/reach. In fact, I think they should be larger. I like to see a Colossal be 100 ft./30 ft. Space/Reach for once or something along those lines.

Of course, that limits them when it comes to dungeon delving...I say just make the dungeon larger or use the Underdark, and the wilderness is just as ripe for D&D as the dungeons themselves.

As you mention, the Ebon Maw article is already practically a Demonomicon in and of itself, which is all the reason I need to not want to write a Turaglas Demonomicon. He's already got one! Better instead to focus on the many demons that haven't had this level of detail written about them.

Very true, he does have a great article about him. I was wondering if there is any chance we could see a "lost thralls" article? Perhaps covering the Thralls of Yeenoghu, Ebon Maw, and Rhyxali who was in the Book of Vile Darkness web enhancement.

I ain't never seen Naruto summon no frog.

Get a little further along in the series. He learns the technique from a certified "pervert hermit". At first Naruto sucks at it, every time he tries, he gets tadpoles. But a few times he pulls it off "natural 20 style" and gets a frog that carries a proportionate tanto thats almost 40 feet long. Thats one big dagger! Thats one big frog! He is Gamabunta!

Totally off topic, but it must be said. Adult Swin Rules!
