Quath-Nomag, the Skull King

[Erevis Cale]

Since my players enjoy visual handouts of the npcs and monsters they meet along the way (I always find a suitable pic, whether it's provided in adventure or no) and Quath-Nomag being an important figure in Orcus's story (he resurrected him) I kinda felt that his role was really a miserable one and decided that he'll accompany the PCs on attack on Aredagrost/Tetradarian, just to show his awesomeness.

But the problem is... I have no idea how he looks like. It says that he's an imposing man and [ogre-blooded], but I have no idea where that subtype? is from or how he looks like. Any help on this?

Hi,

Correct name: Quah Nomag and it's a half ogre, if I remember he is described in the Book of vile darkness and/or Hordes of the Abyss (not sure for each but I saw him somewhere).

Quah-Nomag is statted out in BoVD p.138-139 in the section about Orcus. He's described not as a half-ogre but as a unique human (ogre-blooded) cleric 14/Thrall of Orcus 3. CR 17. He's pretty nasty but nothing compared to what your PCs should be like at this point in the AP.

There was a picture in the Dead Gods adventure (where he was first introduced). Note that his name in that product was Quah-Namog not Quah-Nomag.

Ah.... *that's* why I couldn't find him when I searched my own electronic copy... they spelled it differently.

The picture (Dead Gods p.122) doesn't show him with his flail or armor, but he looks kinda like a half-orc or maybe Kurgan, but with large lower incisors and big, black, bushy eyebrows and sideburns. This, this or many of the WoW minis could work as a miniature.
