Spawn of Rovagug?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


Gods and Magic mentioned that the Tarrasque was the most powerful of the Spawn of Rovagug, implying that weaker ones exist. Has Paizo ever released a product describing any of them? I'm working on a campaign that may or may not involve the god eventually, and I was looking for something less robust than CR 25.

Here is one. That is an unofficial conversion from 3.5. It's from Pathfinder AP volume 24.

Shadow Lodge

Ulunat, the giant scarab beetle carcass in the capital of Osirion, is another Spawn of Rovagug, but I don't think it has ever been fully statted out.

Dark Archive

Some were named in the Campaign Setting, but not statted up. If you've got them then check out the 3.5 "Elder Evils" and "Champions of Ruin" for some inspiration.

The Exchange

I have no information on other Spawn of Rovagug, but as a long-time fan of PC terror, if I'd been writing the article I'd have indicated that the tarrasque was the least powerful Spawn. Just to watch people sweat.

Xotani and Ulunat both sound pretty cool; I can pretty much ignore the fact that they're dead since I don't set my campaign in Golarion. Problem being of course, they both sound like they're above CR 20.

Which shouldn't surprise me I guess. Kind of stupid of me to think that even the weakest child of an insane, angry god of destruction wouldn't be ridiculously powerful. Makes for a good end game though I guess.

I suppose I could just stat out something nasty and slap the signature Regeneration ability on it.

Pathfinder #24, "The Final Wish," has a several-pages-long article about the Spawn of Rovagug. No stats though; just story and history and flavor and pictures.

The wiki has a partial article linking to individual articles for each spawn


Wow, thanks for the replies guys. I might buy The Final Wish just for that reason, the articles sound like they could be pretty interesting.

Their CR of 20+ basically makes them endgame if the goal is a direct kill them confrontation of the beasts. But it could be that they are just going about their rampaging and the players have to survive/deal with the aftermath/hinder it in getting to a city/finding a way to defeat it rather then actually face to face battle. Giant monsters in movies like godzilla are rarely directly confronted so why should they have to in games.

I highly recommend this issue of PF. Not only is that article on the Spawn well-done, it's got some cool art. In addition, the Bestiary covers CR 14-22. Xotani the Firebleeder is CR 20, fyi, and is the last entry; and one of my all-time favorite Paizo art pieces is Ahriman, Lord of the Divs (CR 22), also statted up.
