Responsibility (Multiple Personalities)- Demogorgon relentlessly shifts between the mind of a schemer, and the mind of a chaotic, mad being. He is unpredictable, vicious and can rarely effect a plan for long.

-Among the most terrifying beings in existence is Demogorgon, the Arch-Fiend who rules one of the layers of The Abyss. Resembling a bipedal, two-headed baboon with tentacles for arms, his is a vision of sheer madness. As a God of sorts, he represents Chaos, Evil and Bloodshed. Demogorgon was once two beings- the left head was the Balor known as Aaameul, who incited a rebellion against the Queen of Chaos and slew her. The right head was Hethrediah, who was created from the Queen's corpse, absorbing Aameul and fusing the two together in a chaotic, unfocused engine of destruction. Other Archfiends live in great fear of Demogorgon's focus- praying that he cannot pay attention to anything for long.
Jab's Notes: Demogorgon is probably the most distinctive and iconic of D&D's Greater Demons/Archfiends, many of whom have some pretty inventive backstories. I'd argue that they're really D&D's best "Original Characters". But really, a two-headed, tentacled Baboon God? That's pretty sweet. At PL 15, he is something most parties, which top out at PL 12, could never face- only Elder Dragons, Linnorms and the like would stand much of a chance without tremendous numbers on their sides.
