The psurlon demagogue is an advanced psurlon leader that has grown bulkier from a healthy diet fed to it by its many servants. They are surprisingly deadly in melee combat because of their greater bulk and strength but they really shine in using their advanced psionics. These Psurlons generally rule over whole tribes or villages and disguise themselves as a sage or elder offering sage advice or wisdom when outsiders appear, but when those outsiders leave they turn back to their tyrannical method of hoarding resources and demanding slave labor from the populace they rule over. They scour the land with their scouts to find the legendary "eye of psurlon." Psurlon demagogues grow to immense size, but they are also obese from devouring a constant supply of food its followers feed it and the occasional victim to devour to instill fear in the population. Their claws and razor sharp mouth's grow more powerful and robust, their voices more potent and capable of hitting multiple octaves when singing, the two headed's frequently singing in harmony, one in a deep baritone and the other in a high falsetto. Their singing would be considered possibly beautiful if it wasn't for the horrific tyranny of sitting through their performances for several hours. When using illusions they generally take the appearance of an elderly sage sitting on top of a mighty throne, but the illusion will fade when it appears that one head is simply coiled on the top of the body while the other head sleeps below.
