Legend

Zuggtmoy is the Demon Queen of Fungi, A demon lord with dangerous interest in the Material Plane. Her worshipers envision a world consumed by the fungus host and are behind far more of the world’s ills than one might guess. She nominally rules the 222nd layer of the Abyss Shedaklah, but her rulership is challenged by Juiblex, the Faceless Lord, with Zuggtmoy traditionally holding control over its surface and Juiblex being forced to lurk inthe deepest caverns below.

Manifestation

A thick purple column of mist rises from the seal Zuggtmoy and then condenses and materializes as a foul demoness resembling a human only from the torso up. This portion of her body is composed of thick rancid sheets and coils of fungus that just happens to have grown into the shape of what would otherwise be an attractive woman. Four fibrous antlers grow from her brow, and her hands bear cruel talons. Her lower torso is a coiling pillar of lashing ropy tentacles and other fungus growths. Her skinis a nauseating swirl of grays, blues, purples, and blacks.
