Ugudenk

Ugudenk, called the Squirming King, is an obyrith demon lord that burrows through the Abyss.

Description

Ugudenk had the form of an impossibly large worm-like creature; in fact, no one could claim to have seen the end of its body. Its jaw was a complex structure of multiple jaws and hooked tentacles made of muscle, the whole of which opened like some horrifying carnivorous flower when it hungered.

Divine Realm

Ugudenk \"rules\" over the 177th layer of the Abyss, a burrow-riddled underground land called the Writhing Realm. It is not uncommon for travelers there to encounter Ugudenk's body blocking caverns and tunnels there.

Activities

Ugudenk has no apparent goals or plans, spending most of its time contentedly burrowing through the Writhing Realm. It does have an odd attraction to the neighboring layer of Hollow's Heart, though most consider that to be because a permanent portal exists between the two layers; the Spiral of Ugudenk on the other end is notable for being one of the few immutable parts of that realm. Hollow's Heart's ruling demon lord Fraz-Urb'luu's consistent and consistently failed attempts to remove Ugudenk from his realm leads to other demon lords joking about his \"infestation problem\".

At other times, Ugudenk bursts into other layers of the Abyss and, more rarely, the Material plane, where it devours things as varied as castles, lakes, artifacts, and titans. Most see no pattern or schedule to these anomalies, but stories are told of scholars who, after studying the nature of its seemingly random feasts, go insane and take their own lives- almost always by allowing immense monsters to devour them.

Worshippers

Ugudenk had no organized cult, just a few isolated maniacs who sought to draw the Squirming King's attention to people or places that they felt had wronged them.

Likewise, Ugudenk had no true servitors, though wormlike monsters and invertebrate-like obyriths were common in regions it appeared in, and the sudden appearances of such creatures always presaged its arrival, but such followers seemed more to be opportunistic scavengers following the demon lord to eat leftover scraps.
