Baphomet

Demon Lords

Prince of Beasts

Civilization is weakness and savagery is strength⁠ in the credo of Baphomet, the Horned King and the Prince of Beasts. He rules over minotaurs and others with savage hearts. He is worshiped by those who want to break the confines of civility and unleash their bestial natures, for Baphomet envisions a world without restraint, where creatures live out their most savage desires.
Cults devoted to Baphomet use mazes and complex knots as their emblems, creating secret places to indulge themselves, including labyrinths of the sort their master favors. Bloodstained crowns and weapons⁠ of iron and brass decorate their profane altars.
Over time, Baphomet's Cultists become tainted by his influence, gaining bloodshot eyes and coarse, thickening hair. Small horns eventually sprout from the forehead. In time, a devoted cultist⁠ might transform entirely into a minotaur—considered the greatest gift of the Prince of Beasts.

Physical Description

Body Features

Baphomet appears as a great, black-furred Minotaur, 20 feet tall with six iron horns. An Infernal light burns in his red eyes. Although he is filled with bestial blood lust, there lies within him a cruel and cunning intellect devoted to subverting all of civilization.

Apparel & Accessories

Baphomet wields a great Glaive called Heartcleaver. He sometimes casts this deadly weapon aside so that he can charge his enemies and gore them with his horns, trampling them into the earth and rending them with his teeth like a beast.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Baphomet's lair is his palace, the Lyktion, which is on the layer of the Abyss called the Endless Maze⁠. Nestled within the twisting passages of the plane-wide labyrinth, the Lyktion is immaculately maintained and surrounded by a moat constructed in the fashion of a three-dimensional maze. The palace is a towering structure whose interior is as labyrinthine as the plane on which it resides, populated by minotaurs, goristros, and quasits.
