Fiendish Origins: Tanar’ling (Graz’zt) (Patreon)

From Azzagrat, the 45th, 46th, and 47th layers of the abyss. The demon lord Graz’zt created his tanar’lings from the coupling with witches that desired power. Tanar’ling made by him inherit his two most prominent features, his shapechanging ability and his demonic charm.

Tanar’lings are treated violence, insults, mistrust, and fear. Tanar’lings know that this because they creations from a demon lord that infused them with its essence. Most demon lords see tanar’lings as failed creations and usually exile them to the Material Plane. Graz’zt does not see his tanar’lings as failures, in fact he uses must of them to carry out his will on the Material Plane. From assassinations, spying, to create ritualistic orgies most of his tanar’lings carry out his dark plans. Their nature and appearance bare mark of this abyssal infusion that will inherited by their children and their children’s children.
