About

This creature is a tall, bloated, insect-like creature with five arms and three legs. Each of its arms ends in a sharpened, clawed hand. Its legs end in four-toed feet. Its flesh is mottled green and black and its eyes are large and black with no pupils.

The derghodemon is one of the strongest of the demon races, but its low intelligence has relegated it to a position of brute warrior and little more.

A derghodemon stands 8 feet tall and weighs about 800 pounds.
