Orobas (DTF)

Orobas is a powerful demon. A warped, primal force of gluttony and physical lust, Orobas manifests as a grotesque, toad-like figure, at once slightly comical and deeply, viscerally repellent.

Biography
Summoned millennia ago and bound into a statue of wet, slimy sandstone, Orobas has spent much of the last 500 years dreaming in stasis, his cult destroyed, his worship forgotten. It was only 30 years ago that a tooinquisitive Waldensian scholar, after reading ancient church documents about an abhorrent sect, discovered the demon’s reliquary buried in a German bog; his descent into madness was the trickle of warped faith the demon needed to return to unnatural life once more. Now Orobas looks upon a world vastly changed from the one he recalls, but he cares not for such petty details. All that matters is his desire to feed.

Orobas is a demon of gluttony, and not a complex or subtle one. Obsessed with the pleasures (and horrors) of the flesh, he burns with insatiable and inhuman lusts. His infernal powers pertain mainly to the gross physical aspects of nature, and the appetites of humans and beasts. He is the Master of Toads, and can conjure up swarms of toads, rats, flies and other vermin. He also controls poisons, pollution and bodily waste, and can awaken uncontrollable hungers and lusts in mortals. His presence drives away most non-verminous animals, but leaves others deformed and aggressive.
