FRAZ-URB

LUU




All demons are liars,
but Fraz-Urb'luu is the P rince of

Deception and Demon Lord of Illusio
ns. He uses every

trick, every ounce of demonic cunning,
to manipulate

his enemies- mortal
and fiend a like- to do his will.

Fraz-Urb'luu
can create dreamlands and mind-bending

fantasies
able to deceive the most discerning foes.

Once imprisoned for centu ri
es below Castle Grey-

hawk on
the world of Oerth, Fraz-Urb'luu has slowly

rebuilt
his power in the Abyss. He seeks the piece
s of

the legendary staff of power
taken from him by those

who imprisoned him, and
commands his servants to

do likewise.

The Prince of Deception's
true form is like that of a

great gargoyle, som
e 12 feet tall, with an extended, mus-

cular neck and a smiling face framed by
long, pointed

ears and lank, dark hair, and bat-like
wings a re furled

against his powerful s houlders. He
can assume othe r

forms, however,
from the hideous to the beautiful. Often

the demon lord becomes
so immersed in playing a ro
le

that he loses
himself in it for a time.

Many of the cultists of Fraz-Urb
'luu aren't even aware

they serve the Prince of Deception
, believing their

master is a beneficent being
and granter of wishes,

some lost
god or celestial, or even anothe r fiend

. Fraz-


Urb
'luu wears all these masks and more. He
particularly

delights in a iding demon-hunters
against his demonic

FRAZ-URB'Luu's
LAIR

Fraz-Urb'luu's la ir lies
within the abyssal realm of Hol-

low's Heart, a featureless
plain of white dust with few

structures on it. Th
e lair itself is the city of Zoragmelok,

a circular fortress surrounded by adama
ntine walls

topped with razors
and hooks. Corkscrew towers loom

above twisted domes and vast amphitheaters,
just a few

examples of the
city's impossible architecture.

The challenge rating of Fraz-Urb'luu
is 24 (62, 000 XP)

when he's encountered
