Demon Lord, Kostchtchie (3pp; Demon Prince of Wrath)

This hulking creature stands to be at least 9 or 10 feet tall with yellowish skin. His head and body seem to be completely hairless save for his thick, bushy eyebrows. Two massive stump-like legs support his thick, misshapen torso and great, gnarled arms extend from his shoulders. His head is flat and oval and sports two, large sunken crystal-blue eyes.

Unique Item: Gorynya

Kostchtchie’s unique weapon is a Huge +4 cold iron thundering icy burst warhammer, which he wields two-handed. When used by Kostchtchie, on a successful hit the target must make a DC 39 Fortitude save or be stunned for 2d4 rounds. Kostchtchie does not suffer any penalty while wielding the oversized weapon. The save DC is Strength-based.

Servants of Kostchtchie

Followers of Kostchtchie are usually frost giants and fiendish frost giants. They are usually fighters or barbarians. Many that receive his special blessing find their bodies warped an twisted, forever after wracked by pain and filled with rage.
Devout followers of Kostchtchie are called Ice Lords and must sign a pact of evil with Kostchtchie. Ice Lords that cast divine spells can receive spells from Kostchtchie and typically have access to two of the following domains: Chaos, Evil, and Destruction.


Environment any (Abyss)
Organization solitary, troupe (Kostchtchie plus two Huge 18-HD winter wolves) or squad (Kostchtchie plus 2-4 frost giants and one Huge ancient 30-HD white dragon that serves as his steed)
Treasure triple standard

Kostchtchie is the demon lord of cold and the prince of wrath; he is the epitome of hatred and evil. If there is a demon lord more ruthless and malevolent than he, that lord has never made his presence known. Kostchtchie is hated by all (including other demon lords and princes). He moves across his Abyssal landscape with a shuffling gait, and is rarely, if ever, encountered alone.

Kostchtchie is revered by some frost giant shamans as a god. Various clans pay tribute to him in the form of humanoid sacrifices (made bimonthly, except in the winter when sacrifices are made monthly) and often invoke his blessing before undertaking a great quest or entering a great battle.

Kostchtchie’s Abyssal home is a frigid and mountainous realm of ice, rock, snow, and subfreezing temperatures. Unprotected travelers and those vulnerable to cold do not last long here.

Kostchtchie stands 9 feet tall and weighs about 800 pounds.
