D20	This demon lord’s true form

2	immolates the eyes of those who see it.
3	is a serpentine shadow that darkens cities with its passing.
4	is an inchoate, discorporate spirit that must possess a vessel to act on the world, yet gradually warps its vessel to the point of uselessness.

7	is a black sun gouting filth and rays of agony into the world.

9	is a swarm of eels writhing within a beautiful, empty skin.
10	is a gargantuan, eyeless vulture plucked clean of feathers. Similarly eyeless, toothless faces moan nestled in its wrinkles.
11	is dozens of elongated arms and hands dripping gore, reaching out from the hood and sleeves of a tattered cloak.
12	is a bottomless pit from which distant bellows boom.
13	is an angelic figure clad in golden, bejewelled armour. Buboes and boils bulge from the armour’s joints.
14	resembles a pile of human bodies that vivisect and rearrange themselves into new, offensive forms with every movement.
15	is a grotesquely fat bull with cracked horns and a bloody muzzle. Its voice sounds like crying infants.
16	is a porcelain giant that’s been shattered to pieces. The pieces are connected and dragged about by a mass of worms.
17	is a titan of dung compelled to forever consume and defecate itself.
18	is a labyrinth constructed of living scorpions and wasps and all other stinging creatures.
19	is a withered tree sprouting toxic fruits. Its boughs that would reach upwards have been snapped, and instead dangle.
20	is a stagnant, stinking ocean that stretches beyond the horizon. Rotting hulks churn its waters.
