Design details

Mastiphal the Hunting Sovereign is a demon lord, in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game.

Publication history

Mastiphal was one of many demon lords that was mentioned only by name in a list in the original Monster Manual II (1983).[1]

Mastiphal received further details in third edition in Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss (2006).[2]

Description

Mastiphal is a handsome demon with bright red skin, four arms, and a rack of ibex horns upon his angular forehead.[2]

Relationships

Mastiphal is the current Favored Consort of Malcanthet, and gained her favor by presenting her with the head of a huge fiendish smilodon slain on the hunting fields of Spirac. His audiences with Malcanthet have been less and less frequent, and he is willing to do anything to regain her attention.[2]

Realm

Mastiphal occupies the iron fortress Vanelon, on the layer of Pazunia. Vanelon guards the pit leading to Malcanthet's layer of Shendilavri, and is used as the home of whatever minor demon lord fills the ever-changing position of her Favored Consort.[2]
