Ilsidahur is a demon lord. Called the Howling King, claims rulership over the simian demons known as bar-lguras, and is served by nalfeshnees as well.
Description
Ilsidahur appears as a twelve foot tall ape with a long prehensile tail and bronze ram-like horns. He particularly prizes objects made of bronze.
Relationships
Ilsidahur is an ally of Demogorgon; he guards the landward access to Demogorgon's layer, Gaping Maw. The two once conspired to slay the eladrin paragon Gwynharwyf, but she was rescued by her consort Morwel while the two demons were squabbling over how best to torture her to death.
Publishing history
Ilsidahur made his debut in Dungeon #10, in the adventure "The Shrine of Ilsidahur" (March/April 1988). The adventure took place in an abandoned temple located in the Amedio Jungle. Nothing more was mentioned of Ilsidahur until the publication of Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss in 2006, with two brief lore references.
Realm
Ilsidahur rules the 90th layer of the Abyss called the Guttering Grove.[1] which can be reached (in addition to other means) by climbing up the jagged cliffs in the Screaming Jungle in Gaping Maw, the realm of Demogorgon.[2] It is assumed the Guttering Grove is a jungle realm filled with bar-lguras, nalfeshnees and other simian monsters.[citation needed]
