Fraz-Urb'luu slauds just over 18 feet tall, despite his hunched posture. His muscular body is covered with short, coarse pale-blue fur. Two black, leathery wings protrude from his back, and his coiling fail ends in a cruel razor-sharp point. His face is framed by large, ragged ears, and while his eyes are relatively small, his mouth is overly large and filled with fangs.

Deceptive Fraz-Urb'luu is the patron demon lord of illusionists and tricksters, a wrathful prince who only recently escaped imprisonment on the Material Plane. His cultists specialize in deceiving others into worshiping the demon lord and (ultimately) into sacrificing themselves to him.

The most significant event in Fraz-Urb'luu's recent past was his imprisonmenr on the Material Plane below Castle Greyhawk by the mad archmage Zagig, Fraz-Urb'luu remained imprisoned in those infamous dungeons, trapped in a bas-relief carving on a wall, tor over two hundred years before he was accidentally released by a pair of adventurers whom Fraz-Urb'luu promptly repaid by destroying their gear and stranding them in his Abyssal realm.

Since his escape, Fraz-Urb'luu has spent the pasr 25 years rebuilding his Abyssal realm of Hollow's Heart and searching for his staff, a potent artifact rhai was stolen at the time of his imprisonment. Fueling these goals is rage—rage focused primarily on all of humanity. Fraz-Urb'luu hopes that when he has fully re-established his power over Hollow's Heart and has reclaimed his staff, he'll be able to bring this rage to bear on his enemies.

Fraz-Urb'luu counts no other demon lord as an ally, because his ability to deceive them and trick them makes him a particularly hated demon lord. Rumors hold that this hatred might have encouraged some of the other demon princes to aid in Fraz-Urb'luu's imprisonment. For now, his enemies keep a watchful eye on Hollow's Heart but dare not move against him. He might be alone, but Fraz-Urb'luu remains one of the more powerful of the Abyssal lords nevertheless.

Fraz-Urb'luu prefers minions that play to his strengths of deception, seduction, and treachery. Succubi are one of his favorire tools, as are the sinister lilitu. He also commands a large number of rakshasas known as the Hollow Rajahs. His cults are known as the Cults of Deception, typically consisting of a dozen of so members. Posing as benign sects of obscure deities, these cultists seduce and trick people into joining their ranks and offering their unknown worship to Fraz-Urb'luu. These poor folk are doomed the moment they join a cult, for eventually they are sacrificed or goaded into sacrificing themselves.
