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. It is assumed his layer of the Guttering Grove is a jungle realm filled with bar-lguras, nalfeshnees and other simian monsters.

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. Despite having his statistics published, nothing more was mentioned of Ilsidahur until the publication of Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss in 2006. Ilsidahur has yet to have updated statistics.

Realm

Ilsidahur rules the 90th layer of the Abyss called the Guttering Grove.
