So, I basically created Endgame before it came out.
I dm several campaigns in the same universe, and they’re all leading up to a giant lvl 20 boss battle against Tharizdun.
the one problem is Tharizdun. How he works on my world is that he’s a combination of three creatures, who have been fought separately by now. Crusher of bodies, using Pit Fiend stats. Swallower of souls, using nightwalker stats. Breaker of minds, using ????? Stats. I’m combining things from all of them and adding some more stuff to make the big boy himself.
So, what do I need you all for?
I need advice on stats for Breaker of minds. I’ll probably end up using a buffed elder brain.
second, does anyone have any ideas for Tharizdun? I want him to have the raw physical killing power of a pit fiend, the psychic weirdness of a mind flayer/elder brain, and the aura and life draining powers of the nightwalker.
Honestly if you just re-skin Demogorgon you're 90% of the way to what you described. Works as is for your idea of Tharizdun with solid damage on tentacle and tail damage, manipulative spells like fear, telekinesis, and feeblemind, and some wicked mind-bending gaze effects. You might need to buff him a bit for a fight with several level 20 characters or add some minions to the fight, but he's a great template for a damage dealing, brain melting demon.
Or you could nerf it a little bit for your Breaker of Minds, either way I think Demogorgon is a great jumping off point for what you're looking for.

Did they not brought any snacks or what :)
No. I’m just wanting a big insane culmination.

Sounds great! One problem: one of the parti s already killed him. But I’ll use demogorgon as a template.
