Description
This ettin is thoroughly deranged, with Thessalar cruelly humoring the creature’s condition in his “honored” treatment.
At one time, he was told that he was a statue of Demogorgon brought to life by Thessalar’s experiments. He has since come to believe that he is now the actual Demogorgon, with his two heads addressing one another as Aameul and Hathradiah—mispronounced as Emmanuel and Hebediah, respectively. A successful DC 14 Intelligence (History) check allows a character to recall the real names of Demogorgon’s heads.
Much like the true Demogorgon, the ettin’s two heads constantly clash and refuse to speak directly with one another, instead relaying messages through their assigned stewards.
If the ettin is defeated, examining the pouches around his necks reveals a collection of eyeballs and still-beating dragon hearts. The silver wires connect those living tissues to the ettin’s own hearts, providing the creature’s unique features. This setup is made permanently inoperable if the ettin is slain.
