Homebrew Demogorgon (dndbd) Species Details

Demogorgons have mysterious origins, one of the only pieces of knowledge collected about these creatures is their home, the upside-down. The upside down is on a plane out of reach of any gods of this world, despite it being closely tied to our reality, being almost parallel with the exception of its darkness and constant freezing temperatures. The only way in or out of the upside-down is through the permission of the mind-flayer, who also controls the hive mind of Demogorgons.

after being left in our plane long enough they lose touch with the mind-flayer and use the same telepathic line once used to control it to communicate to more civilized species.
