Hhagaduu appears as a titanic, animalistic humanoid creature with many antler-like branches extending from many parts of his body, and a head of carved wood. Hhagaduu's feet are three-toed, and have long claws on them; his legs are strongly muscled and covered in scales, and his thighs and hips have many thorns and branches extending from their sides, along with a pair of uncurled goat-like horns. He is naked, and is obviously male, and has a thick coat of fur around his crotch and lower torso, which leads into a line of strange boney structures that cover his upper body, which bears immense muscles and many branches extending from it; his back is, as expected, muscled and branched. His head is entirely composed of wood, carved with sigils and magical symbols, and has many horns and branches; his head has a thick mane of hair as well. His tail is smooth and reptilian.

*ANIMALSTIC, CACOPHANIC ROAR*

Hhagaduu is the Abyssian Lord and God of Nature, Strife, the Hunt, Animals, Monsters, and Environments; his power is the antithesis of that of the Abyssian Lord Shuliak, who is the god of the sciences and of many of the worst and most horrific parts of civilization. Hhagaduu is known for his, ahem, love of mortal women, and that he is quite literally the Father of Monsters. As the patron of the hunt, Hhagaduu is immensely strong, fast, and is full guile, and is able to control and manipulate all the aspects of the forest and the natural world. Hhagaduu is patron of all forms of therianthrope that take the form of wolves and cats - though has made no therianthropes - and is the creator of the Ngolinga strain-clan of vampires, which appear much like the half-animal forms of therianthropes. Despite what is commonly thought, Hhagaduu can in fact speak, and is in fact very intelligent.

History

Hhagaduu was there when the first therianthropes were born, and spawned many werebeasts on the surface of Narazen himself; particularly the Kraaa'l werelions, who worship Hhagaduu as the god of Graennarune and the fields and savannahs of the continent. The Ngolinga were spawned twelve-thousand years ago in the mythic age, and worship Hhagaduu as well. Since the mythic age, each year Hhagaduu has engaged in the Wild Hunt, a day-long planet-wide hunt; all the followers and creations of Hhagaduu engage in this hunt, hunting each other until the strongest, most efficient hunter remains - who becomes the Hare, the prey of Hhagaduu himself. At times, female worshippers of Hhagaduu give themselves to Hhagaduu, being impregnated with the monstrous, half-animal children; upon the birth of these children, Hhagaduu will personally bring slain prey to the mother; and finally upon the child's independence and adulthood, Hhagaduu will shave off a small sliver of his ever-regrowing antlers, creating one of the Kummu - horns, in the secret cult language of Hhagaduu's worshippers.

Hhagaduu's feet are three-toed, and have long claws on them; his legs are strongly muscled and covered in scales, and his thighs and hips have many thorns and branches extending from their sides, along with a pair of uncurled goat-like horns.

His tail is smooth and reptilian.

Cults and Worship

Hhagaduu's cults are usually small, and very violent. They are led by the strong, and commonly change leadership quickly. His most common worshippers are hunters, animal farmers, foresters, and gladiators, who revere him through offerings of blood and violence; they commonly clothe themselves in animal hides, or not at all. His cults are located primarily in Graennarune, as are his creations the Kraaa'l and Ngolinga.

The Realm of Hhagaduu

Hhagaduu's realm is an endless expanse of thousands of varieties of environments, ranging from swamps to savannahs, forests to deserts, mountains and valleys; utterly beautiful, this realm hides its secrets well - it is a realm of endless violence, the rivers every thirty days running with blood; and the animals are all at the very least detritivores. Dead animal flesh is devoured greedily, even by the trees, which can uproot and crawl along the ground to devour the dead; the deer have their eyes set on the front of their head and use their horns to gore their prey - every single thing in this realm is a predator, waiting for you to look away or sleep. Hhagaduu has no palace or dwelling, as the entire realm is his home.
