Description A humanoid giant of charred flesh, glowing orange embers, and rigid white plates, standing between 20' tall (child) and 200' tall (elder), a yoggar-shuaba is a massive demon of unbelievable scale. They have stubby horns, thin whip-like tails, tiny wings (usually bat-like), and massive claws and fangs.
Procreation with each other, with other demons, with other Courts, with abominations, with mortals
Esoterica Yoggar-shuaba are beings of infernum. They do not engage in esoteric arts of any kind save those they have inherently.
Special Powers To look upon the immensity of a yoggar-shuaba is to have one's view of reality challenged. The sight of a mature yoggar-shuaba will cause irreparable mental and emotional damage to a mortal. They are immune to mundane attacks of any kind, and esoteric attacks must be of incredible strength to have an impact. To be devoured by a yoggar-shuaba is to have one's body and soul obliterated. They are supernaturally massive and have strength proportional to their size.
Court Powers In the Second Court, yoggar-shuaba are granted a roar that causes blood to curdle in the vein.
Demonology

To summon a yoggar-shuaba, a demonologist must sacrifice thirteen innocents in a complex ritual, using intricate demonic spells in the most ancient forms of the demonic language, including one of the Forbidden Words. The summoning circle must be fashioned with a pen dipped in demon's blood, burned into solid stone (preferably a stone like granite). The circle will not hold the yoggar-shuaba's physical form, but open a gate to the demon to allow communication. The standard contract with a yoggar-shuaba is for strength, intimidating presence, eternal life, and/or power over the meek. The standard cost is a steady supply of mortals to be eaten. Special contracts are possible but rare, and the cost is always the same.

To bind a yoggar-shuaba, one must have incredible esoteric power, usually imperium. A blackiron chain wrapped around the finger of a yoggar-shuaba (it is unlikely one would have enough blackiron for more) can, if powerful enough, bind one. Enslavement is risky but possible. Drawing power is possible if the chain is properly designed. Binding into an object is very, very difficult, as it requires converting so much mass into infernal energy. To do so, one must chain a yoggar-shuaba with a blackiron chain designed to drain their power, then wrap the chain around the target object (or person). The object or person must then have the strength or will to survive the process. This will give the object or person immense infernal power, but it will likely eventually destroy them.

No one but an infernal Divine can create a yoggar-shuaba.

Sending To send a yoggar-shuaba, one must have heavenly essence of considerable power and wield it directly and relentlessly.
Weaknesses Destroying a yoggar-shuaba requires even more powerful heavenly essence. No other esoteric energies will work.
Behavior Much to the relief of everyone, yoggar-shuaba spend most of their time sleeping. When awake, in the Hells, they rule over large territories where they terrorize everything around them, seeking anything (demons, rocks, mortal souls, living mortals, anything) to eat. They eat for a week or two, then sleep for years.
Culture Yoggar-shuaba are individualistic and isolated demons who live a subsistence existence.
Hierarchy As individuals, there is no hierarchy within their national culture.
Court Culture Within the Second Court, yoggar-shuaba are considered part of the military. Every yoggar-shuaba is a sleeping soldier, awaiting orders to march to war. They answer to more powerful demons (at least, esoterically more powerful).
Other Courts Yoggar-shuaba are rare in other Courts (or in general), but they are much sought after in times of war. They are offered the only thing they desire--mortals to eat--and some defect, especially to the First, Third, Fifth, Eighth, and Twelfth. Those who defect to the Thirteenth Court are often killed before they can, as the Divines fear them.
Mortal Interactions Mortals only know of yoggar-shuaba as fantastical rumors or the ravings of those afflicted with delusional mental illnesses.
