'''Ygorl''' is the [[~~Slaad~~]] Lord of Entropy. He is the second oldest slaad lord, after [[Ssendam]], and is considered the de-facto ruler of [[Outer Plane]] of [[Limbo]].

'''Ygorl''' is the [[slaad]] Lord of Entropy. He is the second oldest slaad lord, after [[Ssendam]], and is considered the de-facto ruler of [[Outer Plane]] of [[Limbo]]. He is said to have created the Spawning Stone that is the focus of the slaad race, forcing them to take froglike forms rather than their original, purely chaotic shapes.

==Description==

Ygorl appears as a blackened, bat-winged, skeletal hulk, wielding a large scythe. He rides a great wyrm brass [[dragon]] named [[Shkiv]]. As one of the exemplars of the Chaotic Neutral alignment, Ygorl is not truly evil, but still very dangerous, unpredictable, and self-serving.

Ygorl appears as a blackened, bat-winged, skeletal hulk, wielding a large scythe. He rides a great wyrm brass [[dragon]] named [[Shkiv]]. As one of the exemplars of the Chaotic Neutral alignment, Ygorl is not truly evil, but still very dangerous, unpredictable, and self-serving. He believes in bringing death, decay, and disorganization to the multiverse, and thinks this is best done by the slaadi, the truest agents of Chaos.

==Relationships==

Ygorl considers the slaadi to be his living pawns. They do not serve him in any organized fashion, but most will obey his orders rather than allow him to devour them. Besides Shkiv, Ygorl is allied with [[Sorel]], his lieutenant, who he is grooming to become the Lord of Anarchy.

Ygorl ignores [[Ssendam]] and fears [[Rennbuu]]. He enjoys the company of [[Chourst]], at least at times.

The "entropic reapers" from ''Libris Mortis'' are said to arise in Limbo to "enforce the twisted edicts of chaotic beings that decree the death of lawful creatures." They are not explicitly connected to Ygorl, but they are connected to the force of entropy and the plane of Limbo.

==Realm==

Ygorl's fortress in [[Limbo]] constantly changes appearance; it can be a rough cavern, a shattered marbled temple, or (as the 1st edition ''Manual of the Planes'' describes it) a series of interlaced carved spheres that whirl through Limbo's layers.
