POWERS & ABILITIES
(*=Linked)(^=Mystic)
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Shuma-gorath is an alien intelligence that is unimaginably vast and powerful, monstrously evil, and malign. When encountered, it may be attacking a particular dimension to destroy all the citizens therein, or it might be attempting to bring the population of a planet under its rule. Shuma-gorath does not make intricate plans. It attacks with its great power and trusts its ability to bully through to reach its goals. It relishes the use of its powers.

Exusiai's Notes: So this is another Lord of Chaos, or perhaps a demon like Trigon, would be interesting to see how someone worked this being into their campaign. Perhaps start with Shuma-gorath possessing someone the players know, and then BAM, 34' tall Demon Lord of Chaos, if they are unable to stop it.
