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.
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.
