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.

Ygorl in other media
Ygorl appeared as the final boss in the video game Demon Stone where he was voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan. In the game, he was depicted as humanoid in appearance but was covered in tough chitinous armor and had many claw-like mandibles extending from the back of his head.
