Monster Manual descriptions[]
2nd Edition[]
Kostchtchie is a powerful demon lord so hateful that he is disliked even by all the rest of his kind, save the minor sorts of demons. He is very strong and gains a bonus to attack damage accordingly. Kostchtchie's favorite weapon is a huge hammer of cold iron (2012 points of damage) with inlays of nickel and silver. An opponent hit by it must save vs. paralysis or be stunned and unable to act for the balance of that round and all of the next as well. A pair of leucrotta of the largest size (AC 3; MV 18"; HD 9; hp 2x49; #AT 1; D 8-18; SD rear kicks [2 for 2-7 hp damage each]) serve as his constant guards and companions. In addition to other abilities, Kostchtchie can at will, 1 at a time, 1 per round, use at the 20th level the following spell-like powers: command, curse, darkness (15-foot radius), dispel good, harm once per day, know alignment, poison twice per day, protection from good (10-foot radius), speak with monsters, teleport, telekinese 5000 gp weight, unholy word once per day, and wind walk twice per day. He can always gate in 1-4 babau demons (35%) or 2-5 bar-lgura (65%). He speaks many languages and can communicate telepathically also.
At times Kostchtchie will be served by frost giants. He is rumored to have a white dragon of largest size and of ancient age. This monster is said to serve as the demon lord's steed.
Kostchtchie resembles a giant with bandy legs. his legs are short and malformed and his movement is relatively slow. His head is a flat oval with slitted eyes and gross features. His torso and arms bulge with muscles. His skin is pale yellow and hairless save for eyebrows.
