Numerous chambers and corridors has been carved within the mushrooms it is said not even Zuggtmoy herself knows the full extent of the palace. Zuggtmoy rules from the center of the layer in a palace that consists of two dozens or so gigantic mushrooms, each connected to each other by shelf-fungi, and each four miles tall.
It was with the efforts of Zuggtmoy's lieutenant, Yibiyru, the Rancid Lady of Bitter Bile, that Juiblex didn't conquer all of Shedaklah. As a result of her setbacks in the "T" modules, Juiblex has managed to lay claim to parts of the surface realm. Zuggtmoy claims the surface realm whereas Juiblex is confined to below ground. Also called the Slime Pits, Shedaklah is a duo-layer: its surface is overran by fungi and plant creatures while its underground corollary is infested with oozes and slimes. She shares this layer with Juiblex, the Faceless Lord. Zuggtmoy rules the 222nd layer of the Abyss, officially called Shedaklah, although according to her creator Gary Gygax, it is called Mycorji. Zuggtmoy is served by elemental rukarazylls and vathugu demons, aas well as various fungal creatures. Her most notorious hero-priest was the druid Xhagevoxhab, who once ruled a vast territory in the Underdark over 600 years ago. Zuggtmoy is served by her lieutenant, Yibiyru, the Rancid Lady of Bitter Bile. She has been seen working with the demon lord Haagenti, the Lord of Alchemy, as well. She shares her layer of the Abyss with the demon lord Juiblex. Zuggtmoy is an ally of Iggwilv and Iuz, and has also been romantically linked to the latter. Recent publications, such as Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss and Dragon, have Zuggtmoy retaining this more impressive appearance (see picture at right), whereas her original fungoid form has become an aspect. Instead of the almost comical puffball-mushroom look of T1-4, she was given a more fearsome appearance: resembling a blue-skinned demonic female with long sharp claws and whose lower body consists of strands of fungoid matter. When the Temple of Elemental Evil computer game was released in 2003, Zuggtmoy was given an updated image makeover. Canonically, Zuggtmoy can also appear as a feeble old crone or a ravishingly beautiful human female. She could extrude pseudopods from her bloated body and squash opponents. A toadstool shaped head with squashed and vague humanoid-like features resided atop her body. It wasn't until the release of the supermodule T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil that players got a good look at Zuggtmoy.Īs Lady of Fungi, Zuggtmoy as originally presented resembled a huge puffball fungus on top of four elephantine legs.

She was mentioned in passing in the 1st edition Monster Manual 2. The demoness Zuggtmoy has always been mentioned in first edition Dungeons and Dragons World of Greyhawk supplements as an ally and perhaps consort/lover to the vile demigod Iuz.
