Never fool with mother nature. Nice slogan for a neutral goddess. Kinda sounds a little on the chaotic or perhaps evilish side. Another case of organized religion twisting words and beliefs and using mind control techniques to fit their own personal agendas. And Jaroo is one of the head subversives. This doesn't bode well for the gaming community, game companies putting in this kind of stuff into their games. The Cult of Troika is no more though. I think they drank a batch of electric kool-aid when they got busted.
Zuggtmoy's alignment it's Chaotic Evil, and his favored weapon is Scythe. Althought his Domains - accord with Dragon Magazine #337 - are Chaos, Evil and Plant, in the game, his followers (Zert and Rainol), if acquires levels of Cleric, have acess to the domains of Air, Earth, Plant and Water.
I thought Zuggtmoy is a she. She is described as a demon Queen of Fungi and is the consort of Iuz. She is the ruler of the 222nd plane of the Abyss. Her power level is Demon Lord.
Actually she was. However the modders gave her a sex change operation. It was her request, not theirs.
The reason why her followers have access to Air, Earth, Fire, and Water is because of the Tharizdun connection. Actually, I also remember reading stuff stating that Demon Lords are not gods and therefore cannot grant spells - under normal circumstances I suppose.
Shall ya explain what is that Tharizdun connection, please? Really, Demon Lords are not lords, but some of formed minor gods (like Lolth) are used do be Demon Lords. The true about the Demon Lords is that they usually have not an exactly "attractive" portfolio to gather followers. Zuggtmoy have planed and worked with the Temple of Elemental Evil exactly to become able of atract more followers. Actually, the cult to Zuggtmoy are made for just small familiar groups in very remote areas of the surface - most of the underground followers of fungal gods are bonded to Jubilex. And, aye, Zuggtmoy its a female Demon Lord. I have choosed the wrong words when writing my other post. I sometimes forgot about gender diferences when writing in english. My bad.
