Maggot Demon is a hideous and tortured being. A walking biological weapon, the source of his power is also his curse. Maggot Demon carries within him a ravenous hive that perpetuates a constant cycle of birth, hunger, disease, and death. His pole scythe contains a hypnotic beacon that lures mortals to him. The unclean miasma-generated by the hive-weakens Maggot Demon's foes and leaves them easy pickings for him and his parasitic companions. As they feed, the hive becomes a blur of activity, vastly increasing his power even as they devour and tunnel through his body.
The constant pain and suffering has turned Maggot Demon into a dangerous foe. His apparently crippled form masks his extremely tough and resilient nature. The hunger of the hive drives him ever onward and imbues him with surprising strength.
