Despite this widespread animosity, she focuses her attentions on growing her cults and expanding their reach, as well as the birthing of new and hideous monstrosities. Lamashtu, in a stance befitting her demonic origins, considers all other gods her enemies. 8 She is often depicted surrounded by countless adherents, with a single individual rising above the rest. Her head may vary depending on the nature of her worshipers: gnolls preferring the jackal head, medusas a snake's, harpies a hawk's, and so on. The blades may grow and shrink from the size of a falchion to that of a kukri. She is often depicted carrying her two deadly blades, Redlust and Chillheart: the former is of fire, the latter of ice. Pictures of Lamashtu portray her as a jackal-headed woman, with a third vertical eye in the center of her forehead, heavily pregnant, with feathered wings (like a raven's), a snake's tail, and taloned feet like a vulture's). Lamashtu's realm is Kurnugia, the largest layer of the Abyss. It is claimed by many monstrous humanoid races that she was their first progenitor and creator.
6 Once she coupled that knowledge with the use of her own body to gestate the demons, she birthed the vavakia, a true masterpiece of the art of creating demons. From torturing Roshmolem, Lamashtu learned the "art" of creating demons. When she learnt that demons were the result of experimentation by a Horseman of the Apocalypse, Lamashtu invaded Abaddon and killed the Horsemen Drulaema and Roshmolem. Lamashtu's vendetta against him is only equaled by Desna's own vendetta against her. He wounded her terribly, but her new-found divinity allowed her to survive they have been dire enemies ever since. Pazuzu was enraged by this shift in power, and as Lamashtu returned from that battle he betrayed and attacked her. This imbued the demoness with a small amount of his divine power. By defeating him, she ripped his godly domain over beasts from him, beginning an ancient vendetta with Curchanus' protégée, Desna. What is known for certain is that she lured the god Curchanus into her territory and beset him with swarms of demons and other monsters until he was weak enough for her to attack. In ages past, she was the lover of Pazuzu. Lamashtu was once a mighty demon lord who became the first such entity to achieve true godhood.
