Description
I've decided to start a series of alignment based shrines. The first one is to Lamashtu, representing Chaotic Evil (I suspect the evil alignments will get more than just one of these). This shrine is to Lamashtu, Mother of Monsters. She's a signature villain in Pathfinder's Golarion, but she is a great villain to use in any fantasy rpg. Lamashtu is based on an ancient Mesopotamian demon. The historical mythological Lamashtu was a female demon, monster, malevolent goddess or demigoddess who menaced women during childbirth and, if possible, kidnapped their children while they were breastfeeding. She would gnaw on their bones and suck their blood, as well as being charged with a number of other evil deeds.
In Pathfinder, Lamashtu is an arch daemon who has achieved godhood, and she is known as "The Mother of Monsters". She is the mother and patroness of many misshapen and malformed creatures that crawl, slither, or flap on, above, or below the surface of the world.
In either case, she and her cult make a fantastic nemesis and big bad. I have also released a miniature of Lamashtu, with that ministure being the statue used in this encounter. Check the miniature release for the list of items remixed to create the Lamashtu miniature.
