His horns curved downward and outward . He wielded a giant bardiche . Baphomet could spit out gouts of unholy water . Realm . Baphomet ' s realm of the " Endless Maze " was the 600th layer of the Abyss , supposedly infinite in size . Here , Baphomet dwelt in his palace , the Lyktion , and spent his time creating various new demonic breeds in his infamous Tower of Science . Some of his more successful creations were the goristroi , the bulezaus , the ghours , and more recently , the feral ankashars . Worshipers . Baphomet had a multitude of minotaur , ogre , and giant followers and minions . He was also served by ghour demons , a race of demons resembling burly , hairless minotaurs which commanded troops of these mortal minions . He sought to use them to further his schemes , notably to gain the upper hand in his battles against Yeenoghu . A multitude of other twisted creatures revered Baphomet as well , some becoming his thralls , and if they pleased their bestial patron , they would be granted rulership of a portion of the Endless Maze . Those who displeased Baphomet were eaten . Cult of Baphomet . Baphomet was increasingly attracting a following amongst minotaurs . He sought to use them to further his schemes , notably to gain the upper hand in his battles against Yeenoghu . A multitude of other twisted creatures revered Baphomet as well , some becoming his thralls , and if they pleased their bestial patron , they would be granted rulership of a portion of the Endless Maze . Those who displeased Baphomet were eaten , of course . Baphomet granted spells as a lesser deity , and had as his symbol a twisted circular maze awash in blood . Minions and related creatures . Baphomet had a multitude of minotaur , ogre and giant followers and minions . He was also served by ghour demons , a race of demons resembling burly , hairless minotaurs which commanded troops of these mortal minions . Relationships . Baphomet hated Yeenoghu , and the two were bitter enemies . The two warred against each other for as long as they themselves could remember , and both forgot the origin of their feud . Baphomet ' s other enemies included the demon lord Graz ' zt , who recently imprisoned him for some time much as he imprisoned Waukeen during the Time of Troubles , and the Demon Queen of Harpies Ardat . The hatred between Baphomet and Yeenoghu started with an alliance . Both lords had allied to invade an elven kingdom , but were eventually pushed back by the elves , Bahamut , and an alliance of good dragons . Both demon lords blamed the other for the defeat . Baphomet had an unusual relationship ( for tanar ' ri ) with Pale Night , who shared his lair . The two were neighbors with what amounted to an unofficial noninterference pact , as Pale Night ' s influence did not really extend much further than the edges of her plateau . Though they never joined forces to accomplish a goal , it was possible that any attempt to lay siege to the holdings of one might have provoked the other . Dogma . Baphomet was the embodiment of savagery , an insidious force that wormed its way into the heart of his followers to deceive them into embracing brutality . History . It was suggested that Baphomet started his existence as a mortal creature ; although it was unclear whether he was a beast that lived as a man or a man who lived as a beast . It was also suggested that he was cursed by the gods for daring to treat them like cattle , and thus banished to the Abyss . In any case , Baphomet reveled in his power , seeing the curse more as a blessing . In 1357 DR he had been captured by an alliance between Yeenoghu and Orcus and resided as prisoner in the Orcus ' layer . Publication history .
