Blygdagg

Blygdagg was a kuo-toa priest of Aava Zuiblix who became implanted with a larval illithid by Oobastis, transforming him into a mind flayer. Following this, he assumed effective control of Aava Zuiblix and planned the capture of Dagny and Zavine.
== History and Personality ==
As an illthid, he arranged for captured slaves to be brought to the swamp. Many of these were sacrificed for the kuo-toa faith or sport, while those of royal birth (such as Dagny and Zavine) were kept in secret in his home in Aava Zuiblix. 
The Bloodsworn have only heard Nilbool's descriptions of what Blygdagg was like before his transformation. Nilbool was critical of the younger priest, describing him as treacherous, sly and suave. 
== Skills and Powers ==
Blygdagg was a priest of the martial school and had magic enough only for simple illusions and disguises. He fought with an enchanted quarterstaff with which he could strike very quickly. As an illithid, he gained access to a variety of psionic powers, which he used to demonstrate his wisdom as monitor and in combat against the Bloodsworn. 
== In the Campaign ==
The Bloodsworn first heard about Blygdagg from Nilbool at the kuo-toa village of Guldybb in Eriabourne's Underdark. He was described as an intruder with psionic powers, and Nilbool gifted the party a starglass orb and psionic thinwhistle to combat the threat. His goal was apparently the sacrifice of their collective prisoners during the holy ritual of Gogdoragg. Their drow prisoner was vocally against travelling into the swamp to face him. In the Shivering Mire, they recruited Arvak and his grimlock warriors to join them in their quest to stop the ritual.
The Bloodsworn were able to enter the settlement without raising the alarm, and they stormed into the temple of the Sea Mother to see an orgy of spawning kuo-toa being bathed in the blood of prisoners sacrificed in the bloodletting cage above. Arvak and his warriors jumped into the spawning pools and started hacking at the writhing mass of kuo-toa, while Azuk, Salazar and Keldin engaged Blygdagg and Chieftain Bluda. During the battle, Blygdagg revealed his true identity as an illithid, but was slain by the corsair Salazar before he could escape.
Bluda saw that Blygdagg had been an invader and was grateful to the Bloodsworn. Nilbool was reinstated as monitor for a brief period before Aava Zuiblix fell to the invading drow.
