Demon lord of cold and grost giants, he resembles an enormous, yellow skinned, stocky humanoid. His body is nearly hairess and he walks upon two stumpy legs. He is hated by all, even other demon lords and princes. In the real world, Koschei is a legendry beast of Russian myth of horrific ugliness that enjoys menecing young women and who cheated death by placing his soul in a needle, in an egg, in a duck, in a hair, in an iron chest. In other myths it is the name of a hated race of goblins who dwell in the Caucacus mountains and lust after young maidens. Note: CR28 in Dragon#345.
