'''Nabassu''' are one o the many, many types of [[demon]]s found in the [[multiverse]] of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. Whilst perhaps not as immediately recognizable as the [[Succubus]] or the [[Glabrezu]], Nabassu are amongst the game's oldest and most well-represented demonic lineages. Appearing as [[gargoyle]]s - winged, tusked, ugly, fiendish humanoids - made of flesh rather than rock, nabassu were considered a "Greater [[Tanar'ri]]" back in the days of [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]], which set the model they have clung to ever since.

Similarly to the [[barghest]], nabassu have a strange life cycle that involves crossing planar boundaries. Young nabassu are booted out of the [[Abyss]] into the [[Prime Material]], where they will either die or kill enough humanoids that all the souls they eat will power them up into adults, whereupon they will be strong enough to return to the Abyss and eventually start the cycle over. This hunger for souls dominates everything about nabassu "society", to the point they are traditionally described as having no interest in the [[Blood War]] - all they care about is breeding and eating. Later editions even go so far as to make them fiendish cannibals, who feed on the souls of other demons once they reach maturity, and as such they are widely considered persona non grata even in Abyssal society.

They've been around since 1st edition AD&D, debuting in the [[Monster Manual]] II, and have appeared in every single edition since.
