	===History===		===History===
	Jammudaru was once an ogre that survived a curse placed on him by an adventurer, and became a slimy horror. Seeking revenge he sought out the adventurer and his party, and boiled them alive in cauldron of green slime and bubbling tar before eating them. Following this he went on a massive ~~campaing~~ of terror and destruction, killing other ~~adeventurers~~ and innocents in the same way. Eventually this attracted the attention of the entropic Immortal, who helped him ascend to the Sphere of Entropy.

	Jammudaru is a hateful being, inspiring others to extraordinary acts of violence, to seek revenge, and inflict torture on others. He likes plunging innocent people to horrific nightmares, which is where he earned his moniker. He has only enemies, most notable ones being [[Halav]], who hates most patrons of the humanoids, [[Kagyar]], who despises how he has others destroy great works of craftsmanship and art, and [[Tarastia]], who despises how he insists other pursue senseless and unjust vengeance.

	'''Vaprak ~~the Destroyer~~''' is a lesser deity of the monstrous races in [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. Patron god of [[Ogre]]s, [[Troll]]s and their various kinsfolk, this minor entity has never been a great power in his own right; he's been described across the editions as either a lesser deity stumbling along awe-struck in the shadows of the [[Giant]] gods, a [[Demon Prince]], or, in the [[World Axis]] cosmology, as an Exarch who bows his head in respect to the savagery of [[Gruumsh]], the [[Orc]] God.

	The Destroyer first appeared in 1980's Deities & Demigods [[splatbook]]; it then took ''12 years'' for him to be upgraded in Monster Mythology, which finally presented details on his priesthood. He later made appearances for the [[Forgotten Realms]] in 1995's "Giantcraft", and then for [[Planescape]] in "On Hallowed Ground" one year later. When [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] came to be, Vaprak was described briefly in "Defenders of the Faith" (2000) and later had his priesthood written up in 2004's "Complete Divine". In 4th edition, "Vaprak the Rapacious" (see below) appeared in "The Plane Above".
