Blibdoolpoolp, aside from having one of the stupidest names you've ever heard, is most recognizable for being one of the most minor racial deities in Dungeons & Dragons. She is the Chaotic Evil patron goddess of the Kuo-toa, a race of insane fish-men who can basically be described as the H.P.Lovecraft Deep Ones slightly retarded redneck cousins from the Underdark. She is best known for appearing as a beautiful naked woman with the head of a giant lobster and lobster claws instead of hands.
In 5th edition, it's been suggested that Blibdoolpoolp was probably first created by a mad Kuo-toa finding a statue of a woman with the head and arms broken off, replacing them with the appropriate parts from a giant lobster, and madly believing its creation was a god, which spread like wildfire through the race. This is because making up fictitious gods as a result of their insanity is one of the defining "quirks" of the kuo-toa in 5e.

Realm
Blibdoolpoolp makes her realm somewhere in the Abyss. Which layer exactly is a bit of a mystery, because it is never actually provided and any information found between campaign settings is incompatible with each other.
In the Forgotten Realms, she resides in the Fated Depths, which she shares with the deity Sekolah, though the two are at constant war with one another, though Blibdoolpoolp is believed to be losing the conflict and is at risk of declining into irrelevance. However, Sekolah's own part of the realm is accessed from the frozen layer of Sygia in Baator. This implies that the realm of the Fated Depths is a direct link between the Abyss and the Nine Hells.
What's more complicated is that the Fated Depths are considered an end point for the River of Blood which is analogous to the River Styx, which otherwise normally ends (or begins) in Acheron.
Meanwhile, back in the core cosmology, Blibdoolpoolp is occasionally referred to as a demon lord instead of a deity. It may be that Blibdoolpoolp is actually an aspect of the Demon Lord Dagon, who has existed and been worshipped by Kuo-toas since long before Blibdoolpoolp ever came along, and is also at war with Sekolah, marking some points of similarity between Demon Lord and Deity. Furthermore, Dagon cultist's are also attempting to wipe out worship if Blibdoolpoolp, so it may be that the religion just gets absorbed into the worship of Dagon.
