Geryon was an archdevil in the Nine Hells, before being ousted from his position as ruler of Stygia. Later, Geryon returned, and sought to reclaim his layer from Levistus.[7]
Description
Although Geryon typically stood 10 ft (3 m)tall, his serpentine body stretched to 30 feet (9.1 meters) in terms of length and ended in a venom-dripping barb.[9] His humanoid torso was muscular, with massive, bat-like wings protruding from his back, and his large, bestial arms ended in clawed hands similar to paws.[1][8][9] Despite his mismatched bodily structure, the Wild Beast had a kind of raw, animalistic presence that made him weirdly alluring and his head boasted a strangely handsome visage.[1][8]
Sometimes he took the form of smaller beings to make movement easier, preferring the shapes of monsters like ogres and minotaurs or [[[beast]]s like [[[tiger]]s.[8]
Realm
Geryon made his home in the fortress of Coldsteel, and commanded a number of ice devils, as well as minotaurs he had stolen from Baphomet.[7]
