I know it’s probably never going to happen
But the mental image of a family dinner of Pazuzu, Lamashtu, and Deskari amuses me especially because Lamashtu is essentially Deskari’s stepmother
And you thought your in-laws were bad

It's weird how Lamashtu is played up in lore to be one of the most evil of the pathfinder gods, but has some of the least restrictive Anathema of the evil gods

[NobodyCares]

I'm somewhat ashamed of how much I love Lamashtu as a goddess. Bitch get's shit done (and don't pretend she would dislike that title). Lamashtu is the single strongest argument imo against the notion that Asmodeus is one of the two primal beings of creation, cause what sort of eldritch god lets a relative newcomer waltz in and carve out a piece of his realm along with an entire pantheon for herself? And his only retribution is marking her up with Rovagug in the people he won't make deals with? Why does she need to make deals with you when she can just take whatever she wants? You want domain over beasts but a pesky god has already claimed it? Just lure him to your home, beset him with an army of demons, and then eat his very divinity because just devouring his soul like a daemon is beneath your alpha status. Lamashtu just radiates Chad/Insanity Wolf/girl boss energy, and her clerics can potentially be pretty chill for serving a demon goddess, so long as they fall more in line with her philosophies of motherhood and empowering the downtrodden above the self-mutilation and natural selection aspects. Chaotic Evil is so often a token, stereotyped alignment, but Lamashtu and her worshippers make it work in a way that's both compelling and interesting.

I love your video thank you so much for the content! It's so hard to find accurate and fun Pathfinder lore videos. Most video are just people reading from the books, and are a bit dull. But I love your unique style and story telling and just everything!!! also 1 of my PCS just got pregnant (in game) I might be an evil DM and implement this deity bwahahah 💜 also hope u feel get well soon!

[wingnut]

Great work on the Mother of Monsters
Hope you feeling better

[Schlingelis]

Awesome as always! I'm really looking forward to more gods and goddesses. Especially Calistria!

[michaelsinclair]

Nice video, enjoyed it. Now I shall watch the rest!

As an aside - any chance of a Cayden Cailean episode?

[azazelgrigori]

I got a fantasy world of my own that I'm building. In it, Lamashtu is the patron of shapeshifters and predators, in both the human and animal concepts. Her cults enjoy tactics of stealth and assassination and like to move into small towns and hunt for lone travelers at night. The murders excite a panic that they like to take advantage of, tossing blame on enemies and rivals.

[XFeuerFestX]

Absolutely horrific. Thank you for the perfect Halloween video

[almitrahopkins]

Lamashtu is a Mesopotamian goddess. This form is based on the Hebrew version, named Lilutu, or Lilith.

Awesome series- i really like the presentation, you plan to cover all gods like this?

[albanmahoudeau]

I'm possessed.by Lamash.
Lamashtu.Yo Said. ? HERK !:

[jm]

The only thing I knew about Lamashtu was the things on Kingmaker, there she seens like a very OK godess, like, barely evil. I even thout she was a misuderstood neutral godess of nature.

Played a goblin follower of lemashtu in 2e
He was a char hide bard who mainly used alchemist fires to burn his enemies and would kill birds to create shrines to her in inns and taverns.
Fun character- shit system.

[luccaaiello]

She’s very fucked up villain and i love it. Pathfinder gods are amazing

[ebonstone]

The Munsters are a Lamashtu Cult!? I KNEW IT!

[OMartinez]

Remember guys:

If the bard refers to her as a mother, then he is safe

If he calls her a milf, he must be replaced

If he calls her mommy, death is the only cure, I'm afraid

[Arkirious]

I'm trying to find info on the seven witches, anyone know where I can find explicit info on them?
