[edit] Cult of Dagon
Dagon is served by aquatic demons, especially wastrilith, and is worshipped by aquatic races such as kraken, chuuls, sea hags, water nagas, and kuo-toa.
[edit] The outcast Dagon
The demon lord Dagon should not be confused with the exiled devil of the same name, who dwells on Avernus, first layor of Baator. Originally known as Jaqon, Asmodeus forcibly changed Jaqon's name to Dagon to thwart attempts to summon the offender.
