Pazrael, aka Pazuzu, Abyssal Lord of the airborne realms. He/it doesn't rule any specific Abyssal layer, but rather the airborne regions of many/all of them.

He/it was mentioned mostly in 'On Hallowed Ground' in 2e, among other 2e sources I don't recall at the moment in specific. In 3e he/it was statted in the BoVD web enhancement.

Fully statted under "Abyssal Lords" in the MC appendix of the Planes of Chaos boxed set. I've also seen him referred to as Pazuzu, although I don't recall where.

As Pazuzu, Pazrael is fully statted in the Manual of the Planes web enhancement. Same illustration as Planes of Chaos had and everything.

I think Pazuzu's name was changed as part of the 2nd edition interdiction against "Satanic" imagery. Of course, Pazuzu is the demon from the Exorcist.

Speaking of which, I've been meaning to start a thread somewhere about the Exorcist: the Beginning movie and its connection to Pazuzu/Pazrael. Especially the flies in it, which are very appropriate to Pazrael's abyssal layer (Torremor: the Abode of Flies, if memory serves).

Panzuriel is a watery god who dwells in the Gray Waste. No relation.

Yes. Groening is a big nerd. I've changed my signature to reflect this.
