It is probable that this creature is one of the most powerful and strongest of all demons. If he so much as slaps with his open hand the blow causes 1-4 hit points of damage. His terrible fists can deliver blows of 3-13 hit points. If he uses a weapon, he strikes with a bonus of +6 to hit and +8 on damage. Additionally, his tail has a virulent poison sting (-4 on all saving throws against its poison), and his tail strikes with an 18 dexterity which does 2-8 hit points each time it hits.
Orcus can at will, use any one of the following powers: cast continual darkness, charm person, create illusion (as a wand of that kind), cause fear (as a fear wand), detect magic, read magic, read languages, detect invisible objects, ESP, cause pyrotechnics, dispel magic, clairvoy, use clairaudience, cast a 12-die lightning bolt, suggest, polymorph self, create a wall of fire, telekinese 12,000 gold piece weight, animate dead (as a 19th level magic-user), cast a feeblemind spell once per day, project image, use any one of the symbols once per day, and has an 80% chance of gating in any demon of type I-V (but only 50% chance of gating a type V or VI and will never call upon another prince). Orcus can speak with the dead (as 20th level cleric).
Orcus furthermore is able to summon certain of the undead, for he is their prince. If random calling is desired by the referee the following chart is suggested:
| 1 | 4-48 skeletons |
| 2 | 4-32 zombies |
| 3 | 4-24 shadows |
| 4 | 2-8 vampires |
Finally, Orcus holds the wand of death (Orcus' wand) which is a rod of obsidian topped by a skull. This instrument causes death (or annihilation) to any creature, save those of like status (other princes or devils, saints, godlings, etc.) merely by touching their flesh. Other powers of this device as rumored amongst mortals are dealt with in another book.
Description: Orcus is a grossly fat demon, some 15' tall. His huge gray body is covered with goatish hair, and his head is goat-like although his horns are similar to those of a ram. His great legs are also goat-like, but his arms are human. Vast bat wings sprout from his back, and his long, snaky tail is tipped with a poisonous head.
