So you ever look at a character from a specific franchise and you feel a bit bummed out with the wasted potential they have?
Yeahhhh, this happened to me once I learned about Yeenoghu.
Now make no mistake, I can appreciate a bad guy if it is done right, but since it felt so plain for me, I decided to pick Yeen up and make him my own skrungly in my own Devilman AU.
Basically, this is my take on him and a few changes in his backstory.
Hope I ain’t doing a crime here .w.

Backstory:
Personality wise, Yeenoghu is still what you would expect from being the oh so called “lord of the gnolls”. He’s brutal, rude, gross, gluttonous and loves a good fight; but oddly enough, underneath his chaotic nature, he’s actually a bit of a lone warrior. It’s pretty rare to see him with company of somebody else, and his apparitions across the demon world are so rare, some believe he might be just a legend to scare off others or a ghost from the past.
But no, Yeenoghu is still alive and kicking. He’s just very good at hiding.
Despite being almost non-existent, however, the lord of the gnolls (or, the god of stench, as he sometimes goes by) has a terrifying ability in him. It is called Fang Of Yeenoghu. It basically involves injecting someone with the venom that radiates from his boar fangs, and whoever gets bitten suddenly goes into a blood-fueled frenzy, acting like a rabid beast until finally dying; either out of recklessness or exhaustion. Although, rest assured. It's pretty rare for him to use it considering he tends to devour his prey as soon as he lays his teeth upon them.
However, Yeenoghu one day ended up losing this ability as he bit into a piece of heavenly metal coming from the weapon of an angel. The scrap stabbed one of his teeth, fully breaking it, and slowly starting to destroy his fangs. If it was kept stuck in there, his whole maw could be vaporized and even end his life.
Fortunately, the angel of death, Azrael, one day found him after some investigation regarding the mythical gnoll, and in an unexpected act of kindness, he removed the broken tooth out of his mouth; thus saving him.
Despite the loss of his dreadful venom and the slight sensation of shame it brings him, Yeenoghu and Azrael remain on friendly terms, despite how much he likes to bully the angel regarding his goofy yet innocent nature.
Random facts:
-Yeenoghu is around 14 ft tall.
-Despite how bad he smells, Yeenoghu actually likes to bathe in rivers, lakes or any small formations of water.
-He has spiked tails. Three of them in total.
-He can literally eat a whole Apatosaurus worth of meat.
-He has a human form, and it is quite attractive to the normal eye. Even seductive.
-He has goat legs, a boar nose as a snout with two tusks, and vulture wings.
