	Entry:	Yelg
	Series:	Ogum
	Origin:	Dungeon Game
	Generation:	1st
	Created:	c. 1990

A demon as fearsome as it is powerful. This stout brute walks about on a pair of limbs that fit being called neither legs or arms. Suspended by these two ambiguous parts is an evil, horned head with a crushing pair of jaws. As if its size and strength were not enough, its hide is plated in a thick, protective, thorny armor.

History:

Creature, as it was so skillfully named in its early years, was one of many strange creations made to populate the dungeon of the first "game" I ever created, that now survives as DungeScape. Its reduced body was largely contributed to spacing issues and the fact that torsos, crotches, and most any part of the human physiology were not easy for me to draw.

The appearance of the purple monster was reused in several future ideas, normally aimless and directionless unfinished ideas started on random sheets of paper. Its role was always the "powerful" enemy as opposed to the regular pushovers. It would appear in/be slated to appear in such titles as The Game of Stuff, as a foe in Rumbl-o-Rama, and currently resides as one of the Ogum.
