	Glabrezu tempt their victims into ruin by luring them with power or wealth. These demons are as tall as giants, with broad, muscular bodies. Two of its four arms end in clawed hands and two end in powerful pincers. Its doglike head is horned and its muzzle is full of sharp teeth. Glabrezus rank second behind the [[Succubus (Dungeons & Dragons)\|succubus]] in terms of demons that tempt and corrupt mortals. Unlike them, the glabrezu does not offer pleasures of the flesh but offers power, wealth, and respect undreamed of by even the most ambitious person. Strangely, glabrezus are unable to change (or ''~~[[Shapeshifting\|~~polymorph]]'') their frightening appearance, so they usually visit mortals in secret. They are most commonly summoned directly by a mortal (such as ambitious human wizards or drow priestesses) who hopes to make bargain. Sometimes they find a potential victim on their own, presenting their "gift" to this person whether or not they want it. In some cases, glabrezus never reveal themselves to a person, relying on their [[telepathy]] to speak directly in the victim's mind. They may be direct about their nature or make the person believe he is going insane.		Glabrezu tempt their victims into ruin by luring them with power or wealth.

When Belshazu and Jeggred later confronted, there was no fatherly recognition between, and the former taunted the latter. Jeggred would have attacked were it not for his masters' command. Belshazu was finally killed (possibly permanently) by Pharaun Mizzyrm, while on the plane of infinite portals. He was utterly destroyed by a combination of spells ending in a high-level casting of banshee wail.		*Belshazu<ref>{{cite book \| title=War of the Spider Queen Book V: Annihilation \| author = Philip Athans \| isbn= 0-7869-3752-1 \| year = 2005 \| publisher= Wizard of the Coast}}</ref>: Summoned by [[House Baenre#Triel Baenre\|Triel Baenre]], and coupled with her so that Triel bore the demon's seed, and produced a half-drow/half-demon child, Jeggred the draegloth.
