In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, Panzuriel is a deity of murder, confusion, subversion, and evil creatures of the sea. His symbol is a left footprint, a kraken's head, or a squid eye surrounded by nine tentacles.
Panzuriel was first detailed in the book Monster Mythology (1992), including details about his priesthood.
Panzuriel appears in 3rd edition in Defenders of the Faith (2000). He is detailed in Dragon #334 (2005) in the article "The Ecology of the Kraken".
Panzuriel manifests as a hunchbacked old humanoid figure with gills and green, scaly skin, which fades to yellow on his underbelly. His left leg ends in a crystalline foot, and he grasps a staff in his taloned hands to support himself as he limps onto dry land. He has shining green eyes.
Panzuriel may also manifest as a giant octopus.
In prehistoric times, Panzuriel's influence was banished from the Prime Material Plane by Deep Sashelas and Procan. Bitter and enraged at his banishment, he directs his minions to work against sea elves and the servants of Procan and other sea deities opposed to his works.
Panzuriel is sometimes said to be the father of Laogzed, the product of his coupling with a reptilian demon.
Panzuriel's realm of Rezuriel, described as a stinking, fetid, briny pool, is located in Niflheim, the second gloom of the Gray Waste.
Panzuriel seeks to lay havoc and waste to the seas, seeking revenge, torture, and murder of all his enemies.
Panzuriel is most commonly worshipped by evil aquatic races, such as koalinths, krakens, merrows, sahuagin, scrags, and vodyanoi. His worship is also growing among kopru, kuo-toa, and sea hags.
