Fictional character biography
Sligguth is a snake-like demon, the spawn of Set, who has clashed with Doctor Strange. He works closely with his "dark priestess" Ebora and is served by an army of Serpent Men. Sligguth was apparently destroyed during a fight with Strange.[1]
Sligguth's history was revealed sometime later: Set spawned several offspring, one of which was Sligguth, shortly after the formation of the Earth and the creation of the Elder Gods. Set and his offspring later abandoned their physical forms and escaped to another dimension, allowing the Demogorge to destroy their physical forms as part of his destruction of the Elder Gods.[2]
During the Fear Itself storyline, Sligguth attended the Devil's Advocacy where they discussed the Serpent's threat on Earth.[3]
