In the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' roleplaying game, '''Miska the Wolf-Spider''' is a [[Demon lord (Dungeons & Dragons)|demon lord]], and former holder of the title "[[Prince of Demons]]"."
==Publishing History ==
In the early days of the multiverse, in the so-called [[Age Before Ages]], the [[obyrith]] demon lord called The [[Queen of Chaos]] launched a war against the forces of Law. By brute force and threats of death and punishment, she rallied her fellow obyriths into a united front. To gain cooperation from the then-servitor race the tanar'ri, the Queen took as her lover and head general Miska the Wolf-Spider. The Queen went as far as to murder the then-Prince of Demons [[Obox-ob]] and bestow the title to her new consort.
Under Miska's command, the forces of Chaos were triumphant, taking over world after world, driving back the forces of Law, which were lead by the [[Wind Dukes of Aaqa|Vaati]], known as the Wind Dukes. The Wind Dukes evetually fashioned an artifact to use against Miska known as the ''[[Rod of Law]]''. On the battlefield of [[Battle of Pesh|Pesh]] on the world of [[Oerth]], the Wind Dukes defeated Miska, imprisoning him in [[Pandemonium (D&D)|Pandemonium]] and shattering the ''Rod'' into [[Rod of Seven Parts|seven parts]], effectively bringing the war to a stalemate. The Queen, to this day, looks for a way to free Miska to restart the war.
