Last Friday I said a bunch about how demon lords aren't easily converted between the different systems, and this whole section of the book was one I'd been putting a lot of thought into. None of that applies to Akyishigal, who at level 12 in the Tome of Beasts really doesn't count as a real demon lord even by that system's expectations. Akyishigal might announce itself as the lord of cockroaches and a power of the Abyss, but its only real claim to fame is being effectively unkillable, having survived despite its general weakness in comparison to even regular demons. As durable and adaptable as the creatures it claims lordship over, Akyishigal carves out hidden lairs within the realms of true demon lords, remaining below notice and ready to escape at any moment.
In Golarion, Akyishigal can't grant clerical powers like a true demon lord, but it is doing its best to worm its way into being recognized regardless. Its spawn are released into the world to spread the word of the lord of cockroaches, and while few have any respect for that title it does what it can to provide for those who call out its name. So far, small numbers of weaker humanoids, in particular kobolds, goblins, and roachllings, as well as some escaped slaves or thralls, have thrown their lot in with Akyishigal, providing it a hidden but growing base of followers.
In the Dragon Empire, Akyishigal has snuck out from under the attention of both the Diabolist and the Crusader, and makes its own home hidden somewhere under one of the great cities. Managing to avoid drawing too much attention to itself, it skulks among the refuse and the forgotten, offering aid and power to those who live in the garbage, and making plans to grab for its own power without the oversight of any Icon.
Inspired by the Tome of Beasts 1. This post came out a week ago on my Patreon. If you want to get access to all my monster conversions early, as well as access to my premade adventures and other material I’m working on, consider backing me there!

Claw Flurry [2 actions] Akyishigal makes four claw Strikes, each against a different target. These attacks count toward Akyishigal's multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until it makes all its attacks.
Cloak of Swarms [2 actions] (aura, divine) Akyishigal emits a cloud of flying, stinging insects in a 5 foot aura. While the aura is active, Akyishigal is concealed, and any living creature that enters the area or starts its turn within it takes 2d10 piercing plus 1d10 poison damage (DC 31 basic Reflex save). The aura lasts for 5 round; it disperses immediately if Akyishigal takes 15 area or splash damage from a single source. Akyishigal can't use this ability again for 1d4 rounds.
Skitter [1 action] Akyishigal Strides up to 20 feet, and makes a claw Strike against a creature in its reach at any point during the Stride.
