Kostchtchie is a demon lord that appears in dNetHack.
Origin
Kostchtcie appears as a demon lord in many Dungeons & Dragons settings such as Greyhawk and Pathfinder. His moniker is the Prince of Wrath, and he is the demon lord of giants, cold and revenge.
He was once a mortal man who was born severely deformed, and being ostracized from the people he lived around caused him to become just as 'ugly' inside as he was considered outside. In Pathfinder, this drove him to go on a brutal murder spree that claimed the lives of his family; Forgotten Realms extends this to every woman who ever mocked him, as well as his former tribe's chieftain.
Most versions have him attain immortality from a deal with Baba Yaga in some form, which transformed him into a monstrous giant, and he continued wreaking vengeance upon those who scorned him until he was struck down by the celestial paragon Gwynharwyf, after which he reincarnated in the Abyss as a demon lord.
In Dungeons & Dragons, he may be based on Koschei.
