In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Shargaas is the orc deity of darkness and thieves.
In many campaign settings, the orcish pantheon of gods consists of the leader Gruumsh, as well as Bahgtru, Ilneval, Luthic, Shargaas, and Yurtrus.
Shargaas lives in a realm called The Night Below on the plane of Gehenna.
Shargaas' priests wear red and black leather armor and leather caps. His sacred animal is the bat. His holy days are on the new moons. Stolen items are sacrificed to him monthly.
