@artetak's blue Baphomet is still her most recognizable, but her other figures are even more unrestrained and her palates trend very purple, so blue Bapho is almost conservative by comparison. ...relatively speaking, of course.

The Greek "drakon" meant serpent, although it could still be a large, divine/quasi-divine creature like the python slain by Apollo. Many artists just turn the python into a dragon anyway, because after all why leave money (treasure?) on the table.

So who did design Chernobog? Great (but tragic) Danish folklore artist Kay Nielsen, via paintings like these.

Originally, D&D imagined Baphomet as a kind of demon patron of minotaurs. Maybe they were unclear on the concept, or maybe there just weren't enough goat-themed D&D monsters to go around at the time.
In recent years they've expanded his portfolio to big, angry animals generally.
Various D&D resources imagine Pazuzu as the lord of evil flying monsters, which is actually kind of close to his old mythical role as king of wind demons. During the Satanic Panic years they changed his name to Pazrael, possibly to avoid association with "The Exorcist."
Although the art style was...let's go with "basic"...the actual designs of the earliest D&D demons from 1976 remain essentially unchanged in modern game products.
Satan is pushing the old "What are you eating under there?" gag like twice a day and we all have to pretend it's still funny, but the important thing is it's a good cause.
