Demon The living embodiment of mortal souls obsessed with sin and empowered by the Abyss, demons are armed and armored by their prior lives’ obsessions. Conjuring Demons Conjuring demons is ill-advised, yet the desperate or wicked still do. Rituals like planar ally or planar binding are typical for long-term ends, and summon fiend for combat applications. For planar ally, demons sometimes accept offerings that aren’t valuable if gifting them to a demon pushes the ritualist further into sin. Half-Demons The Abyss can corrupt living creatures through direct congress or supernatural infusion of Abyssal energies, resulting in monstrous hybrids. A half-demon should be a custom creature, but you can quickly generate one by giving an existing creature a few of a demon’s abilities along with the demon’s sin-related vulnerability. For example, a half-hezrou hill giant would gain purity vulnerability, but perhaps also a bite, swim Speed, and poisonous pustules. When swapping over abilities between creatures of different levels, be sure to adjust the numbers for the new level. Nalfeshnee (Boar Demon) Nalfeshnees are huge, corpulent, boar-headed demons that hoard treasures and knowledge alike and form from the souls of avaricious mortals. Few demons understand the inner workings of the Abyss itself like nalfeshnees, and it’s not unusual for a nalfeshnee to see itself as a servitor of the Abyss itself first rather than bow before a demon lord. Some claim stewardship over the fleshy realms that birth new demons, while others guard sites of particular significance deep in the plane’s secret reaches. A nalfeshnee’s realm in the Abyss can easily surpass the strength and size of the largest mortal kingdoms, for nalfeshnees display a singular gift for managing and manipulating the chaos of the Abyss. Secret Mongers Nalfeshnees covet knowledge as well as material goods, especially if such information can help satisfy the needs and desires of the Abyss. Each nalfeshnee has areas of interest in which they’re highly knowledgeable, but before a nalfeshnee reveals a secret, they typically demand a secret of at least equal value in return.
