Conceptual Beings: Demons of Wrath

Demons of the Circle of Wrath serve Soluk the Scourge. Their plane is fire, rivers of molten earth, and obsidian buildings. Here, most of Hell’s martial force is rallied to protect them in the battle against the Heavens.

Wrathful Demons are lesser demons of Wrath. These humanoid demons embody the anger, hype, and terror of soldiers preparing for their first real battle. They are the weakest demons of Wrath, often forming with full suits of armor or large tattered wings. Their blood boils and spray from injuries can cause severe burns in their attackers.

Wrath Demons are normal or greater demons of Wrath. These humanoid demons have dog-like heads with horns of fire. Greater Wrath demons double in size, shorten their snouts, and gain larger horns. When killed, they reform where they died once. Greater Wrath Demons rapidly heal when nearing death.

Spite Demons are lesser or greater demons of Wrath. These humanoid demons embody spite, appearing as tall creatures with bull-like features. Greater Spite demons are triple in size, have thick fur that serves as armor, and have more humanoid facial features. Spite demons can conjure fiery bolts that karmically seek out the least deserving target. Greater variants can inverse healing magic.

Slaughter Demons are greater demons of Wrath. These humanoid demons are scantily clad with blackened forearms ending in clawed hands. They have bird-like feet and wings of rusty serrated blades. They are mock mimics of the Conceptual Angels.

Gore Demons are normal or greater demons of Wrath. These large masses of muscle are covered in a thick layer of fat, thick hide, and horns like axe blades. Their maws are large and full of needle-like teeth. Their backs sport rows of pike-like spikes, which they decorate with the corpses of their foes. Greater Gore demons become the Titanic in size. Gore demons grow in power and aggression the more their current location is filled with corpses, blood, bones, and other gore. Greater variants can store blood for a pseudo-breath weapon on their foes.
