Monsters: Demons

Monsters: Demons

Here we have three more demons from the Monster Manual II. Palrethee and zovvut aren't really interesting, but the jovoc is just not nice. I remember using these small menaces in my D&D games and I felt dirty after that. If you want to punish your players and your conscience, then throw them at the PCs.
