Monsters: Demons III

Monsters: Demons III

Fiend Folio has quite a lot of fiends, hence the title. It provides seven demonic entries. Alkilith is an ooze demon that is repulsive even to other demons. Blood fiend is not actually a demon, but a vampire variant that feeds on demon blood (fiendish dire bat was converted to provide a template for one of the alternate forms). Klurichir is a powerhouse that terrifies even balors. Maurezhi is a ghoulish demon that consumes corpses and assumes their form. The other three have a common theme, so I will write a separate post.
