Monsters: More Demonic Foes

Monsters: More Demonic Foes

Apparently, I missed another D&D demon from Dragon Magazine! Mechanically, it is nothing special, but the flavor is quite interesting, in my opinion. In addition to the cataboligne demon, I'll also convert two demon-adjacent monsters - the wrackspawn and the vorr.
