Monsters: Hellfire Monsters

Monsters: Hellfire Monsters

In this post, we have three enemies united by the same theme - hellfire. Hellfire engine is a diabolic constuct from Fiending Codex II. Hellfire golem is... a diabolic construct from Fiend Folio. And orthon is a hellfire-wielding devil from Fiendish Codex II.
