Figures of ancient and terrible evil, balors rule as
generals over demonic armies, yearning to seize power
while destroying any creatures that oppose them.
Wielding a flaming whip and a longsword that
channels the power of the storm, a balor's battle
prowess is fueled by hatred and rage. It channels this
demonic fury in its death throes, falling within a blast of
fire that can destroy even the hardiest foes.BARLGURA
The barlgura represents the savagery and brutality
of t'he Abyss. Barlguras gather in packs to take down
tougher foes, keep gruesome trophies from their
victories, and decorate their territory with such objects.
,A barlgura looks like a hulking orangutan with a
gruesome, drooping visage and tusks jutting from
its jaw. Standing just under 8 feet tall, it has broad
shoulders and weighs 650 pounds. It moves apishly
along the ground, but it climbs with great speed
and agility.
CHASME
This loathsome demon resembles an unspeakable
crossing of humanoid and fly. A chasme shuffles about
on four spindly legs that can find purchase on walls
and ceilings. A droning sound precedes the approach
of a chasme, inflicting foes with a terrible lethargy that
leaves them open to attack.
The lowly chasmes serve more powerful masters as
interrogators or taskmasters. A chasme lives to dole
out torture as punishment, and has a knack for spotting
demons that have deserted their lords. Capturing and
returning such traitors allows a chasme to torment the
victim without fear of reprisal.
DRETCH
Dretches are among the weakest of demons- repulsive,
self-loathing creatures doomed to spend eternity in a
state of perpetual discontent. Their low intelligence
makes dretches unsuitable for anything but the simplest
tasks. However, what they lack in potential, they make
up for in sheer malice. Dretches mill about in mobs,
voicing their displeasure as an unsettling din of hoots,
snarls, and grunts.
GLABREZU
A glabrezu takes great pleasure in destroying mortals
through temptation, and these creatures are among the
few demons to offer their service to creatures foolish
enough to summon them.
Although glabrezus are devastating in combat, they
prefer to tempt victims into ruin, using power or wealth
as a lure. Engaging in guile, trickery, and evil bargains,
a glabrezu hoards riches that it uses to fulfill promises
to shortsighted summoners and weak-willed mortals.
However,. if its attempts to entice or deceive fail, a
glabrezu has the strength to fight and win.
GORISTRO
The goristro resembles a fiendish minotaur t0wering 1
more than twenty feet tall. When controlled by a demon
lord, goristros make formidable living siege engines and
prized pets. Goristros possess preternatural cunning
when navigating labyrinthine passages and shifting
corridors, pursuing foes in a terrifying hunt.
A hulking goristro sometimes bears a palanquin,.
carrying smaller demons on its broad shoulders,
