On Tymaera the term daemon holds to the above. However it is broken down into sub-meanings:
Daemon - generally refers to supernatural beings in the services of deities, usually the evil ones. There are nicer names for the servants of the gods of light. Daemons are actually extensions of the will of the gods, taken form to become their own conscious beings.
Demon - Evil spirits that serve no particular deity.
Chaos Demon - The evil entities that have been born of the Dreaming Gate and should not be present in any part of Creation.]]> en-us Gallery 2 RSS Module, version 1.1.8 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:36:16 +0000 120 http://art.daemonslayers.net/d/484-2/Daemons.jpg http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/ http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/dark_manticore.jpg.html http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/dark_manticore.jpg.html
Class: Corrupted.

The corruptive magic that seeps from the Dreaming Gate does not just sustain the godless chaos demons that creep through with it. Insidious and unseen, it permeates the land and the creatures that inhabit it, warping them into foul entities that share their demon kindred's tastes for mortal death. Once turned, they are given to wander, spreading the taint of their corruption.

This creature is one of them. Once a manticore that lived in the Southlands, now a hideous aberration that has wandered north of the blighted lands beyond World's Spine. Though there have been many disappearances in its whereabouts the monster's existence is largely dismissed as rumour or mis-attributed to any one of the dangerous creatures that inhabit Caevalonia as no one has had a good look at this creature and lived. For if you are misfortunate enough to see the dark manticore, then it most definitely saw you first...

The dhar'griul, or soul-eaters as they are known in Common Tongue, are a race of daemon found throughout the Lower Planes that prey upon the immortal essence of any lesser being they can get their claws into, ideally sweetened by their victim's terror. They are aligned to the god of greed and famine. Their hunger is never sated and whilst they enjoy their metaphysical meals, their very favourite flavour is mortal flesh and blood, a rare commodity in the regions they inhabit. As such, if a magic user or dark cleric summons one to the mortal plane, they come quickly and willingly but once here they are all but impossible to control and, if they break free of the summoning spell's control, they will go on the rampage. They're sneaky devils though and, even once they find a weakness in their summoner's supposed control, they will feign compliance, choosing only the most opportune moment to strike...

Not all Nadath are born with intellect. In fact, about half of all the demon hounds are little more than vicious animals with supernatural tracking instincts and can't even walk on two legs like their smarter siblings. Their appearances vary, so some look fairly canine, others have horns sprouting where their eyes should be, eyes where they shouldn't be etc. They're chaos demons, what do you expect?]]> Drakhenliche photo Sun, 02 May 2010 19:52:13 +0000 http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/hellbeastie.jpg.html http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/hellbeastie.jpg.html
Possessed of a bloodthirst that cannot be slaked, the most important thing to remember about hell beasts is to avoid them! Occasionally they find their way to the realms of mortals - usually through being accidentally or purposefully summoned by dark clerics and evil magic users. If their summoner is inexperienced then the beasts can easily wrestle free from any binding spells, tear any living thing in sight to pieces then bound off into the night. It is generally quite easy to find them by following the trail of senseless death - sentient beings preferred - the tricky bit is killing it without becoming another victim first!]]> Drakhenliche photo Tue, 14 Dec 2010 18:12:05 +0000 http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/infokuralex.jpg.html http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/infokuralex.jpg.html
Species: Kuralex
Class: lesser chaos demon
As one of the earlier demons to come through the Dreaming Gate and so become corporeal, the kuralex has over time developed into a demonic species in its own right.
To think of a kuralex as a fast, scaly carnivorous horse would not leave you far from the truth. They are vicious but not particularly bright and require skilled riders.
Though not very hefty, karulexes are fast and so favoured as light cavalry in battle, or as the steeds of scouts and spies. They are immune to fire and such magics.]]> Drakhenliche photo Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:19:06 +0000 http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/shadow_rider.jpg.html http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/shadow_rider.jpg.html

Character: Eragoren The Red
Species:undead demon (previously a red dragon)
Class: greater demon.
Role: enslaved guardian
Eragoren the Red is an accursed beast. He was once a red dragon, fierce and proud but when he destroyed the temple of the god Thorisis and stole the temple's most sacred artefact, the angered god cast down a terrible vengeance upon him, turning him into a tormented demon that may never die.
Eragoren now leads an accursed existence and must now spend his eternity guarding the ruins of the temple he destroyed. ]]> Drakhenliche photo Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:18:42 +0000 http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/daemon_shadow_priest.jpg.html http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/daemon_shadow_priest.jpg.html
Species: N'ir'a'nsha aka. Shadow Priest
Class: greater daemon.
Role: Dark clerics.
N'ir'a'nsha are a race of daemons dedicated to serving the dark gods. On rare occassions they will also work with the more powerful of the Daemon Princes such as Ahriman (Izael) but they consider only true deities to be worthy of their devout servitude. These unwholesome creatures can be found at the rotten heart of almost all of the cults following the dark gods and are sent up from the underworlds to oversee matters on the mortal plane as well as being a kind of 'badge of honour' to show the cult they're taken seriously by their deity. They generally oversee how the organisation is run and perform complex rituals, important sacrifices and torture for information gathering where necessary. They take a particular (and not a little perverse) delight in putting sharp inplements to soft mortal flesh.]]> Drakhenliche photo Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:18:42 +0000 http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/fian_demon.jpg.html http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/fian_demon.jpg.html
Class: lesser chaos demon
One of the more common types of chaos demon found on Tymaera, the Fian are dumb, vicious and have a nasty habit of blowing up in clouds of acid when killed...
They have the ability to communicate telepathically with one another over long distances. The elders of their species - the first proper fian demons - command their younger brethren and are much more intelligent. They are led by Finegar, one of Saragoth's lackeys.
Fian are the most common and widespread of chaos demons. While they're certainly no masterminds, they possess a cruel intellect and an overriding sense of spite.
They travel in flocks causing devastation wherever they go. Their preferred attack is to swoop and pluck their hapless victim from the ground to be torn apart/eaten midair or dropped to their death. Or they also do kamikaze style dive bomb attacks.]]> Drakhenliche photo Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:17:47 +0000 http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/daemon_gulper.jpg.html http://art.daemonslayers.net/v/Daemons/daemon_gulper.jpg.html
Species: Tharleseer (aka 'Gulper daemons'). Click for more info.
Class: Greater Daemon
Appears in: 'The Unseen''The Unseen'

The tharleseer, better known as 'Gulper daemons' are a particularly vile species that inhabit certain regions of the Lower Planes where they prey upon any unfortunate being small enough to fit down their sizeable maw.]]> Drakhenliche photo Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:17:47 +0000
