[QUOTE="demiurge1138, post: 1019499, member: 7451"] Better late then never, eh?;) More half-demon flavor-text, from non-MM sources. [U]From the BOVD[/U] [B]Maneskin[/B] [I](half-mane)[/I] These lowly and pathetic creatures are even lower than dretchen on the abyssal totem-pole. They resemble the bloated corpse of their human parent, and tiny worms wriggle throughout their porous skin. It is believed that they are formed through the spirits of abyssal petitioners infusing themselves into unborn fetuses. [B]Ruttermen[/B] [I](half-rutterkin)[/I] Ruttermen are one of the more "normal" looking half-demons, resembling a man or woman wracked by a hideous disease. They often use this appearance to their advantage, posing as beggars in the back allies of large cities only to pounce upon and devour their unwitting benefactors. They will occasionally form beggar's unions and guilds, marked by savage behavior and violence in the cities homeless population. [B]Guradon[/B][I](half barlgura)[/I] Guradons are rare among the demon-men, common only among decadent savages living in the most remote jungles. A guradon is marked by a heavy brow, lengthy limbs, tusks, and coarse orange hair in patches on the body. They are venerated by their peers, and are usually the shaman of their tribe (taking sorcerer, then Thrall of Demogorgon levels). [B]Babauga[/B] [I](half-babau)[/I] Babaugas are cadaverously thin demon-men, with bony joints and a skull that tapers back to a point. They live on the outskirts of society, preying on the weak, the old, and the sick. Babauga have a special fondness for the flesh of human children. Occasionally, a babauga will become an assassin, often taking jobs which require that a young victim be slain. [B]Shade of the Abyss[/B] [I](half-shadow demon)[/I] A Shade of the Abyss is the ultimate killer, attacking the soul instead of the body. They resemble their human parent closely, except for their jet-black skin, onyx horns and wings that fade into the ether at their tips. Most Shades of the Abyss are necromancers, and they revel in the use of the [I]magic jar[/I] spell. Shades of the Abyss are usually the result of a shadow demon's possession of a pregnant woman. [B]Strejemen[/B] [I](half-chasme)[/I] A strejeman is like a god to ruttermen, dretchen and maneskin, forming tiny dictatorships full of hideous, degenerate demon-men. They are mostly humanoid, with an additional pair of tiny, useless arms, a hooked beak of a nose, compound eyes and the membranous wings of a giant fly. They often use ruttermen as spies into mercenary camps, looking for vrukhs to discredit and kill. Demiurge out. [/QUOTE]
