[QUOTE="demiurge1138, post: 2881417, member: 7451"] 1. The list is about a column or so all told. There's a few listed in it, and in the CR list, I don't recognize. Could be from MMIV, or cut from this book, or even just from Dragon. The nashrou and the deathdrinker, specifically. It's not Abyssal residents in general, though - no mention of, say, abrians and varragoins. 2. The broodswarm, dybbuk, ekolid, guecubu, lilitu and sibriex are all new. [B]Broodswarm[/B]: Not really a demon, but instead a swarm of little CE implings formed from the flesh of a night hag. They swarm over victims for their hag master, sew their eyes, mouth and ears shut (as well as thoroughly catching them in string) and turn them over to the hag for debauchery. [B]Dybbuk[/B]: One of the loumaras, borne of the fragmented dreams of dead gods. They're incorporeal jellyfish that possess corpses and spread death in their wake while integrating themselves into mortal society. [B]Ekolid[/B]: An obyrith, ekolids are monstrously fecund Abyssal vermin, laying eggs in their hosts with six sharpened ovipositors that rapidly hatch into flesh-eating grubs. They have quickness like a choker, but limited to move actions only. [B]Guecubu[/B]: The other loumara, these wisps of thought possess people and murder their families telekinetically. An interesting way to model traditional poltergeists, but kind of boring otherwise. [B]Lilitu[/B]: Created of a succubus who incinerates herself and an entire cult in an orgy of flame, lilitu excel at robbing the gods of both power (casting as clerics) and followers, seducing and manipulating priests of good gods above all others. [B]Sibriex[/B]: My personal favorite of the new monsters, the sibriex is a massive lump of floating flesh, so hideous that its very visage is enough to break the mind, making those who succumb to its madness see it as ultimate beauty. Sages and fleshweavers, they dominate those that attack them and turn them into flesh-grafted minions. Oh, and they have chains embedded in their flesh, which they telekinetically manipulate to walk and attack (although they don't have a land speed, oddly). Demiurge out. [/QUOTE]
