Their favorite pass time is capturing mortals and other creatures and fattening them up, force feeding them until they cant move, then devouring them or keeping them as pets. Adros appear as extremely fat female humanoids with the lower halves of octopi, there lower halves are green or purple, while they usually have light purple skin with green hair.

Combat: Adros despise physical combat, usually preferring to lie back and allow her minions to fight off any attackers for her.
