Description
Aspirants are leathery-skinned creatures, perhaps eight feet tall if they stood straight, but usually hunch or crouch. They are clad in form-fitting armour of Hellish design, adorned with sharp spikes and blades and implausible fluting. When they come close to their prey, their lower jaw opens in three horrifying tooth-lined parts, allowing a soporific gas to puff forth.
Aspirants are infernal hunters and warriors, dedicated to bringing in their prey to gain advancement in the fiendish hierarchy. They can often be heard to whisper to themselves in the third person ("this one stalks its prey, yes") to themselves as they stalk their prey.
