Description
Abyssal eviscerators dwell in the lower planes of the abyss, and are brutish if somewhat unintelligent creatures known for their fondness for carnage. Their muscular, hunched frame is powerful and studded with spikes and other protrusions capable of deflecting blades, and is resistant to many forms of magic. Their massive arms tipped with wicked claws can deal devastating blows, and from their torso a second, less pronounced set of arms protrude which the eviscerator uses to clasp its prey close to tear a potential victim assunder. A mouth full of sharpened teeth capable of easily rending flesh from bone completes its formidable arsenal.
As their name suggests, the abyssal eviscerator takes sinister delight in inflicting pain and suffering. It will often attempt to grasp its victims, drawing them in close before using its additional limbs to slowly and excruciatingly disembowel its victim, feasting upon the organs within to the horror of any witnessing it.
Dull-Witted. Abyssal eviscerators, while brutish, sinister, and savage, are dimwitted and easily manipulated. They are often found under the command of other greater demons who use them as expendable foot soldiers due to their strength, toughness, and recklessness.
