Description
Malovats appear as humanoids with one large horn spiralling around their head like a halo, with their body covered in paint-like liquid which changes colour at the Malovat's will. Their eyes are also able to change colour, and most accurately represent the Malovat's mood, more so than their facial expression or paint colour.
Mutineers. Malovats are type-5 demons who are largely independent, and care even less for order than most demons, even to the the point of making irrational decisions just to be out of servitude. Malovats never listen to anyone, even demon lords, and are disgusted by any 'weak' enough to follow laws of any kind.
Sadists. Malovats tend to enjoy torturing their enemies, or if their enemy loses all sense of hope and wishes to be killed, they let them live. Malovats accomplish this in many ways, usually less conventional than most techniques, for example they may blind them with their paint, or poison them over and over again.
- Malovat is the Czech word for paint.
