Description
Variant Demon
A peculiar and equally terrifying monster of unknown qualities. These demons have came in varied forms consisting of flesh and bone with vaguely humanoid appearances. They are largely known as encounters with these are considerably rare and just as dangerous. These creatures not only can come in many forms, but personality as well. Some in between can be intelligent and understanding, or seemingly blinded in primitive rage. If there was one common trait to identify this species as, it's their chaotic unpredictability in both form and mind. Demons such as these are formerly called "Variants" by scholars of demonology.
Dear Mother, I have made a grave error. I tried to track down a certain creature that took my interest, a "Silver Variant" of such, but this is well beyond what I imagined. The moment that creature laid it's eyes on me, I could feel death ebbing into my very soul. Even now that I have ran away, my legs have started to lose their effectiveness out of the pure terror my heart has endured. To anyone that reads this, don't do the same as I did. Please run away as fast as possible. I am weary so I will be making a short rest to recover and make my escape from this horrible forest.
