Homebrew Archdemon Species Details

The archdemons do not have an appearance as such, they simply resort to molding themselves to get the one they like the most, once they do that appearance persists for eternity, although that does not mean that they cannot hide their appearance with illusions and spells, as their deceptive nature dictates.

Archdemon Traits

Demons live in a hierarchy of sorts- the biggest bully rules, and Archdemons are the best at bullying. Other demons flock to serve them, to maybe, eventually, have a time that will come when they can usurp their master and ascend to the throne of lies the Archdemon rules from. Many of the current Archdemons were but mere shadow demons or quasits, the best at cunning and subterfuge, and managed to strike the killing blow on their old master, leaving them with a title of Archdemon. Though once they get there, they're at the top of the pack. They're so far above every other demon they've ever known, and that isolation may drive them mad, knowing they are so much more but also so much less than they were.
