Homebrew Alu-Demon Species Details

Progeny of the Abyss

Alu-Demons are, by nature, cruel, vicious beings, with the taint of a demonic bloodline corrupting everything they do. While an Alu-Demon is all too happy to kill, maim, and destroy on a whim, working with a team of adventurers requires a bit more coercion.

Alu-Demons are highly motivated by greed, lust, and the baser impulses. While an Alu-Demon will happily annihilate a team of Orcs attacking the village, the difficulty is in stopping the Alu-Demon from annihilating the village, too. Adventuring teams may find them difficult to work with unless they maintain sufficient bribes in the form of treasure and promises of future slaughters.

 

 

Alu-Demon Traits

Society On the mortal planes, Alu-Demons tend to integrate with already established communities in which their parents live. If too outlandish appearing, or if the natives are superstitious enough, they can be exiled. Pure Alu-Demon communities are few and lacking in structural economies, although they can exist. In the Abyss, however, Alu-Demons fit in quite well with the savage nature of the realm. They tend to stick close to parents, either in cooperation or in service. Alu-Demons travelling alone in the Abyss tend to naturally gravitate towards a Layer holding their own kind.
