Bestiary - Demons

Demons

Demons are extraplanar creatures that feed off of mortal souls and mana. While they many would consider them evil, others see their desire for souls as nothing more than survival instincts, no different from carnivorous creatures. However, the actions performed in pursuit of souls are usually considered immoral and cruel by many. In addition, certain demons seek to alter the "taste" of souls, enjoying tortured or lonely souls, with the purest of souls being said to be the most nourishing.

Soul Fragments are of particular value to a Demon, the emotions and memories within being incredibly desirable and leading to these Fragments being akin to precious jewels.
