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.

GM Tips:
- Demon Armour is ignored by shadow and holy damage, so players should be encouraged to use this to defeat them more easily.
- Demons are stronger near fire and will use it to their advantage. They are immune to fire so they will often try to start fires to put themselves at an advantage.
