Abyssal Bound Souls
Demons in particular service to a Demonic Lord, Demonic Prince, or Demonic Queen
From the Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss, Pg. 83.
I hit upon a fit of inspiration after looking at a picture from the Fiendish Codex I. I intend to use it as a way of differentiating lower class demons that are in the service a particular demon lord or demon queen. These lower demons take the characteristics of their patron, although not uniformly so. It is the nature of the Abyss after all.
A second version is in the works for Abyssal Bound Souls. This version will be based on Mortal templates.
Alkilith: Demogorgon - Disgusted by even the most savage of Demogorgon's legions, this demon-blob, when utilizing its own mass, spontaneously generates two heads when wishing to communicate to its intended victim or functionaries, or sometimes both.
