Description

Horrendous crimson runes that are difficult to look upon writhe on the lumpy, muscular flesh of this winged toad-like creature and from its fanged maw slathers a tongue covered in saliva of a multitude of colors. Hydrodaemons are native to the waterways of Nülda, and with the chaos being wrought by Kalle Sirkesalo they are making their way across the Sıfırda Rivers to wreak havoc in Underland (until reaching the surface where their mayhem only expands). There is little that can sate one of these fiends save for live prey—they take great delight in a meal wriggling trying to free itself before ultimately succumbing to a quiet death.

Monster Type Description

Fiends are evil-aligned creatures from Hell, the Abyss, and other cursed realms. Most fiends are demons and devils, each of which have their own subtypes and hierarchies. Some fiends, such as hell hounds , are neither demons nor devils.
