Hellgate Demon:Fetid Hulk

Fetid Hulk

Standing over twelve feet in height, the Fetid Hulk walks upright on two legs, their long and muscled arms providing some support as they move. This is rarely seen, however, as they are usually encountered while thundering down blows with gigantic, club-like fists, pummeling their foes into pulp. Although impressive in size, strength and stamina, they are somewhat sluggish and are certainly far from intelligent. Tactics and distance are an adventurer's two best weapons when fighting these demons.
Special note should be made of the large, glowing sac just below the mouth of the Fetid Hulk. This contains a particularly virulent toxin that is released when the beast feels it is in extreme danger. Should this occur, take every possible precaution to avoid long-term effects.

Hellgate Demons:Darkspawn Trooper

Darkspawn Trooper

The elite warriors of the Darkspawn clans, these fierce demons wade into battle using every conceivable means of weaponry. While traditionally eschewing the weapons of man, some have been seen using the more advanced devices of the Templar, such as the Grappler, to devastating and surprising effect.

Hellgate Demons:Darkspawn Sniper

Darkspawn Sniper

These demonic marksmen seem somehow deadlier the further they are from their target. They are manageably dispatched once they are drawn into close range, but they are less susceptible to being enticed to do so than their lesser kindred.

Hellgate Demons:Darkspawn Scout

Darkspawn Scout

Combing the remains of the city, and especially its numerous underground areas, is the fervent mission of these demons. They are especially devious, often laying wait in silence as unsuspecting adventurers are ambushed and dissected before they know what has happened.

Hellgate Demons:Darkspawn Diabolist

Darkspawn Diabolist

The Diabolists are a proud group, but those of the Darkspawn are arrogant and sadistic. While the clans are so competitive that they do little to aid each other, rumors exist of these demons actually acting to the detriment of other clans. They will aid their own, although they prefer unleashing their arcane energies against their foes.

Hellgate Demons:Darkspawn

The Darkspawn are a faction within the Primus caste that have a fascination and affinity for melding demonic magic with technology. They are insatiable in their search for the new and unknown, so they often roam the streets and tunnels of London looking for caches of items or - better yet - adventurers with powerful gear.The Darkspawn not only craft their own equipment, but can also use any that they find during their patrols. It is not uncommon to see one wielding weapons of human design that have been separated from their original owners.There are several distinct groups within the Darkspawn that are identified by both their specializations and their size and markings. Knowing their individual strengths and weaknesses is vital for an optimal chance of surviving an encounter.
