  • Astradaemon Group, Large, Magical, Intelligent, Planar
    Reaping claws (d8 damage 2 piercing) 14 HP 4 armor
    Reach
    Special Qualities: Sight unhindered by anything

    Astradaemons are the elite soul hunters of Abaddon. They have no other duty that to bring back potent souls, either for conversion or destruction so its energies may be harvested. They are driven, almost fanatically so, and dedicated, but their single-minded focus should not be mistaken for stupidity. After all, to acquire the most potent of souls requires guile. Instinct: To harvest souls

    • Tear the soul out of a person
    • Absorb lifeforce
    • Jump between planes

  • Lifedrain Reaver Solitary, Large, Magical, Cautious
    Harvest Blades (d10+4 damage 2 piercing) 24 HP 4 armor
    Forceful
    Special Qualities: Aura of magical energy, Requires living body as fuel

    Lifedrain reavers are horrible constructs. Instead of gaining power from an elemental spirit bound into its form, instead a living being must be interred in a special, almost sarcophagus-esque chamber on the construct's back. this chamber will keep the subject alive, but when the reaver enters battle, it will drain the life essence of the trapped person in order to fuel its powers, which will eventually kill the interred. Instinct: To serve its creator

    • Melee attack at a distance
    • Suck the life energy out of people

  • Ceustodaemon Solitary, Large, Intelligent, Planar
    Crushing Blows (d10+2 damage) 16 HP 0 armor
    Forceful
    Special Qualities: Easy to summon

    Ceustodaemons are those souls who have ended up in the service of the daemons, without ever showing great loyalty to the cause. For this reason, they are often send off to assist summoners for low prices.

Instinct: To leave Abaddon

  • Bodak Solo
    Reckless Blows (d10 damage) 16 HP 0 armor
    Close

    The soul and the body are intrinsically tied together, only separating in death. But what happens when that connection is broken prematurely? A bodak is born. Bereft of a soul, these undead husks constantly wander to replace it. If their soul was merely stolen, absolution for these pitiful beings can be found through helping them recover it. But if the soul was destroyed, only putting the creature to death will help, as otherwise it will furiously tear any living being apart, desperate to try and take their life energy to fill their hollowness. Instinct: To regain a soul

    • Drain essence with a glance
