Lesser Demon

System Message. Posting Book 8 spoilers will result in "acceleration" per our rules.

Lesser Demons are a type of Demon associated with fire. Lesser Demons often power ovens, castle heating systems, and steam-powered contraptions.^[1][2]

Description

Lesser Demons appear like red-skinned humanoid creatures with two black horns and swirling black eyes.^[3][4]

When a pregnant lesser demon goes into labor, they deliver roughly one baby every five minutes for 60 days (for a total of 15,000 - 18,000). Only one in 10,000 newborns survive more than a few seconds after a birth; the rest harden into Sheol Bricks.^[3] After delivery, the one or two surviving infants are named in a naming ceremony.^[2]

Classes

Lesser Demon MILF

A single mother’s gotta eat!

Where one finds big ovens that need stoking, one will regularly find a Lesser Demon in control. But if it’s a fire that needs to be extra hot, the much-rarer Sheol MILFs are often employed to keep those fires sizzling.

Once a pregnant Lesser Demon falls into labor, her delivery usually lasts about sixty days. During these two months, she has a litter of 15-18,000 babies, delivering one approximately every five minutes, non-stop.

Only one in 10,000 Lesser Demon babies are viable. The rest rarely live more than a few seconds. Their corpses shrivel and harden, becoming a valuable resource called Sheol Bricks. The 15th floor will be lousy with them. If exposed to fire, Sheol Bricks burn long and hot. Lesser Demon MILFs who also learn water magic can find lucrative work as steam boiler fire stokers. Once they seal themselves within the boiler, they create an almost self-sufficient system that keeps most larger boilers humming. Plus it’s a convenient method of disposing of their failed young.^[5]

On the Fourth Floor, Lesser Demon MILFs such as Fire Brandy may be classified as Non-Combatant NPCs stoking the fires of steam engines.
