A hideous skeletal demon. It swoops through the air on powerful wings of ancient withered skin, taking sadistic joy from harrying those who would try to flee its grasp.

Useful Info

Hellwings are pesky tier-4 demons with average melee combat skills and decent regeneration. They can make swooping attacks in range-4: when swooping, they land on the opposite side of a target, and instantly make a melee attack. They are found in the Abyss and Pandemonium, and are often summoned by other monsters through the Summon Demon spell.

Tips & Tricks

  • Unless you find a hellwing particularly early (mid-Dungeon, Lair), they usually don't pose much of a melee threat. The bigger threat is the hellwing appearing from behind, blocking your escape path.
