 {{flavour|Makhleb the Destroyer is a fearsome deity of bloodshed and mortification of the flesh. Followers are expected to cleanse others by inflicting suffering and death on them in Makhleb's name. Dedicated followers may also access the raw energies and hell-spawned servants of chaos, so that they may better break the impure world and its false laws for their evil god's glory.

 Infernal Servants can be great allies, especially in numbers. Multiple demons are enough to take out threatening enemies, such as [[hydra]]s, in the mid-game. As your Invocations skill increases, you will start to get tier-2 demons, which are strong whether on their own or in groups. But, like with many things in Crawl, it's best to summon your demonic allies ''before'' engaging a tough enemy. If you're already in danger, summoning a hostile demon probably won't help.
-The healing is particularly appreciated by [[Ghoul]]s and bloodless [[Vampire]]s, who have issues healing normally, and [[Djinn]], who use HP to cast their spells. You should not rely entirely on this healing, but it can help you sustain a bit longer during a fight.

 Unfortunately, Makhleb doesn't offer great panic buttons. If you're already at low HP, this god won't help much. Also, in order for Makhleb's abilities to be reliable, you'll need a fair bit of Invocations skill.
