List of demonspawn

Version 0.29: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This page is about the various demonspawn monsters. For the player species, see demonspawn.

A half-mortal, half-demonic creature, with its hellish heritage asserting itself through a certain devilish cast to its features.

Demonspawn are the accursed offspring of demons and mortals, seemingly ordinary in youth, but gradually showing more and more of their infernal heritage as they grow. These beings wander the halls of Pandemonium, serving the Pandemonium lords and assaulting anyone foolish enough to invade.

Unlike their demonic brethren, demonspawn lack any guaranteed immunities; poison and torment affect them like they would any mortal being. They have occupations that enhance their deadliness. The sheer variety of demonspawn you can encounter requires you to be ready for a little bit of everything, though they are by no means the most dangerous inhabitants of Pandemonium.

Base Demonspawn

6 Demonspawn - Basic demonspawn whose heritage hasn't come in yet. A somewhat dangerous melee enemy, at least for the Orcish Mines.

Demonspawn Occupations

6 Demonspawn blood saint- Demonspawn that can temporarily bolster their allies and hurl wild blasts of magic at their foes.

6 Demonspawn black sun- Powerful necromancers that enable their allies' attacks to drain various energies from their foes.

6 Demonspawn warmonger- Powerful warriors who can quash enemy spellcasters while hasting their allies.

6 Demonspawn corrupter- Demonspawn that corrode their enemies and call powerful monsters from elsewhere in the dungeon.

Unique Demonspawn

6 Amaemon - A diabolic poisoner with a venomous whip and retinue of toxic friends.

Retired Demonspawn

6 Infernal demonspawn- Fiery demonspawn who infuse their attacks with flames and shrug off your own fire-based attacks.

6 Gelid demonspawn- Icy demonspawn that protect themselves with their icemail and resist cold damage well.

6 Monstrous demonspawn- Bestial demonspawn who throw themselves into combat in a frenzy of claws and horns. They have more durability than their brethren and deal more damage in melee.

6 Torturous demonspawn- Spine-covered demonspawn who wound those who attack them and grow stronger as they take damage.

6 Putrid demonspawn- Foul-smelling demonspawn that drew strength from the corpses of the fallen; they were nearly immune to poison.

6 Chaos champion- Unpredictable combatants that smote opponents with chaos and could shuffle the positions of all creatures nearby.
