A hideously ugly demon of rage and legendary power, it disables its foes before blasting them to pieces. “We’ll call him Cacodemon, with his black Gib there, his Succuba, his Devil’s Seed, his Spawn of Phlegethon, that o’ my Consience was bred o’ the Spume of Cocytus.” -John Fletcher, _The Knight of Malta_. 1647

Useful Info

Although less deadly than the Fiends, cacodemons are still extremely dangerous tier-2 demons. They wield a wide variety of debilitating ranged attacks, not to mention an irresistible, AC-ignoring energy attack. They are found in the Abyss, the Hells, and Pandemonium (particularly in Mnoleg's domain), and can be summoned by certain monsters through the Summon Greater Demon spell.

Tips & Tricks

• An amulet of resist mutation and high magic resistance will protect you from most (but not all) of their attacks; kill them quick to avoid an unlucky Malmutate getting through to you.
