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

Cacodemons are extremely dangerous tier-2 demons. They wield a wide variety of debilitating ranged attacks, occasionally mutate the player, and have a powerful, irresistible 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.

History

Prior to 0.10, they were tier-1 demons. They also used to be fairly pathetic, as their energy bolt, slow, and confuse spells all used to be the near-worthless Call Imp.
