History
These monsters have bedeviled late-game characters since very early versions of Crawl. There used to be another type of fiend, however: pit fiends, which were similar to Brimstone Fiends but slower and stronger. They were reworked to become Hell Sentinels, gaining normal speed, even more resilience, and nasty Earth conjurations in addition to Damnation, but they lost their ability to torment.
