ABOUT

Standing more than six feet tall, alu demons have dark flowing hair from which tiny horns protrude. They have faintly snake-like skin that runs the gamut of human flesh tones. They typically arm themselves and dress in the local attire of the mortals upon whom they prey, favoring armor, swords, and flowing capes that hide their small leathery wings.

Alu demons are the offspring of unions between succubi or incubi and mortals. Born in the chaotic Abyss and raised as servants of the demon lords, these fiendish creatures are not always as truly chaotic, nor evil, as their forebears, though most are. Alu demons typically have dark brown or black hair and brown, dark green, or black eyes. They have the comely, pouting expression of their demonic parent, which allows them to pass freely among the lands of mortals.
