ABOUT

Skitterdarks are minor demons in the grand scheme of demons, but demons nonetheless. Like their larger ilk, they delight in bloodshed and sowing chaos. Most often, they are summoned to the world by wizards to carry out minor assassinations, protect items, and harass foes. Easily bored, skitterdarks can be distracted by shiny things, fresh prey, and logical thought.
