ABOUT

This large monkey-like fiend has a horned skull with glowing green eyes.

These devil apes take great joy in chasing instead of being chased. They enjoy the thrill of the chase and pursuit of prey, gleefully running down foes they have been tasked with retrieving. Few devil apes let their prey live, as they are often so caught up in the hunt that they can’t help themselves.
