Other Alu-Demons will base their names on the Abyssal root words for evil or immoral concepts. Alu-Demons traveling alone in the Abyss tend to naturally gravitate towards a Layer holding their own kind.Īlu-Demons are often proud of their heritage and will name themselves either partially or entirely after other demon species. They tend to stick close to parents, either in cooperation or in service. In the Abyss, however, Alu-Demons fit in quite well with the savage nature of the realm. Pure Alu-Demon communities are few and lacking in structural economies, although they can exist. If too outlandish appearing, or if the natives are superstitious enough, they can be exiled. On the mortal planes, Alu-Demons tend to integrate with already established communities in which their parents live. Adventuring teams may find them difficult to work with unless they maintain sufficient bribes in the form of treasure and promises of future slaughters. While an Alu-Demon will happily annihilate a team of Orcs attacking the village, the difficulty is in stopping the Alu-Demon from annihilating the village, too.

Alu-Demons are bipedal and roughly humanoid in appearance. While most physical characteristics differ between Alu-Demons depending on the nature of their demonic lineage, all share a few basic traits. Distrust against these beings usually serves as a means of self-preservation for most people, rather than prejudice.
