Abyssal scavenger

❌

Abyssal scavengers or abyssal skulkers were demons viewed as vermin on their native plane. If allowed to infest the Material Plane, as a result of the mote of raw Abyssal essence each carried, a tight enough concentration of skulkers would collapse into a demongate, allowing other, potentially stronger demons, to come into the world.

Description
Abyssal scavengers resembled hairless apes, habitually creeping quadrupedally and keeping their bodies close to the ground but capable of walking upright if desired. They had large hands and feet and knobs of horn running along the crown of their heads and then down the spine.

Personality
Though small and servile, skulkers were also mean and vicious, with unending hunger and the innate demonic desire to destroy.

Abilities
The abyssal scavengers fought primarily using their claws, but they were also noted as having a particular shriek they sometimes employed in battle.

Combat
Abyssal scavengers fought primarily in packs. They relied on sheer numbers to overwhelm their opponents in battle.
