Paeliryon

❌

Paeliryons also known as corruption devils were grotesque and cunning denizens of the Nine Hells that were adept at blackmailing mortals into selling their souls. Their ability to obtain mortal souls, often very cheaply, went hand-in-hand with their role as infernal spymasters.

Description
Paeliryons were tall perversions of the female form whose  corpulence could be attributed to the incredibly distended bellies that hung below their waists. Their faces were heavily coated in courtesan's makeup, with blue eyeshadow applied to their yellow, porcine eyes and red-painted lips that outlined their fang-filled maws. The black robes they often wore contrasted with their pink, warty skin and did little to contain the billowing stench of their perfume. Their fearsome, extendable nails could double in length in an instant, easily reaching in length.

Among their more overtly monstrous traits were the two ridges of bone that ran along the back of their broad heads, and the two bat-wings that allowed them to fly, if clumsily. Strangely, the most powerful of paeliryons were smaller and lacked the ability to fly.

Society
This devil fell right under the pit fiend in the infernal promotion path. Their political reach stretched across the planes.
