Armanite

❌

Armanites were a form of tanar'ri demon that raced across the blasted fields of the Abyss. They relished destruction.

Description
Armanites looked like undead centaurs with ram or bull horns sticking out from their heads, standing 6 feet (1.8 meters tall at their haunches and 10 feet (3 meters tall) overall. Their hauntingly pale complexions were made more eerie by the way their stomach flesh sagged behind them, with older armanites looking practically gutted. Their tails were long, serrated, and covered in the same stiff bristles and spines that constituted their manes, which protruded out from the gaps in their armor. Curved claws and spiked hooves made them all the more terrifying. All wore full-plate armor that was constructed of demonic chitin and heavier than it might first appear. The black, fluted barding seemed to be more ornamental than utilitarian in purpose.

Some armanite breeds had kangaroo-like lower halves with hands as opposed to front legs, capable of manipulating small items, and weaponry.

History
The first armanites were centaurs that had stumbled upon a portal to the Abyss. After time spent in the realm of demons, they abandoned their proud heritage, taking up lives as abyssal mercenaries and being transformed into demons.

Known Armanites
The demon lord Graz'zt was known to employ a group of eight armanites—four white and four black ones—to draw his carriage.
