Chain devil

Chain devils, or kytons, were a type of devil.

Description
They wore chains like a cloak. They were humanoid in appearance.

Personality
Sadistic and cruel, chain devils gained great pleasure from inflicting pain on mortal souls, often torturing lemures, who contained mortal souls within.

Society
Chain devils were the jailers of the Nine Hells.

Combat
A chain devil's infernal glare could drive enemies into madness and terror. Their chain shrouds acted as weapons, by flinging their hooks and blades at opponents. They relished fear, so they would slowly hunt their victims, stalking them for long periods of time before finally attacking. The signature attack of a chain devil was called Dancing Chain. This attack involved the chained devil commanding up to four chains in a 20 foot (6 meter) radius. They could manipulate these chains so they grew sharp barbs and grew longer.
