Farastu

Farastus were the most common and lowes ranking of the demodands.

Description
A farastu was about 7ft. high but far bigger specimen existed, too. Its body long limbs, an oblong head and constantly oozed a black, thick tar-like substance, that trickled down to the ground. The adhesive slime made it easy for the farastu to climb. A farastu could stop the secretion of this flammable substance whenever it wanted and it took about 10 minutes renew the coating. The substance lost its adhesiveness after 1 minute of the farastu's death.

Personality
A farastu's primary personality trait was its cruelty and arrogance against creatures who weren't kelubers or shators, higher ranking demondands.

Like every other kind of demodand, they thought of themselves as the jailors and wardens of the entire population of Carceri and forced their idea of order onto them and they made no distinction between creatures like petitioners, who belonged in the Tarterian Depths, and others like travellers. They thought everybody on Carceri was their charge to be watched and even went as far as pursuing those who escaped from the Red Prison.

Their cruelty showed itself in their behaviour towards their charges. They were the lowest ranking of the demodands and pushed others with threats of violence around, when they weren't around their superiors. Despite being the self-appointed wardens, they actually wanted their charges to try to escape because it allowed them a chance to vent their frustrations about their low rank in their society on the potential escapee.

Combat
A farasut had sharp claws and a mouth filled with teeth, that it used to bite its enemies.

Physical abilities
As mentioned above, a farastu's body secreted a tar-like substance. This substance was very adhesive and if someone hit the farastu with a weapon, chances were that the weapon remained stuck on the farastu. Farastus used their adhesive coating also in offensive fashion. It allowed them to easily disarm and subdue their enemies in a grapple. Farastu often used the weapons against their owners when those got stuck onto their bodies.

Another ability they owned was the one to rage like a barbarian. It made them physically more stronger, durable and mentally stronger made their attempt to subdue enemies stronger.

It was hard to hide or approach a farastu because they had acute senses of scent, that allowed them to detect such foes.

A farastu was also completely immune to poison and acid as well protection against fire, non-magical physical attacks and strong defences against magic.

Magical abilities
Farastus could cast detect magic, clairaudience/clairvoyance, fear, invisibility and tongues as often as they wanted, fog cloud and ray of enfeeblement three times per day and dispel magic twice per day.

Another magical ability they owned was the ability to summon one to four farastus once per day, though this had only a 30% chance of success.

Society
Farasutus were the lowest ranking but also the most numerous of the demodands, the (self-appointed) wardens of the Red Prison. They were tasked with menial labour by the kelubers and shators.

There were a number of reasons, why one could be foud on other planes like Toril. One was as bounty hunters to bring back escapees from Carceri.

They were servants of Vhaeraun, a drow god from Carceri and were send by him to the Toril

Farastus could be summoned by using a summon monster IX spell.

History
Farastus were somehow responsible for the imprisonment of the entire demodand race on Carceri from another plane, something that bought them the loathing of the kelubers and shators.

They were also found on the Supreme Throne, though what this race of neutral evil fiends were doing on a strongly chaotic plane like the Supreme Throne was unknown.
