Runespiral demons, also called spiraliths,[2] were a species of small demon with thick shells that were carved with runes that channeled Abyssal energies. They typically circled the peripheries of fights, drawing on their magical blasts to attack enemies. Relatively unintelligent, they were often conscripted by other demons with a mixture of threats and promises of carnage.[1]
Runespiral demons who specifically channeled lightning energy were often called arctide runespiral demons or arctide spiraliths and were larger and more intelligent than their more common kin. Other forms, channeling other energies, were also known; such forms could be differentiated by the patterns of runes on their shells.[1][2]
History[]
In the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR, a group of conjurers were tracking down Corvus Nightfeather in Almraiven on behalf of the city's leader, Acham el Jhotos. After they felt that their spectral hounds had caught his scent near the city docks, they summoned a chain of runespiral demons to go after him. While they judged the risk to their lives acceptable, they ultimately ended up losing their lives to the demons as they converged upon a ruined warehouse.[3]
