Hobgoblins


Hobgoblins originated in European folklore as household spirits (which probably evolved from a form of ancient ancestor worship,) and played a similar role to goblins, brownies, pixies, etc. They were generally not seen as "evil," but would play tricks if not given the proper respect.

In modern fantasy fiction, Hobgoblins are a larger, stronger, brutish form of goblin. They are usually a greenish color, have features of various animals (claws, pig noses, etc.) and are mostly beholden to some figure of greater evil.

Once animated the Blood Idol will follow it's initial instructions to the letter, and will not stop until all of the offending party are destroyed.

Frankenstien's Monster

The ghoulishly strong monster created by a mad scientist in 1818, the Frankenstien's monster was never given a name in the official narrative. The creature is not described much beyond being large, ugly, and ogreish. The process by which he is created is not described in detail either, although it is hinted that various raw materials (including body parts) are included. Much of what has become the modern version of the monster (i.e. the flat head, prominent brow ridge, bolts in the neck, zombie-like locomotion, largely inarticulate groaning, green skin, etc) comes from the 1931 Universal film.

Such harvests leave the Soul Maggots debilitated and in pain, until the harvested regions grow back and the cycle begins anew.

Twisted Ones


The Twisted Ones are a clan of imps which have escaped from servitude and have gone "wild." Thousands of years in Hell's oppressive wilderness have warped these creatures into mindless eating machines, which other demons consider little more than vermin. While the development and population of normal Imps are held in check by more powerful demons, these Imps have no such constraints. Every once in a while the conditions will be just right, and the Twisted Ones will suddenly multiply by the millions and swarm over Hell's cities. During such times the multiple factions which are constantly warring for control of Hell will bring a momentary truce to the conflict to suppress the Twisted Ones and exterminate them.

The essence of a horned lizard was combined with several other slimy things to produce the first of these horrid monstrosities. The first Octaballs were small and harmless, but as they fed they eventually grew and became quite dangerous. Although an extensive campaign was waged to eliminate these aberrations, sporadic reports of the creature still surface in deep caverns or forgotten dungeons.

QuasiRipper

The QuasiRippers are a race of predatory aliens from another dimension. Due to a scientific experiment gone awry on their side, a large number of them have become trapped inbetween dimensions. Because of this unique quantum state of being, they are not held bound by the laws of physics, and are capable of extraordinary feats - such as walking through walls, disappearing, floating through the air, etc. This unique quantum state also makes them invulnerable to normal weaponry, although electricity and several forms of radiation can disrupt their molecular cohesion.

They are also able to maintain separate conversations with multiple partners at once, although it is possible to get the undivided attention of all of the "mouths."

The ears are no longer merely instruments for hearing, but have evolved into strange, cone-like protuberances that secrete an odorous funk, used to mark territory and as a defensive measure.
