In a manner similar to a bloodborne pathogen, the spirit form of the Bloody Maiden relies on blood contamination to spread from destroyed body to infected host, but can in fact be shared between two human hosts if the hosts remain in close proximity. After an incubation period, during which the victim’s blood beats slowly hotter and faster, the host’s body bursts in a shower of viscera that reassembles itself into the form of a seven-foot-tall, abhorrent woman, regardless of the host’s original gender. During their immaturity, Bloody Maidens are less cautious and easier to find, and their hemomancy is underdeveloped. With frightening speed, however, the Bloody Maiden grows to maturity, ending up between eight and nine feet tall, sporting complex and layered ‘dresses’, and boasting deadly, destructive hemomancy along with the ability to shift into a mimicry of its original form. To note: a Bloody Maiden’s hemomancy only spreads the demon’s consciousness if its body is destroyed.

They seek out large mammals, including humans, who have lost their way, and possess them as they eat. The Wild One’s host gains physical strength and stamina, despite an emaciated form; its face, whether man or beast, grows a ghastly bonelike mask, as well as any number of antlers. The host also dines exclusively on meat, ever more aggressively and voraciously. If killed, a Wild One remains trapped in its host’s dead body, and with an insidious and foul magic keeps it fresh and unnaturally appetizing should any mammal happen its way.

Deprived of sentience, these demons are slaves to two basic desires: eat to live, and live to take. They lust after anything of value, collecting it and carrying it on themselves. Not much stronger than the average adult, they can attack with sudden viciousness but lack stamina. Working in small groups, Looter Demons attempt to gang up on potential foes, unwittingly covering for one another’s weaknesses by preventing an enemy from taking advantage of them.

Unlike ghouls, revenants ‘revive’ their host bodies and sustain them in a lifelike state, though it is not difficult to tell when looking at one that something’s off. As a tradeoff for this indefinite revival process, the revenant is governed by a semblance of the host’s mind in life, though singlemindedly driven toward revenge. Revenants are more attracted to the bodies of those with tragic deaths, and after reanimating, tirelessly pursue those judged responsible to claim their own lives. The longer a revenant’s mission goes unfulfilled, the more warped the corpse becomes, until finally the revenant starts choosing targets indiscriminately. Should a revenant kill its target, the host body disintegrates and the revenant spirit is set free.

They prefer to level homes, towns, and all that humans hold dear rather than attack humans themselves. Though mighty and hearty, they are by no means quick, and easy prey for an adept demon slayer. [url=http://orig07.deviantart.net/2fef/f/2012/038/3/2/nightgaunt_by_eclectixx-d4p0qyy.jpg]Nightgaunt:[/url] Type 4 demons known to legends as Blackhearts, Evil Within, and Stalkers. Though more common than other type 4s, Nightgaunts provide an exception to the usual process that characterizes their dreadful kind. Existing as spirits in the form of noxious miasma, Nightgaunts enter a host that inhales the poisonous smog. Once inside a host, the process begins. The demon begins to form, full-size, inside the host’s body, becoming a dark shell around their skeletal system that slowly expands until the host is merely a human shell surrounding a demonic interior. Depending on the rate of growth, the Nightgaunt’s wings, tail, and horns may sprout through the shell and give away the infestation, leading those afflicted to seek spots of darkness and solitude. When the time comes, the human shell throws itself to its death, and from the lifeless corpse the demon within arises. Once killed, a Nightgaunt gradually reverts to a mobile miasma if its body is not disposed of. Fast, stealthy, and exhibiting lethal claws, Nightgaunts are deadly ambush predators, though what they do with their kills may never be known.

Armed with clubs and bows, they form crude tribes with which to both send raiding parties into helpless villages and perform demonic rights with which to bring things even more despicable into the world. They come in both male and female varieties, with each being slightly larger than their respective human. True intelligence eludes them, however. [url= http://pre14.deviantart.net/927c/th/pre/i/2014/181/2/9/the_ancient_monster_by_fangwangllin-d7op3gj.jpg]Finned Bloat[/url] As type 4 demons go, Bloats are a particularly formidable yet brutish variety. As spirits, they haunt dwellings they choose of their own accord, and frighten away trespassers, leading some to believe them to be benevolent. After a time, however, they select a woman among the dwelling’s inhabitants and possess her in her sleep, most often a wife or lover laying with her partner to disguise what comes next. Over the next few weeks, the woman becomes more and more obviously pregnant, as well as eating easily three times as much as normal. If there isn’t a steady supply of food available in any way, the woman in question will be possessed of a manic strength and resort to cannibalism of anyone she can find. Once the woman becomes so engorged that she can no longer move, the Finned Bloat emerges. Powerful and moronic creatures, the Bloats quickly swell to maturity themselves, thereafter deeming the dwelling in which it emerged its ‘home’ and protecting it at all costs. If killed after reaching full maturity, the de-powered flees many miles away, taking potential years to regenerate before it can seek another dwelling.
