Aeshma are the demons of rage and anger. An aeshma is sometimes referred to as \"the fiend of the wounding spear.\" Aeshma are thoroughly malign and evil and care little for anything or anyone else. They are actively recruited into the Abyssal armies of the demon lords and princes for their skill and combat prowess. Often an aeshma is given the rank of commander or lieutenant and granted control over a retinue or battalion of lesser demons (usually vrocks or dretches).
The typical aeshma stands 8 feet tall and weighs about 500 pounds. Most aeshma disdain the use of armor, but occasionally don chainmail. Aeshma are very potent fighters and prefer a straight fight to subterfuge. They fight aggressively against any foe, relying on their claws only if they are unarmed. An aeshma's natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
