Beast Walker
In the infernal realms of the 13 planes of hell, a peculiar breed of demons known as Beast Walkers emerges from a macabre ritual of consumption. These entities trace their origins to the insatiable appetites of Imp demons, notorious for their cunning and depravity. The unholy transformation unfolds when an Imp feasts upon the flesh of a creature that has succumbed to the depths of the hells. As the demonic morsel is devoured, the Imp undergoes a grotesque metamorphosis, absorbing the essence and form of its fallen prey.
The resulting manifestation is the fearsome and shape-shifting Beast Walker, a demonic entity with an exterior mirroring the creature devoured by the Imp. The variety of Beast Walker forms is as diverse as the torments within the 13 planes of hell. Fire-kissed demons may bear the likeness of infernal dragons, while those spawned from the planes of shadow might embody the grotesque forms of nightmarish beasts. Each Beast Walker, an amalgamation of demonic malevolence and consumed essence, becomes a testament to the twisted ecology of the infernal realms, forever altering their appearance to mirror the unholy feast that birthed them.
