Lust Demon
You call them Iron Demons, and their children Sulphide Demons. Why would you not call us Cobalt Demons? ---- "Because you entered our realm and showed us our desires"
Often the leaders and the generals of the demon communities within Infernus and beyond, they are quick to find and promote their prestige within their communities. While all demons feel heightened emotions, iron demons tend to fear and aggression, while lust demons tend to desire and dreams, often inspiring action in those they find community with.
Unlike Iron demons, the Lust demons are not of uniform outer looks, the cobalt mixing with the genomes in their DNA to mutate them towards their perfect view of themselves. This does not discount dysmorphia from the mind of a lust demon, but tends to accompany a disconnect with demonhood as a whole at that point.Basic Information
Ecology and Habitats
Unlike the Iron Demons, the Lust ones are less resistant to fire, but do better in the wetter and more saline conditions of the other realms. In Infernus they tend to build their habitats - mansions and keeps - in higher elevation where they can survey those they lord (or lady) over.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Like Iron demons they feed off minerals and meat, though they side more meat than metals. While they can go herbivorous, they can no sustain such a diet, and they will soon get anemic under such a choice.
Additional Information
Average Intelligence
Above average intelligence, below average impulse control.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Lust demons are natural telepaths, the range of their connection spanning about a hundred metres. Lord Xylos was able to coat a city in his power, but he had been trapped so long within a pocket dimension inside the well of possibility and so his ability was heightened.
Like all demons, lust demons subvocalize when they speak, providing the context to their words as a second involuntary layer of audio. Lust demons find it easier to 'hold their breath' on this ability, but like deep sea diving, this requires training.
