Fiction:The Firmament/Sanguinar

Sanguinars, or blood fiends, are a type of demon who prowl the dark reaches of Irkalla and have a strong association with blood and gore.

Appearance
Sanguinars are humanoid creatures with large heads, four black eyes, reptilian snouts and horns, with hands and feet ending in large black claws and a small pair of leathered wings. Their hide is crimson, smooth and moist, resembling raw flesh. Older Sanguinars are larger in size and tend to equip themselves in demonic armor.

Ecology
Sanguinars congregate around Sanguine Hill, as most pledge their allegiance to the demon lord Analuhati. This has led to theories that the Lord of Bats is an ascended Sanguinar who achieved divinity.

Society
Sanguinars are aggressive creatures, fond of tormenting their enemies and torturing them before killing them; their preferred means of doing so is by ripping the flesh from their opponents. They delight in bloodshed above all else, and as such, their presence is often marked by large bloodstains. In Telamon, they tend to be summoned into the service of vampires associated with Analuhati.

Abilities
Lesser Sanguinars primarily attack by striking with their diamond-sharp claws, while older demons use powerful demonic runeswords and blood magic which tears their victims inside out. Sanguinars can heal any wounds they may sustain by splashing the blood from their victims into themselves. As they grow older, they become deceptively intelligent for demons, making them even more dangerous.
