A List of Minor Demons

 INTRODUCTION

There is a tendency amongst authors to inflate the danger of a story. The Demons in a story must be a large threat, Ghostbusters Gozer, The Exorcists Pazuzu, Ba'al, Asmodeus, Paimon, etc. etc. Yet in reality most of the Demons have better things to do than fuck around with minor players in the great scheme of the world that most ttrpg players are. Down below is a list of 3 Demons to put against a party's self inflated ego.

THE DEMONS

Grunglefuck the Haunter a minor player, if even that. His main claim to fame was haunting a small Neanderthal Village (it was so small it didn't even earn itself a name) for a week with bad dreams.

Urku slept

fitful and frightful

as nightmares abade

Grunglefuck the Haunter

cackled in glee 

as a Neanderthal 

cowered in their dreams

and yet

it would be his last laugh

as shamans breathed

Grunglefuck the Haunter

would no longer be

-A Hymn to Grunglefuck

Hábrók a demon of small corvid size and shape with triple eyes and a mohawk. Able to be summoned and will tell you the weather for the next day for the price of a lock of hair and a bottle of good wine.

A bird yet came

small and delightful

triple eyes gleaming in alcoholic glee

for he knew the weather that yet be

willing to tell

for a price of course

-The Hábrók Tale

Car Pei the Shar Pei a fish dog that lives in the muck of hell. All he wants is cuddles and bits of souls. Willing to hang around as a mediocre guard dog, for a nibble of a soul of course.

On the 3rd day of the 3rd month in a small lake say these words under a lit moon-

Bark Bark

Splash Splash

Bark Bark
