Description:

Adds new unique demons to the pool of generated ones, each with their own gimmick meant to add some spice to the randomized creatures. They are called devils instead of demons to differentiate them from their generated counterparts

The difficulty level of these creatures varies. Some are easier than vanilla generated demons, others can be much harder. That said, they have the same tendency as any other df creature to die during world generation, exacerbated by some of their most dangerous abilities only working in fortress mode. If you want to see them, I recommend playing in a young world where there’s less chances for them to be killed by a roc, an elephant, or a giant panda.

The odds of meeting these guys in fortress mode are also somewhat low. They are far easier to meet in adventure mode, but I’m releasing them now anyway. Hope you enjoy them.

You may notice that there’s seven of them and the mod is called "Deadly Devils", so you may expect each of them to have a deadly sin associated to them. This was the original plan, but I forgot which was which, and in fact I think I forgot about the theme halfway through making them. So feel free to decide what sin matches what devil.

Here’s a sort description for each of them.

  • Dragon devil: Dragons with gold plated heads that spit miasma and rocks. They are actually less dangerous than a fully grown dragon, but they’re always that size.
  • Insectoid devil: Big bugs with weakening poisons. Simple but deadly.
  • Molten devil: Humanoids made of near melting steel that sweat fire. Perhaps the most dangerous of the bunch despite their relative simplicity, just because of their material.
  • Weaver devil: Strange looking centaurs with too many legs. They emit sleep inducing webs. They’re very good at weaving.
  • Jeweler devil: Weaker than other demons, they compensate by summoning elemental gems to attack their foes. They can also bring back the dead as gem monsters.
  • Frozen devil: Monsters made of ice that can regrow themselves. And if the liquids inside their body hit you, you can easily freeze to death.
  • Proud devil: Large humanoids with ten wings and somewhat excessive magical powers. They can be either male or female so there’s a chance two of them meet and have children, making the world a much more dangerous place. They are also made of tough materials, so they may be the mightiest of the bunch.
