About this Daemon Type...

Among the cruelest daemons, piscodaemons exhibit crustacean, cephalopod, and humanoid features and revel in protracted misery caused by their own hands and the hands of their immediate underlings. Piscodaemons’ poisonous tentacles easily ravage lesser victims, but they prefer to target more powerful enemies first, both as a tactical choice and for the emotional impact when foes see the greatest among them fall. Dwelling primarily in Abaddon’s flooded, swampy, and fully aquatic regions, they often compete with hydrodaemons and frequently lead squads of their lesser cousins. On the Material Plane, their proclivity for violence attracts them to aquatic reaches around settled lands, such as swamps near towns or city sewers. From there, they tempt mortals into their lairs, delighting in massacre after brutal massacre.

Personification of Death: Poison.

Preferred Sacrifice: An armed and armored foe for the daemon to personally tear apart, or to be summoned in proximity to a crucial source of fresh water that it can taint.
