Glabrezu

A Glabrezu was a variety of type III Demon that enjoyed corrupting mortals, representing the ultimate mortal desire for power.

Description
A Glabrezu had an imposing, vaguely humanoid, form with four arms, two of a muscular humanoid variety, and two enormous pincers. Its feet were saurian in nature, scaly with three clawed toes. Its shoulders bore natural armour plating, covered in spikes, while its horned head resembled that of a dog. Extremely intelligent creatures, Glabrezus were manipulative and, despite their powerful forms, preferred to engage in the more subtle forms of corruption, including demonic possession, which they especially enjoyed. Of course, if their trickery failed, they were dangerous enough to defeat large groups of mortals in combat. Like all demons, a Glabrezu killed on a plane other than The Abyss would simply reform there, although if they were killed in The Abyss, they were permanently destroyed.

History
At some point in the 1370s, a Glabrezu possessed Enesstrere, an Ancient Blue Dragon, forcing the dragon to destroy a desert monastery.

Glabrezus could often be found in servitude to Scrix, who was amused by their cruel and manipulative nature.

A Glabrezu and a Hezrou were summoned by Blackthorne to his Tower outside of Heraldur in 1453. When the tower fell under attack by a group of students from the Royal Green Dragon Academy. The Glabrezu clashed with Grog while the Hezrou pursued Xendon, although both demons were banished back to The Abyss by Karmiir Metalmace before they could defeat their respective adversaries.

In 1454, a Glabrezu was dispatched by Torlor Dathrak to defend his castle, fighting alongside the Cult of Scrix. The Glabrezu slew several of the dwarf soldiers who were attacking the castle, but it was ultimately killed by James and Ann.
