Beasts are the lower forms of life in Hell. They are the naturally occurring fauna of the Underworld, made evil by their surroundings and their masters. True Demons see them as fodder to subjugate, abuse, brand, armor and train for battle. Beasts are unintelligent and commonly oriented towards melee combat, attacking with fangs and claws. While susceptible to most types of damage, Beasts of greater power and age can be extremely large and strong, a few reportedly towering over city buildings. Some of these creatures also employ attacks representative of their infernal origins, unleashing corrosive, poisonous or fiery effects on their unlucky targets. In terms of natural defenses, the more brutish varieties have thick, armored hides while their smaller, wiry kin rely on their agility to avoid attacks.

 Carnagor
If a rhinoceros were cross-bred with an elephant and a bull, it would be eaten alive by the Carnagor. This heavily-muscled monster has an incredibly thick hide, huge tusks, hundreds of razor-sharp teeth and jagged spines jutting up from its back. It is a ravenous creature, driven by an insatiable need for fresh meat. The Carnagor is not subtle in its movements, charging and goring its prey whenever possible. It also gnashes and slashes with its tusks and teeth, making it extremely deadly to fight head on.
The Carnagor is also a subterranean creature, its powerful hands capable of digging through bedrock. It uses this ability to both move unseen just below the surface of the streets of London, as well as to occasionally escape the rare adversary that can actually pose a threat.

Fetid Hulk
Standing over twelve feet in height, the Fetid Hulk walks upright on two legs, their long and muscled arms providing some support as they move. This is rarely seen, however, as they are usually encountered while thundering down blows with gigantic, club-like fists, pummeling their foes into pulp. Although impressive in size, strength and stamina, they are somewhat sluggish and are certainly far from intelligent. Tactics and distance are an adventurer's two best weapons when fighting these demons.
Special note should be made of the large, glowing sac just below the mouth of the Fetid Hulk. This contains a particularly virulent toxin that is released when the beast feels it is in extreme danger. Should this occur, take every possible precaution to avoid long-term effects.

Ravager
Measuring six to ten feet in length from spike-tipped tail to fang-filled head, these muscular and surprisingly agile demons make up for their lack of intelligence with pure aggressiveness. The common mode of attack for the Ravager is to circle their prey and then coil, tense their powerful hind quarters, and leap forward, teeth bared. Fortunately for the attentive adventurer, they emit a low, barking sound a few moments before attacking, making their vicious assault avoidable for the more fleet of foot.

Stalker
Stalkers are small, wiry imps with jagged, razor-edged claws protruding from their oversized forearms and backs. These are used for both assault and defense against their enemies. Stalkers are fast, nimble and extremely deadly, using surprise and elevation to great advantage.
Although they are physically the weakest of the beasts, Stalkers attack with abandon. They prefer to spew balls of fire from a distance whenever possible, making their hit-and-run tactics all the more effective.
