The Demon Realm is home to creatures unlike anything found on the surface. Practitioners call them Daemonium; twisted entities of malice that guard the halls and mines of the endless depths.
They come in many forms, from shambling fodder to towering brutes, and each carries within it fragments of power that a resourceful vitaemancer can harvest.
Threat Assessment
The Daemonium fall into rough tiers of threat:
Fodder: Cruoris, Pestis, Animaris, Rancoris. Individually weak but numerous.
Standard: Voraxis. Stronger, with life-draining attacks.
Elite: Corrodis, Fervidis, Doloris. Dangerous foes with complex attack patterns.
Apex: Ignis, Glaciaris. Boss-tier creatures with devastating abilities.
Spoils of the Damned
Every Daemonium drops Tainted Flesh, an edible but risky food source.
More importantly, each species carries a unique trophy material that serves as a crafting component for powerful items unavailable through any other means.
Spiritus Affinities
Each demon species has a natural Spiritus affinity that determines which type of essence it drops:
Cruoris: Raw/Nihilum
Corrodis: Ruina/Vindicta
Pestis: Ruina/Raw
Voraxis: Nihilum/Ruina
Rancoris: Vindicta/Invictus
Animaris: Invictus/Vindicta
Fervidis: Nihilum/Invictus
Doloris: Vindicta/Nihilum
Ignis: Nihilum/Ruina
