Pustulith (Basic Lore)

Pustulith (CR 15)
Chaotic Evil - Medium - Outsider (Demon)
Demons are members of the endless and numberless hordes of the abyss, sowing chaos, misery, terror and destruction with every action they take. While some demons are subtle, their torments only revealed long after encountering them, most are brutishly violent and demonstrate little wit or cunning, except through techniques of aggression. Pustuliths look like an athletic, hairless humanoid who has had the top half of their head cut off. These eyeless monsters are known for their impeccable tracking and are very fast. Their form seems to shimmer with an unreality, allowing them to shunt damage off of their material forms. Their bodies are riddled with angry, swollen pustules with shiny black heads, full of horrific demonic ichor that inflicts terrible agonies and can allow the fiend to control the actions of the afflicted. Even worse, they can dig their pus-slicked fingers into the boils and burst them, revealing yellow-black darts of solidifed corruption they then throw at enemies to vile effect. Pustuliths are telepathic, and eagerly communicate with their chosen prey, using horrible taunts, lovingly whispered insults, and disturbing half-truths to distract, upset and generally rattle their foes. Pustuliths are deadly and smart, and are often used as scouts and raiders to soften up or subvert settlements for the greater designs of their more powerful demonic brethren.
