Beast

Return to Demonic Compendium

General Information

Beasts in general are strong physical fighters that are fairly good at taking and keeping aggro, and generally have a reasonable array of combat choices. There are many kinds of beasts, and each have their own unique properties that can make them a good choice for any character build, but generally a beast type is among the best choices for a caster to take. This is mostly due to the fact that beasts are generally close fighters, with good speed and fairly strong defenses.

Main article: Inugami

Dogs of Japanese legend who possess human bodies. When a person is possessed by an Inugami, he feels pain in his chest, hands, and feet and begins to bark like a dog. People with strong or unstable emotions are thought to be particularly susceptible to being possessed. Inugami are said to originate from the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku. They were sometimes used as objects by Japanese diviners. Since Inugami will not leave a family once they possess it, it was once customary when arranging marriages to check whether the family had an Inugami.
