Chain Fiend
Chain Fiend
Simple Monster, XP 1800
Level 9 (+5)
"Run as fast as you can, not that it will do you much good, child. The beast of chains comes to punish those who do not do as they are told. They seek to forever envelop the disobedient, and take them away to their terrible abode."
——Sister Guana, Priestess of the Anointed Light attempting to discipline a curfew violator
The Chain Fiend hails from the infernal plane of metal. In this realm of the lower planes, the lands are shod with iron, steel and unknown, darker alloys. Chain fiend are said to have bonded with the unholy substances that protrude from the terrain, weaving it into their tortured flesh to such a degree that they envelop themselves in wicked spiked chains forevermore. They use this second skin as both armor and weapons, and can even control chains they approach, having linked their foul minds to the darker nature of the stronger metals.
