"Scrrraawwwk! Hither they come...into the trees we will take them! This land is precious, so many places to hunt! So many things to taste!"
——Skax, a summoned Vrock
The Vrock are sinister, sadistic, and revolting demons that resemble large horned vultures. They are thickly muscled, yet long and wiry. They are covered in dark green or black matted, moldy feathers infested with spores. The Vrock loves to tear into mortal flesh with its jagged beak and claws, but also has a host of demonic powers that allow it to damage enemies from afar, although it prefers to engage in melee if it sees its opponent is weak. Vrocks are revered by demon-worshippers as heralds of a greater abyssal power and are quite often summoned as agents of a powerful demon prince to help further the cause of chaos and evil. Vrocks that unite in combat are capable of unleashing an unnatural torrent of evil energy through a diabolical dance of perverse hatred. This power is rarely witnessed and survived, so knowledge of this unique ability is almost nonexistent among mortals. A Vrock is about 8 feet tall while hunched over (which is their natural posture) and weighs from 450-600 lbs.
