Embodiments of death at the fangs and claws of wild
beasts, canodaemons are single-minded hunters who live to feast on fresh
meat. They are the wolves of Abaddon, just as likely to hunt in packs
like animals or serve as scouts and skirmishers in the armies of the
Four Horsemen.
A canodaemon resembles a hulking humanoid shape
twisted into a canine quadruped, four feet tall at the shoulder and six
from head to rump. Metal plates grow from its hide like armor. A
canodaemon’s head is an eyeless stump split into a four-jawed mouth with
a huge, lashing spiked tongue that secretes paralytic slime.
Canodaemons
use their tongues to paralyze and subdue prey, either to devour them
alive or so their daemonic masters may capture and torture them further.
In Abbadon’s wilds they hunt in packs, terrorizing the souls of the
forsaken and the few weaker daemons they come across. Though barely
sentient, canodaemons take to training well and can be found serving
more intelligent daemons as trackers, heavy infantry, bodyguards,
guardians, or mounts.
