Nycadaemons are the scouts and elite shock troops of Abbadon, performing reconnaissance for their daemonic masters and raining death from above. Personifying death by falling from great heights, nycadaemons delight in snatching victims into the air and letting them fall to their deaths.
Among the most classically fiendish-looking of all daemons, nycadaemons resemble bloated green gargoyles with wings that look almost too small to support their weight, yet bear them through the air at great speed regardless. Nycadaemons are powerfully muscled and stand nine feet tall or more. They favor great double-headed axes in combat, though other heavy two-handed weapons are not uncommon.
Nycadaemons are generally more loyal than other daemons, if only due to a complacent nature, and tend to stay with a single master for as long as they are treated well. Nycadaemons relish combat, striking hard and fast, but also delight in subterfuge and intimidation. Though only of middling intelligence, they make great use of their magic abilities to strike from invisibility, deceive foes with mirror images, and teleport away after getting in a few good hits. Nycadaemons are common in the armies of all Four Horsemen and many daemonic harbingers, and even sell their services to powerful archdevils, demon lords, and powerful evil mortals.
Nycadaemons are most commonly seen in mountainous areas, including the great mountains of Gladia. They are most common in Senksen, however, where they are sometimes conjured to assist in military operations.
