Spined devils, known as spinagons to loremasters, are minor devils that serve as messengers and spies. They are among the weakest of Hell’s legions and ruthlessly vent their frustrations on their victims.
A spined devil resembles a winged gargoyle covered in long, thorny spikes. Its head splits in a maniacal grin filled with wicked fangs. They often carry ranseurs, tridents, or other forked weapons. Spinagons cackle madly to themselves when not engaged in stealth, and their raucous laughter annoys even other devils.
Spined devils serve as messengers on missions deemed too important for imps, and they also commonly find employ as spies and saboteurs. Though not especially intelligent, they carry out their orders with diligence. Spinagons favor urban environments, especially Hell’s capital city of Dis, where they easily blend into the nightmarish architecture. When not on duty, spined devils pass their time by torturing lemures, nupperibos, and the souls of the damned.
Spined devils are associated with the faithful of Vellarn, who use them as assassins or spies. They usually signal their work with a single spine through the heart.
