☠ Vrelp Phiad, Hounds of Despair ☠
Sphere: Infernal
Rank: Minor
Length of Contract: Seasonal
Disposition: These hounds are known to enjoy watching their prey lament and wail in despair. The Vrelp Phiad are socially aggressive summons, always prowling about their summoner's surroundings. They like to lurk or stalk their summoner, observantly watching the movements and mannerisms of those around them. Communicating with them is rather simple, as they are akin to actual dogs. A positive answer comes from their right paw, and the negatives are on their left. It's also of note that they are capable of responding to "yes or no" type of questions, but will often act on given commands from their own judgment.
Abilities:
- Discouraging Smoke: These demons utilize the ability to produce a cloud of smoke from the eerie green flames on their backs as a psychological weapon. In combat, they run around the field while their flames keep producing and releasing smoke. The smoke will form a cloud over the area; the longer the demon has been present or the more hounds there are, the more concentrated this cloud becomes, which speeds up the psychological effects.
In the beginning, the victims within the smoke will start to hear or see things from the corner of their eyes. As time goes on, they will begin to have hallucinations of things that cause them grief, paranoia, or fear. The longer they remain in the smoke they will find their will to continue their endeavor broken. Those with a high will to resist such trickery can push on through, but those who have fragile minds or are susceptible to psychological strain can be affected.
