Gorlash, the Cursed Flame Solitary, Intelligent, Terrifying Spiky Skull Maul (w[2d10+4] damage 2 piercing) 16 HP 1 armor Close, Forceful, Ignores Armor, Near Special Qualities: Unyielding Rage, Relentless Pursuit Gorlash was once a fierce and respected orc warrior, known for his strength and ferocity in battle. However, in his last great conflict, he was grievously wounded—deafened by a brutal blow to the head and left with only one eye after a vicious strike from an enemy's fire magic. Humiliated and burning with rage, Gorlash sought revenge at any cost. He turned to the shaman of his tribe, offering his very soul in exchange for power. Now, he roams the battlefield as a vengeful spirit encased in flesh, driven by an unquenchable thirst for revenge. Instinct: To seek and destroy those who wronged him.
- To exact his revenge on those who wronged him and to fulfill the dark pact with his shaman, no matter the cost.
- Cursed Flesh: Gorlash's wounds no longer bleed, and his body is numb to pain. He is immune to fear, poison, and all forms of Fire manipulation.
- Soulbound: Gorlash's pact with the shaman has bound his soul to his body, making his soul resistant to death. He can only be truly killed if his cursed body being destroyed and when his soul is released also be destoryed, which requires a powerful magical blow on his soul or the destruction of the shaman who holds his soul.
- Soulbound Strength: Gorlash's pact with the shaman grants him unnatural strength. He can perform feats of brute force that defy his injuries, such as shattering shields, breaking bones with a single strike, or tearing through heavy armor.

Its true form is an amorphous mass of dark, pulsating flesh and viscous blood, but it rarely reveals this hideous shape.

Instinct: To corrupt and control through blood.
- To spread its influence through blood and manipulate others to do its bidding, ultimately causing chaos and suffering.

- Bloodbending: The Blood Demon can manipulate blood within a living creature's body, causing intense pain, controlling their movements, or even forcing them to act against their will.
- Blood Pact: Anyone who offers their blood to the Blood Demon falls under its control. This control is subtle and insidious, allowing the demon to influence the victim's thoughts, decisions, and even memories over time.
- Shapeshifting: The Blood Demon can change its form at will, adopting the appearance of any creature it has tasted the blood of. It uses this ability to trick and deceive, often appearing as a trusted friend or a figure of authority.
- Regeneration: The Blood Demon heals rapidly by absorbing blood, regenerating 1d4 HP each time it draws blood from a living creature.
- Demon's Guile: The Blood Demon is nearly impossible to deceive or outwit, having eons of experience in trickery. Attempts to lie or manipulate the demon are doomed to fail unless backed by overwhelming evidence or magic.
