Devil, Drudge Devil

You come across a dozen or so little creatures resembling black devils, which growl and snap as they advance towards you. They do not seem to be that dangerous, except for their disproportionately huge claws and mouths.

Drudge devils are base thugs, sent to carry out common tasks all around the lower planes. They are usually organised into press gangs or workgroups (called one or the other depending on their current job). They look like small, thin, entirely black humanoids with horned heads and fiendish features. Their large claws and teeth are remarkably out of proportion with the rest of their bodies.

Drudge devils speak Infernal.
