Daemon, Meladaemon
This foul creature looks like an emaciated humanoid with the head of a jackal.
As personifications of death from starvation and thirst, these withered fiends spend their time destroying resources and spreading hunger. Deacons of the Horseman of Famine, these creatures visit worlds throughout the planes, destroying acres of crops and slaughtering livestock in order to harvest souls for their honored master. Meladaemons delight in the slow death of starvation, going so far as to experiment with various bodily deficiencies and mortal weaknesses. Arrogant and utterly bound to their patron, meladaemons rarely work with others of their kind and never serve any of the other three Horsemen except in the rarest of circumstances. Meladaemons stand approximately 12 feet tall and weigh 350 pounds.

Creatures that do not need to eat are immune to this effect. The save DC is Constitution-based. Disease (Ex) Daemonic wasting: Bite – injury; save Fort DC 23; onset 1 day; frequency 1/day; effect1d4 Constitution and 1d4 Charisma damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based. Hunger (Su) A meladaemon’s claw attack deals an additional 1d6 points of nonlethal damage as it causes sudden pangs of horrific hunger in its foe. Creatures that do not need to eat are immune to this effect. |
