Mane

From Forgotten Realms Wiki

Elemental humanoid (demon)
Mane
Type	Elemental humanoid (demon)
Subtype	Tanar'ri
Location	The Abyss

Manes are the lowest type of demon in the Abyss made from the souls of chaotic evil individuals. They are the weakest kind of chaotic evil spirits and largely mindless and have no magical abilities. They act more like wild beasts than anything else.

[edit] Appearance

Manes are 3-foot tall humanoids with pale, bloated flesh riddled with maggots. Their white eyes show no sign of sentience, but their claws and jagged teeth betray their feral nature.

[edit] Language

Manes cannot speak but can understand simple concepts spoken in any language (as a side effect of their limited use of tanar'ri telepathy)

[edit] Combat

Manes are largely mindless but devoted to savagery and fury. They obey their masters and throw themselves into battle heedless of danger, but they are slow, stupid, and largely ineffective combatants. As weak as they are, they can overcome foes through sheer numbers. When a Mane dies, it dissolves into a cloud of noxious vapors, harming those nearby.
