1 Darksiders Bestiary Angels Angel Traits, All Angels have the following traits: Ageis of the White City: All angels regardless of hit die have an invincible defense against non-magical attacks. Words of the Creator: All angels are bound to at least one Word and can spend effort on miracles or gifts related to that word. Angel Soldier AC: -5 Move: 100 flight Hit Dice: Attack: +10 x 3 attacks Damage: 1d8+4 Angelic Lance Morale: 12 Effort: 4 Angel Soldiers are airborne soldiers of light, armed with a halberd-alike melee weapon that doubles as a ranged weapon - Angelic Lance. Like all other Hellguard forces they wear a light dark-golden armor that appears to be made with advanced technology. As Angels, they fight for Heaven against the Demonic legions and stand in the front line against Destroyer's army. These Angel Soldiers appear to be quite noble, as they are referred to as great and honorable warriors, and as The Charred Council states "might they be Lords of Heaven...", indicating that they consider them to be highranking figures. They now fight under the command of Uriel, since Abaddon died. They harbor a deep hatred of War, as they see him as the responsible for the early Apocalypse and Abaddon's death. The remaining Hellguard forces are incapable of returning to Heaven until the Balance, that was lost due to the Apocalypse, is restored. Since Mankind has been obliterated by Demonic forces, the Light Angels along with all of the Hellguard are apparently trapped forever on Earth, never to return to the White City. They may take two actions every round. Typically bound to the Bow Word. Angel Champion AC: -7 Move: 90 flight Hit Dice: Attack: +10 x 3 attacks Damage: 2d6+4 Angel Sword Morale: 12 Effort: 4 Angelic Champions are Large Angelic warriors wielding a huge shield along with a sword made of energy, these holy hulking juggernauts are far stronger than their normal soldier counterparts. Their wings are gold rather than blue in order to show their rank in the celestial hierarchy. Angel Champions are the some of the strongest type of angel, bested only by Storm Wardens, Archons, and Archangels including Abbadon and Azrael. They may act twice every round. Typically bound to the Sword Word. Strom Warden AC: -10 Move: 150 flight Hit Dice: Attack: +10 x 4 attacks Damage: 3d6+4 Redemption Cannon Morale: 12 Effort: 6

2 Storm Wardens are Heavenly Soldiers which were handselected by Archangels themselves, as they are the elite of the elites in the army of light. These angels carry with them a Redemption Cannon that fires balls of flames against the unfortunate ones that place themselves in the weapon's range. Their armor is different from the rest of the Hellguard, as it is silver with little ornaments in gold, while other angel soldiers' armor is usually gold. They are rather difficult to defeat as they are not only very resilient, but highly mobile. It takes three actions every round. Typically bound to the Endurance Word. Morale: 10 Effort: 5 Ashworms are very large worms that inhabit the Ashlands, burrowing and tunneling underneath the sands. The Ashlands are infested with these creatures, making traversing the ground incredibly dangerous and almost impossible on foot. Typically bound to the Earth word. Ortho (Angelic Beast) Move: 120 flight Hit Dice: Attack: +10 x 3 attacks Damage: 2d6+3 claws/bolts Morale: 11 Effort: 5 The Ortho, also known merely as the Angelic Beast, is a large Griffin type creature used as heavy support by the Angel remnants. It fires energy bolts against its targets to bring them down in addition to capably performing as an air vehicle. They may act twice every round. Typically bound to the Sky Word Demons Demon Traits, all Demons have the following traits: Hellforged resilience: Regardless of hit die all demons have an invincible defense against non-magical attacks. Hellbound Heart: All demons are bound to at least one Word and can spend effort on miracles or gifts related to that word. Abyssal Rider Move: 40 run Hit Dice: Attack: +6 x 2 attacks Damage: 2d6+1 sword The Abyssal Riders, also known as the Dark Riders, are the Destroyer's Cavalry. Beneath their armor, these pitiless horsemen are cracked and pale, their flesh barely able to contain the hellfire that roils within. They can release this energy in sorcerous attacks, or channel it into phantom steeds which shriek with the agony of their riders' tortured souls. Their Horses are disgusting corpses which spout blue flames where they ride. Typically bound to the Sword Word. Ashworm Move: 20 burrow Hit Dice: Attack: +10 x 2 attacks Damage: 3d10+4 bite/slam straight Phantom Horse AC: -4 Move: 90 flight Hit Dice: 6 12+

3 Attack: +6 x 2 attacks Damage: 1d8+3 bite, 2d8+3 hooves Phantom Horses are, as the name implies, horses with a tainted or shadowy appearance. Phantom Horses are commonly seen ridden by Abyssal Riders, and noticeably The Four Horsemen. Typically bound to the Alacrity Word. Broodling Move: 30 climb Hit Dice: 3 Attack: +3 Damage: 1d6 bite Morale: 6 Effort: 1 The Broodling, also called Chain Spiders, are the demonic offspring of Silitha. They appear to be huge spiders, similar to their mother, with huge legs and sharped mouths. Typically bound to the Alacrity Word. Loom Warden Move: 20 climb Hit Dice: 5 Attack: +5 x 3 attacks Damage: 2d6+3 claws, 1d8+3 bite Morale: 11 Effort: 1 They are the guardians of Silitha that must be destroyed along with Broodmother to gain entrance to Silitha's Loom. Typically bound to the Endurance Word. Shadowcaster AC: 0 Move: 30 flight Hit Dice: 9 Attack: +9 x3 attacks Damage: 1d12+5 hellfire blast The Shadowcaster (or merely the Caster in some cases) is a resilient spellcasting demon encountered in the Iron Canopy, and occasionally in the challenges of the Shadow Lurkers. It is known that a journey through the Destroyer's kingdom is one few survive. His servants watch every street, with ears cocked for the slightest sound and eyes open for the slightest movement. And some, like the serpentine Shadowcasters, are impossible to evade. These demons do not rely on sight- they can taste vibrations on their snaking tongues. An errant soft footfall on the powdered ash will drive them to a murderous frenzy. Once their prey is targeted, the Caster's clawed hands knead energy into crackling balls of fire, which explode in all directions. This hell-bred beast will attack until it tastes the sweetest vibration of all- the last shallow beat of a dying heart. Typically bound to the Word.

4 These rare fallen angels saw themselves lured to a path of darkness by appealing promises made by Hell. They are opportunistic hunters, prowling the skies over destroyed cities, perhaps looking for people to punish or angels to kill. They look somewhat similar to a Grappleclaw, but much larger in body and wings. Fallen look like giant twisted creatures with hardly, if any, resemblance to their former selves. They are usually driven by and insatiable bloodlust, and are stronger even than the Trauma beast. Their incredible endurance, strong attacks and maneuverability make them a difficult opponent to defeat. Rare creatures, they can be encountered during the Apocalypse. The Fallen that can be fought is on the Angelic Beast while War makes his way through the Echo Gorge towards Twilight Cathedral. Duskwing Move: 40 flight Hit Dice: Attack: +4 Damage: 1d8+2 bite Morale: 11 Effort: 1 Duskwings, sometimes called Duskbats, are fairly weak enemies which have the appearance of a bat and are most commonly found in the Twilight Cathedral as well as the Choking Grounds. There is also a fiery variant, found in Echo Gorge and the Twilight Cathedral which can shoot fireballs. Gholen AC: 0 Move: 30 Hit Dice: Attack: +10 x2 attacks Damage: 1d12+1 Gholens are massive and durable Demons whose hands erupt with fire. They are extremely resilient to attacks that would normally kill other demons and are very dangerous when dealt with. There is nothing subtle about the massive Gholens. The very ground trembles under their monstrous weight. Each hand is impossibly hard and smolders with fire that cannot be quenched. Gholens shake off blows that would fell trees, and crush skulls as if they were clay. Fallen AC: -2 Move: 50 flight Hit Dice: Attack: +10 x 2 attacks Damage: 2d6+4 claws/tail

5 Minion Move: 40 run Hit Dice: Attack: +7 Damage: 2d6+2 claws The minions are the destroyer's hounds, pack hunters that scour the wastelands for prey. Their misshapen masses of heads, torsos and limbs are fused into a hideous array.
