Strider

Striders are enormous, legendary demons native to Hell. They inhabit the region known as the Plains of Burning Blood, where hot human blood rains constantly from the sky. Striders are monstrous creatures, appearing like immense spiders with human arms instead of spider legs and broken, dead faces. They wander the Plains eternally, occasionally snatching up souls who have wandered too far from the infernal capital of Gilgorgaroth. 
==Physical Description==
Striders are nightmarish in appearance. Standing over 100 feet tall, they stand on anywhere between four and eight long legs, each of which terminates in a human-like hand with six to eight fingers. Their faces, again disturbingly humanoid, have no eyes and a mouth which constantly spews forth a tirade of curses in the Infernal language. 
==Behavior==
Fortunately for those of the Mortal Realm, no strider has ever ventured out from its native habitat. This may be due to some binding by Mephistopheles, their chief diet of souls, or both. Either way, the damage one could cause outside of its native land would be incalcuable. 
Striders eat mortal souls who have wandered too far from Gilgorgaroth, the capital of Hell. Since the Plains of Burning Blood surround the capital in a circular pattern and extend for many miles, a soul has a miniscule chance of escaping successfully. Owing to how few souls escape in the first place, it is suspected that striders supplement their diet with other things or simply require little nutrition. As with all things infernal however, little data has been gathered about their dietary needs, if any.
