## Species Evolutions:

#### LV 200: Primordial Demon (of **Sin**)

## Subspecies:

### **Infant Demons:**

#### Demon Larvae

Contrary to how they're depicted in the webcomic, they're consistently described as worms, caterpillars, or insect larvae in the webnovel/books (depending on level and stats they may grow different limbs)

### **Lesser Demons:**

#### Fiend

#### Fire Fiend

A [Fire Fiend] is a specialized Demon Subspecies form of a [Fiend] that focuses on fire magic. A [Fire Fiend] departs from the traditional [Fiend] early on, but has the advantage of being specialized with only a minor disadvantage in other areas.

+0 to [Vitality], +0 to [Strength], +5 to [Endurance], +5 to [Wisdom], +3 to [Agility]

#### 'Succubus'

### **Greater Demons (LV 40):**
