Description

More sketches of the inhabitants of the nether realm. This batch should cover some requests stemming from the first set.

The hellephants (Infernelephas) are descendants of some type of small elephantid introduced by Atlanteans. (As you may know, Plato mentions there were elephants in Atlantis, and I decided to run with this). They have gone through many similar changes as demons and imps, plus some unique to them.

The devil sketch shows the entire body of the animal minus wing details, here shown cooling by exposing its wing membranes to cool air currents. Red devils (Pterodaimon diabolus), also known as fiends, are roughly human-sized gliders depending on the unique winds of Hell to search for prey or carrion. They have two pairs of vestigial arms that are more developed in their smaller relatives. All devils can spit highly corrosive stomach liquids as a defense mechanism.

The horned behemoth is still just an idea I haven't explored further. It's clearly different from the ordinary behemoth, but is it a different species or maybe just a different sex? I haven't decided yet.

The last two sketches show the ectrodactyl hand and foot of an imp. Most imps have only three or four fingers, and even two-toed feet are common. They don't suffer from other symptoms often connected to this condition in humans.

(This somehow first ended up in scraps, don't ask me how. Maybe because my brain is mushy from fever. It's fixed now though. )
