Chort Devil
“Look at you, desperate mortal. You must really need me. Otherwise I would not be here, would I?”
Chort devils are a type of fiend which revel in making contracts with mortals. They love to nitpick the precise wording of every clause, using the words to confuse and control those they deceive into signing. Chort devils are not shy about the fact that they are tricky, and will often joke about the situation that is playing out around them. They use their brazen attitude toward dishonest deal making to disarm the potential signer, remind them that they are desperate.
These fiends stand around seven feet tall, with red skin and legs that look like they belong to a goat. They command a variety of magical abilities, including the ability to change their appearance. Some mortals have been known to summon these beasts specifically to make deals with them, confident they can outwit the chort devil. This usually proves to be a bad idea.
