LILITU (By WebWarlock)

Appearance: The Lilitu are not only the most powerful of the Lilim, but they may be among the most powerful creatures in the Abyss, outside of the Balor. The Lilitu are the daughters of the Goddess Lilith and powerful spirits. Every Lilitu are millennia old.

A Lilitu's human form is unearthly beautiful. Unnaturally tall, they have perfect voices and skins. Their beauty is only matched by their minds; intelligent, witty and full of grace. Their personalities are in a word, formidable. Of course this is all a façade, the Lilitu are demonic and should not be underestimated. Their demonic form is very similar to that of their human form. Their beauty remains, but their unearthliness becomes apparent. A set of large dark feathered wings spring from their back, alternately described as looking owl or crow like. Their once fine fingers curl into razor sharp talons. Their legs are replaced with those of a giant predatory bird complete with claws for feet. Despite appearances lilitu are not related to harpies. To suggest so to one invites certain death.

Combat: Lilitu do not avoid combat. While they would rather have someone else do their fighting, they are perfectly capable of protecting themselves. A lilitu can attack open handed with both hands or with a weapon in both hands with no penalty. They are also preternaturally strong (Strength = 23) and gain the appropriate bonuses to hit and damage.

Lilitu may also cast spells as if she were a 15th level wizard or witch. Lilitu can gate in a number of other Lilim to aid her if she needs. She has a 100% chance to gate in any 2 such Lilim, except another Lilitu. Among the Lilim, the Lilitu have the strongest energy drain attack. They can with a touch, kiss or embrace drain 1d6 points of strength and constitution. Often this accomplished by touch as the Lilitu see humans as little more than animals. As with all Lilim, yhey choose whether or not their touch will drain life energy or not.

Habitat/Society: Lilitu have nothing but contempt for humanity. They believe that humans stole their place on earth when Eve replaced Lilith. If they have one weakness it is that they underestimate humans. Lilitu have a working relationship with the Balor. It has been observed by noted and reliable plane travelers that they do not attack each other. Whether this to keep the peace among their respective races of demons, or fear of the other'' power is unknown.

For chaotic creatures, Lilitu are surprisingly organized and work together. While it is their common goal to see the destruction of humankind, each and every Lilitu want to be the only one to be responsible. Lilitu have plans and schemes that are played out over the millennia. On the rare occasion that a single human attracts their interest they plan his or her destruction and torment to last for the rest of their lives.

Ecology: As the rulers of the Lilim race, Lilitu are the most ruthless, most powerful and the most cunning of all of Lilith's children. What a Lilitu says, is law among the Lilim. They often coordinate any efforts between the Lilim and Tanar'ri.

Variants: None
