Archeri

A ferociously deceitful that will often first appear to strangers as a young human child. These beings have been encountered many times and are responsible for the deaths of several people.

Habitat
On their own, these devils seem to prefer hunting in mountainous regions. Sometimes forested but they are entirely willing to leave them in order to go after their preferred prey.

Biology
Typically look like a very young child, so far they’ve only been seen to appear as little girls. They have an alternate form that is identical to their disguise except their hands will grow into dark claws, teeth become sharp, skin will turn gray, and eyes will go a dark, blood red. When fought, they’ve been witnessed to have strength comparable to a wild dog or as great as a small bear. While they are capable of eating anything, they seem to have a strong desire for human flesh.

Sociology
Their behavior, while being disguised, is nearly identical to that as a human child. They seem to do this in hopes to lure humans away from the safety of groups or to lower their guard enough for an easy kill. Some have been capable of speech but it is often limited and broken, possibly again mimicking the behaviors of children. They have also been witnessed to be obedient to the commands of certain mages. How this is achieved is still a mystery to all of High Fire.
