Arcane Daemon
These massive creatures are that of which legends are made. Arcane Daemons stand on two legs, as any human might do, but bear more resemblance to the most foul creatures that might inhabit the Underworld. Their red-hued bodies are often tattooed with ornate sigils and runes that cover them overall. Their forms are hunched and bent at the knees and hocks like a beast, and they stand on a beast’s cloven hooves. Black eyes stare malevolently from faces that resemble that of a bull, if it were possible for a bull to wear an evil expression. The large horns on their heads do little to dispel this illusion. Arcane daemons are not excessively muscular, so they might seem as if they are easy to defeat, despite their fearsome appearance. Be not deceived! Their strength comes from magic rather than the physical world. They are extremely intelligent, easily surpassing even the most learned human and use their intelligence in the form of magic in their quest to acquire the gold that adventurers toil for. During battles, the purpose for their tattooed runes becomes apparent; those vile markings often flare up as the daemons cast their spells. Travelers of the swamps and forests beware: the arcane daemon awaits!
