The devouring corpse possesses a ravenous appetite and

creatures have also demonstrated the ability to drain the
very life force from their opponents.

Hideous ravenous creatures, devouring corpses tend to

living beings they can reach. Their voracious appetite for

preferring to tear their victims apart and chew on the

"In all my studies, I must say that the most intriguing was
my interview with the desire demon. That the creature was
willing to speak with me was a sign that this was no mere
monster, mindlessly driven by its nature, but rather a rational
being as interested in me as I was in it. It took a form that I
would call female, though I had no doubt that it could
appear otherwise. I wondered if it appeared as it did because
I wanted it to or because I expected it to. She... and, indeed, I
could only think of her as such now... smiled warmly at me
and laughed a musical sound that seemed to thrill my old
heart. So frightened was I of this creature's legendary
abilities to twist the hearts of men, and so relieved was I
when I looked across the table into her dark eyes. This was a
fearsome creature of the Fade, but as I spoke with her I
slowly came to realize that this demon was merely as
misunderstood as we mages are, ourselves."

"Once upon a time, we classified these as demons of sloth,
but we learned that despair demons are something quite
different. They are not the antithesis of justice or valor, but
rather of hope. They form nightmares tearing away the
foundations of self and purpose. When brought into the
world, they are most attracted to places the downtrodden
populate: alienages, slums, prisons, and the like. The miasma
they spread can lead to extreme behavior. We look for a rash
of unexplained suicides, men and women so filled with grief
they lash out. The most intelligent of these creatures are to
be feared, for they not only feed on despair, they understand
its causes... and seek to bring it about. From the shadows
they ruin lives, drinking the tears of those who have no idea
the cause of their misery is not random chance."

Notes & Credits

Created by Emmet Byrne (/u/Emmetation).
This creation was intended as a conversion of the demon

creatures found in Green Ronin's Dragon Age AGE system,
but was also influenced by the creature's abilities as
depicted throughout the Dragon Age video game series.. It
is intended for use in the Dragon Age setting and as such
much of the lore may not make sense for a standard D&D
campaign.

All artwork is property of their respective owners, and
was sourced primarily from the Dragon Age Wiki and the
official Bioware Dragon Age sites.

Text descriptions are a combination of my own as well as
those found on the Dragon Age Wiki
(http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Age_Wiki), and
in Green Ronin's Dragon Age RPG.
