Description
A screaming devilkin is a small creature that resembles a mephit in appearance. It is three feet tall, with a long, muscular barbed tail and leathery wings with a 5-foot span. Its legs and arms are disproportionately small and useless for movement or combat. A screaming devilkin always attacks and never willingly breaks off a fight, striking with its cruelly barbed tail. It has a painful howling scream which it uses continuously in the presence of other beings that makes other vocalization inaudible.
Other publishers
The screaming devilkin appeared in the Tome of Horrors (2002) from Necromancer Games.
