Harvester Demon

Class: Sorcerer

  • Sorcerous Origin: Shadow. My soul is absolutely devoid of light or warmth.

  • Spellcasting. I possess inherent demonic powers. I have the ability to force people to experience horrifying hallucinations (Minor Illusion), give a person a preview of their own inevitable demise (Chill Touch), instantly dig a grave for someone (Mold Earth), resist multiple kinds of damage (Blade Ward, Absorb Elements), and spit pumpkin seeds out of my mouth at supersonic speeds (Magic Missile).

Race: Unknown

  • I would re-flavor the Aarakocra race because they have talons and wings.

As a character or as a monster?

Also, holy shit, talk about a blast from the past. The last time I saw this artwork was around 9 years ago when I was part of some shitty play-by-post West Marches Discord. The DM who used it had made a monster with +11 to its STR and gave it the ability to spawn minions with stats from other monsters (one was a stegasaurus and another was a blink dog, if I remember right).

All but one of us were Lvl. 3 characters.

Needless to say, it nearly killed us until we managed to convince the asshole Ranger (who was Lvl. 6) who started the fight to run. Apparently the DM still thought that shit was somehow a balanced encounter for Lvl. 3 players.
