Devils

Devils are a daemonic race of creatures encountered in Ultima II through  IV. Listed as relative of Balrons in the bestiaries of Ultima III, these dark foes proved potent adversaries to even the most well-seasoned of adventurers.

Description
Hellish beasts who delight in carnage and torture, devils have long fought on the behalf of evil. Descended from a slightly different stock than daemons, these beasts are often armed with the archetypal Satanic trident, although they have been witnessed making ample use of dark magicks and poisonous venom. When they appeared briefly on Earth during the terror inflicted upon that world by Minax, these dark creatures would also weave spells of paralysis to bind their victims before they slew them, although a well equipped adventurer could find certain magical repellants which would counteract these enchantments.

Trivia

 * The variant of devils known as orcus derive their name from Orcus, the Etruscan and Roman God of the Underworld. This deity has frequently lent his name to fictional demons and may have been the inspiration for Tolkien's orcs.
