Description

A rahaban looks like a massive, armored crab with multiple huge pincers & legs, & a fiery body beneath.

Procreation

Rahabans procreate with each other (making other rahabans), with crabmen (making half-demons), with giant crabs (making rahabans), & with other demons (following the mother).

Magic

1/200000 have soul magic, 1/1000000 have heart magic (though they are far too erratic to wield it well). They are not capable of body or mind magic, but random faith exists, mostly chaos. They cannot manipulate void.

Special Powers

Rahabans are large four armed crabs that spew entropy at random & shriek piercing wails randomly. They seem to be able to resist water pressure as if it did not exist, & they are immune to mundane fire. They have the ability to eat just about anything, though they prefer fresh meat. They can change their size, which may seem to be linked to their mood, but is really just random, for the most part. They teleport often, without control of when or where they will end. They permanently view the world on a scale of chaos to order, using some other sense to move about. It is a difficulty of 16 to control or summon one with chaos or dakrness.

Culture

Rahabans live an existence of pure chaos. They often have no control over hwat they are doing or where they are. In fact, most of the time, they are simply seeking meat or mates, though they are known to be very intelligent, when they communicate. Their methods of communication are strange clicking dances that translate to demonic in some way--greater fiends & higher understand it naturally, as do crabmen. Rahabans often live in small clans, having territories that they have controlled, roughly, by killing everything else in it.

Notables

Kchaackch, the first rahaban, dwells by the Sea of Acid in the Catacombs, ruling a massive clan of rahabans & feasting on the meat they bring him from Shem.
