| Lifespan | Immortal |
| Habitat | The Hells, The Catacombs, unholy places |
| Food | Souls |
| Description | They have two to seven long, black tails & huge black wings on large, black, sleek bodies with white teeth & red eyes. The caquiho lords sometimes have huge macaw wings. Their bodies are studded with seven glowing stars. |
| Procreation | Vucub caquihos procreate with each other rarely, preferring solitude. They are incapable of procreating with non-demons (touching a vucub caquiho destroys one's soul). Other demons do not usually reproduce with vucub caquihos, as touching them drains their power. However, any offspring that come from a vucub caquiho & another demon will be a weak husk. |
| Magic | 1/200000 have soul magic naturally, 1/1000000 have heart magic. They can get mind or body magic, but rarely do. They generally have weak darkness faith, but sometimes have despair, destruction, undeath, or envy. They can use void normally. |
| Special Powers | They are immune to mundane electricity, cold or fire, soul damaging effects, & any sort of mundane weapon, though if they lose their eyes, this immunity vanishes. They can fly, have two to seven long, black tails, & the ability to drain souls from anything they touch. They not only gain sustenance from the souls, but also power. However, the power is quickly used up as they suck the lifeforce out of everything around them. Not even the undead can bear their touch. At a 24 difficulty, they can be summoned or control via dark magic or faith, but if they break loose, the caster/faithful will be driven mad regardless of circumstances. To top things off, they have a white misty breath attack that burns & blisters the skin & liquifies bones. Vucub caquihos sing in demonic after a good fight, & they have auras of night, areas around them where anything that enters risks becoming the vucub caquiho's slave via possession the bodies of the victims. |
| Weaknesses | Vucub caquihos can be defeated by the pure of heart with "nothing more than a simple blowgun," that is, any weapon, no matter how weak. However, most are too afraid to try. If they lose their eyes, they are no longer immune to anything, and if they lose their teeth, they no longer drain lifeforce from the area around them.

| Culture | Vucub caquihos lust after souls. They have no masters except for their own cquiho lords & extremely powerful demons (octallons & greater). Anyone who tries to control them otherwise will very likely regret it. They spend most of their time in the Hells draining energy from the damned or any unfortunate demons or planar creatures. If they are lucky enough to reach Shem, they usually gorge themselves quickly. After a big meal, vucub caquihos are slow & sluggish. This is the safest time to fight one, as they will not get good initiatives or dodge rolls. Their caquiho lords usually leave their bodies in the Hells while possessing some foolish mortal & scouting out Shem. Using this victim, they make deals with mortals & lure them into traps, where they eat. When a caquiho lord does come fully to Shem, it is fully capable of resisting the urge to gorge itself. Instead, it finds a body to possess & builds power. Caquiho lords thrive on subtly controlling people. Very rarely do caquiho lords exert their control on vucub caquihos, but when they do, it is often to further their own ends. Most other demons live in terror of the caquiho lords, who are aloof, mysterious, & powerful. |
