Mortem demon




 * "I never run so fast in me life. One look into those black eyes and I swear she was sucking me soul right out of me body."
 * -Anonymous, on allegedly coming into contact with a female mortem demon

Anatomy and appearance
Much like their cousins, the forest demons, little is known of mortem demons. They are reported to have silver hair with black, piercing eyes and slender bodies. Few humans have come into contact with mortem demons; so few, in fact, that those who claim to have come in contact with one are believed to be insane or possessed. Mortem demons are said to possess the ability to reap the souls of human beings just by looking into their eyes.

History
There is no known literature on mortem demons and only a few accounts of alleged sightings as well as one artist's depiction shown on the right. Many believe that the idea of mortem demons was created in order for mothers to scare disobedient children.
