Zak'kaqin'gim, The Chimeras Unknowable; Progeny of the Creator of half-beautied life:

  No-one suspects some random deaths in Malfeas are perfectly predictable, and even foretold by the victim. It was however hard to believe them as they keep quoting the same phrase in their mad, paranoid rambling - "Zak'kaqin'gim"; a phrase that has no meaning in any language, but the victims often claim it does. Some have tried to follow these ramblings for clues to such deaths, but this only leads to another predation. Survivors describe their attackers as having the outline of a strange mutant, but made up of the bodies of various animals, demons and peoples that look like they've all been packed in to fill their outline. Those who survive for too long or too often tend to fall into ever stranger and more dangerous incidents until they die. These include burning in invisible flames, being disintegrated bit by bit from poisoned wounds, brains melting out of ears and many other twisted ways; but all share one trait, cut marks on the target where the death seems to start from.

The Chimeras Unknowable are as such, largely unknown by the forces Hell, but all attempts to investigate lead only to vague suggestions that Ceto made them to hide her secret's and failures, this is mostly conjecture. No exact philosophy, cause or motivation has been found to drive their actions, and it seems they create conspiracies and cabals for unknown and forbidden reasons. It's unknown how more are made, but many demons seem to know the term Zak'kaqin'gim on day and forget about it the next, just before a spike in mysterious and unexplained events.

The Zak'kaqin'gim are completely unknown in Creation, so no sorcerer has summoned them, according to available intel. There is also no known way for them to enter Creation on their, even if their goals would take them there; although this is only according to what has been pieced together about them. Their intimacies are obviously unknown, but likely include Ceto, their own secrecy and their hidden goal or goals. That's of course, if they even have intimacies like other beings.

Knout, The Flagellant Lemmings;

Knout, The Flagellant Lemmings; Progeny of the Demon prophet:

 Elymas was once told his religious activities were all a farce to control the mortal population. The Demon Prophet asked if the mortal would follow any cause to it's end, with the human replying that no spawn of the Yozi could do that. Taking it as a challenge, the 2nd Circle Demon created what looked like a lemming with four horns, tusks, saberteeth and nine whip like tails. With this new 1st circle, the old man's whole village was driven into a suicidal madness, forcing him to be driven off a cliff in the mob's rampage. Elymas was victorious, and the first Knout was unleashed upon the universe.

Knout now swarm across Malfeas, a scourge to all the multitudes of hell. They gather in great frenzied meetings, with their loud shouts and adulations driving other demons into the same twisted stated and helping the chorus build up and affect more civilians of Hell. After a point this just leads to everyone involved into a carnival of suicidal stunts - every form of 'entertainment' that is put on kills or tries to kill the participants, leaving whole areas of Malfeas desolate of life. The Knout often Survive such events, as they are tough little demons that seem to survive most that the world throws at them. Which is annoying for most demons who try to kill them on sight. Luckily the Knout are few in number and no-one knows how they come into existence. This lack of population growth is the only thing that keeps the Flagellant Lemmings from fulfilling the deepest desires for self-destruction.

Knout enter Creation whenever multiple people commit suicide together - these demons will try to encourage more death amongst mortals. They are rarely summoned, due to the Flagellant Lemmings being a fairly new species of demon, but if they bound, they are best used for crowd control or designing original execution methods. Their intimacies include Elymas (Guide and creator), Death (Entertaining), Self-destructive behaviour (Fun to watch, fun to do), Festivals (SHOW TIME!), Mobs (Home sweet Home), the preservation of their race (If we die, who'll lead the carnivals!) and pain (For the lols).
