Scourge

An Infernal Monster from the Celestial Codex.

Historical Data

The Scourge is indirectly inspired by the comic book character, Spawn, created by Todd McFarlane and published by Image Comics. Spawn’s body and costume are made of a substance called “necroplasm” through which the character gains a variety of natural powers, including the ability to animate it’s cape and chain accoutrements.

Amtgard Description

Scourge Daemons appear as humanoid fighters wearing what seems to be normal chain mail or ring mail armor, but on closer examination their armor is actually made of barbed wire. Scourges are free-willed Daemons, in that they are not summoned in the conventional manner, but rather sent to Amtgardia on missions given directly from their dire lords instead of mortal masters. Like most such horrors, Scourges thrive on inflicting pain and suffering; unlike most Infernals, Scourges are not likely to lie and deceive their enemies, preferring a more direct and violent approach.

Garb

Tunic made of chain mail, ring mail or metallic gray fabric, horns and devil tail.
