Byzou
A Byzou is a type of Devil. Byzous are the elite soldiers of the Principality of Inferna, and often serve as guards of noble residences and of water sources. Byzous are known for often being quite prideful because of their station as well as their considerable martial prowess.
According to legend, byzous were originally created by Astaroth.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Byzous are humanoid, scaled, and have four large black serpents protruding from their shoulders and back. Most of the time, the serpents act on their own, but the byzou can assume direct control if necessary. If a byzou is killed and their serpents survive, the serpents can disconnect from the byzou and become independent. They cannot do this while the byzou is alive.
Genetics and Reproduction
Byzous reproduce sexually, and are viviparous. Their gestation period is fourteen months.
Growth Rate & Stages
A byzou's serpents don't start growing until the age of twelve, and aren't fully grown until age fifteen.
Ecology and Habitats
Byzous typically live in volcanic areas, and thus have a high heat tolerance, high flame resistance, and can withstand extended direct contact with lava.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Byzous are carnivorous, and are not adaptable. Because of their serpents, they need to eat a bit more than most other Devils.
Additional Information
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Most byzous live in Inferna.
Average Intelligence
Byzous are sapient, but their serpents are not.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Byzous have very good sight and hearing, and are otherwise average. In addition to their normal eyes, they can see through the eyes of their serpents. A byzou's serpents have infrared vision, which essentially allows them to see temperatures. Infrared vision is not constantly active.
