Sanguine Flame
Source: Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting
Various demons, devils, and other fiendish entities have often plagued Ancerra from the plane of Inferno and its four sub-planes: Cholereth, Melaneth, Phlegmereth, and Sanguineth. Since Dracula’s rise, the plane of Hell has also birthed innumerable fiends. Shadowcroft’s arrival in Ancerra’s planar orbit has introduced even more fiendish creatures to Ancerra.
Sanguine Flame
Sanguine Flames are imposing lesser devils. Their skin is patterned in crimson and slate gray with the consistency of smoke. Their burning golden eyes hold unspeakable malice, and their curved horns and cloven hooves evoke the classic superstitious fear that goats are devils in disguise.
