Ethros demon

Ethros demons are a species of demon capable of possessing humans. They are widely feared because of their penchant for mass murder. Angel Investigations came face to face with an Ethros while investigating a case.

Physiology and powers
When assuming corporeal form, Ethros demons appear as pale grayish humanoids with large facial wrinkles, yellow eyes and pointed teeth. Ethros demons also excrete a bodily fluid called Plakticine, which can be used to measure the demon's maturity. Finally, Ethros demons seek out primordial volcanic basalt to regenerate when wounded or weakened.

Ethros demons can assume an incorporeal form in order to possess humans. The demon can be forced to surface and then exorcised if the host ingests Psylis Eucalipsis Powder. Once having surfaced, the host body will take on certain facial characteristics of the Ethros. The victim must be kept inside a Binding Circle to prevent the demon from using his powers on his surroundings.

Once exorcised, Ethros demons will seek out the closest human body to possess, though the force of the expulsion is such that the new host rarely survives. To prevent this, an Ethros Box can be used to attract the demon and keep it trapped.

Ethros demons also possess psychic abilities. They can read the minds of others and have minor telekinetic abilities. They are also vulnerable to the sight of crucifixes, similarly to vampires.
