Jygyk (Vengeance Demon) Creature 6
Jygyks embody remorseless revenge, stalking mortals and slaying them at great distances. Three legs create the unflinching stability needed for their sniper shots, and lenslike eyes scope out their prey up to 2 miles away.
Jygyks become obsessed with their intended victims and have the capacity to nurse intense grudges against dozens of mortals at once. A fresh jygyk might begin by targeting people they hated in their mortal life or seek victims who match a certain profile.
Jygyks move cautiously, typically stalking their targets for weeks, memorizing movement patterns and noting routines, to pinpoint the ideal time and place to strike. Close-range combat can prove disastrous for them, so they prioritize fleeing if confronted in close quarters.

All Creatures in "Demon"
Demon
All mortal creatures have souls that are usually judged in the Boneyard after their demise. The souls of individuals who lived sinful lives—usually by hurting others or acting selfishly—are sent to the Outer Rifts, where they eventually coalesce into demons. These fiends care for nothing but the corruption of mortal life to ensure that the ranks of their fellow demons never wane.
