DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE
This showcase's demon is of the Wilder race:
“I’m Wilder Catoplepas. I don’t have any friends so you can decide what to do next.”
Alignment: Neutral-Neutral
Origin: Greek mythology. A legendary creature from Ethiopia. Its name comes from the Greek word for “to look down” and is described by Pliny the Elder as a monster with a head that always points down due to its weight. It resembles a cape buffalo, with a long, thin neck and a bristly mane that hides its face and reptilian scales. A catoplepas can turn people into stone or kill them with its gaze and breath. It’s also called an African gorgon.
Skills: Toxic Cloud, Fire Breath, Frenzied Chomp
Next time, you will meet a demon of the Megami race.

Catoplepas is usually listed as an African demon but as far as I can tell, no indigenous African communities are known to believe its existence, it’s just Pliny who said they live in there. I’d kinda prefer if they had the blinding bangs they’re known for but I guess the cyclops eye is a good reminder of the power their gaze holds… kinda like Balor. It’s a little cute how it can hardly lift his neck though, so maybe that’s why he needs those big chompers.
