DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE
This showcase's demon is of the Fairy race:
“I’m Fairy Domovoi. I’m not that bright but if you tell me where you are, I can protect you!”
Alignment: Neutral-Neutral
Origin: Slavic mythology. A domestic spirit whose name means “household lord”. They are a family’s progenitors in deified forms. They sometimes have a feminine counterpart named Domania and sometimes are paired with Kikimora. They look like, old, gray-haired men with glowing eyes, sometimes with a tail and horns. Food was ritually offered to Domovoi in order to receive their blessings and appease their anger.
Skills: Media, Tarunda, Tentarafoo
Next time, you will meet a demon of the Yoma race.

I feel like Domovoi may be a specific reference to a popular culture character but even with then, his design is pretty reminiscent of the Slavic illustrations of the spirit… as he’s a hairy, humanoid creature. Yeah, he looks a bit goofy for an ancestral protector that requires some occasional sacrifice, but I think the lack of eyes gives it some unique spook factor. Domovoi can learn some attack skills but it’s almost exclusively a support demon.
