Steam demons are the nastiest denizens of ruined under-cities and sewers. The hissing fiends relish wanton cruelty and vandalism, and their ability to channel sizzling, steel-melting electricity through their claws only enhances their destructive might.
Bullies and thugs, steam demons fancy kidnapping surface-dwellers just for sadistic thrills. That said, steam demons are terrified of other bipedal mutants and monsters.

Steam demons generate billowing clouds of noxious, fuchsia-hued gas. And though they sport prominent wing-flaps, steam demons actually levitate, and can only reach vertical heights of 15' above the ground / floor.
