They have black tar skin that is formed like a human with no mouth. In the Light there eyes are white but in the dark they glow. The color they glow is depending on sub race. A venoulm's class is depending upon the host.
The host of the demon is not dead and must be alive in order to be stable for life. Once the host dies a Venoulm must find another host with in 48 hours or flee back to the shadows.
Home Region: A Venoulm's home is in the shadows. Unless with a host they can't live outside the shadows for more than 48 hours. But they all come from Hell's shadows and lurk were most demons would never dream of lurking.
SUBRACES And Abilities: There are six sub races that make up the Venoulms. All Venoulms are born with shadow walk and almost perfect at it at that. All Venoulm's can become their own host after absorbing 30 souls. Venoulms do NOT know everything the host dose. The host must be willing to share the information including class information. Example, (Haverntea's body was taken over by a Venoulm.. He is stubborn and shares his secrets of magic with no one. Thus the Venoulm can only use the magic he already knows.)
Groums:
Red eyes
Natural Fighters.
Special abilities: There body can form Metallic weapons at will. No matter what the host is. They can do this at will and with there feet even. Other abilities with this include Auto metal armor, extra arms of metal and even metallic wings. (Only allow them to glide.) These weapons are only temporary use and can't keep them out any longer than an hour. Once their hour is up (non stop) they must rest there bodies an hour!
Spaira:
Green eyes
Natural Wizards
Special Abilities: These are the only Venoulms that can learn magic (Unless host class directs otherwise). They can also use shadow walk perfectly with no flaws and they can polymorph (same size only).
Desimi:
Blue eyes
Natural Clerics
Special Abilities: At birth. A Desimi picks a God. He then after steels Divine Magic from as if he was a cleric of the God. They can also fly naturally with feathered wings that grow out of the host (like they are Celestial). They are also the only Venoulm that can't be separated from the host by a persist. The host has to die to separate them!
Masin:
Yellow Eyes
Natural Psyonics
Special Abilities: They are more than likely the most dangerous of all the Venoulms. They use Telekinesis, telepathy, and they have the ability to read minds. Including the minds of the hosts. They can also levitate and slight mind control (think star wars and the force. You know like "credits will do fine").
Croili:
Orange eyes
Natural Bards
Special Abilities: There voice is so beautiful that it cannot only out you to sleep with a simple song, but also confuse your very existence, a quick way of mind control. They can also mock any voice including the voice of the host (all of them take on there hosts voice).
Venom:
Purple eyes
Perfect toxins
Special Abilities: Unlike the rest of it's race Vemon's need only ten souls to become whole. They are also poison in every way
They spit acid and their claws and talons also are breaded in heavy toxins. Their very blood is flowing with poison as well as the hosts. Meaning if you drink their blood sleep with them, you die! The Venom is also the only Venoulm whose host doesn't have to be living to use it as a host, (note that if you get killed while in a dead host body, YOU DIE! The host is already dead!)
Other Info:
Separation: A persists or cleric can perform a Poltergeist to get the Venoulm to separate from the host. Venoulms like vampires are highly Allergic to Holy water and will sometimes flee from its host to get away from it. Killing a Venoulm infected person will get it to flee to the shadows. (Note. When you kill a Demonic Infected Person who has a Venoulm inside. The HOST Dies not the demon. You must kill it after it flees in order to REALLY kill it.)
Birth: In Order to give birth a female Venoulm must find a male host and obtain another Venoulm male who has stolen a female body. They must have hosts in order to reproduce. It is like normal human sex. The Venoulm female will then abandon the Host and when the Demon child is born is will eat the soul of the body it's in giving it life.
Becoming Whole: When a Venoulm gathers enough souls it becomes whole. When whole it has a normal Demonic body and looses all it's hosting powers but keeps in birth powers. Thus once whole he is a normal Tendril demon!.
Host connecting: A Venoulm cannot just take a host at will; he must at first beat the host down to near death. Then perform a soul connecting ritual that will bring the bodies together. Once one The Demon looks like the host only with white eyes. His tar skin can cover the host body as armor any time and is a must in order to use the special abilities. Also when they are one, if the host dies the demon lives until killed separately. The Demon also takes on the Hosts voice.
Ability points: The Demon's strength, dexterity and such are same as host when separated they are same as a normal demons.
