Bibliodaemon

Bibliodaemons are four-armed, weasellike daemons who personify death by paperwork and incompetent bureaucracy. They're often attracted to places where bureaucrats abuse power or cut corners at the expense of the citizens. By disguising themselves as government officials, the bibliodaemons worsen the problems, forging or losing important documents and escalating the complexity of the bureaucracy. Eventually, major infractions—such as the imprisonment or execution of an innocent person—begin to tear the community apart. The people descend into paranoia and mistrust of their officials, leading to either a revolt against these local governments or complete apathy due to the lack of power to affect change.

Most bibliodaemons work alone to cause this kind of chaos, but in some instances, these fiends have been used strategically. After all, once an area has descended into turmoil, it's easy for another party to step in and take over. During the civil war in Cheliax, bibliodaemons were sometimes summoned to destabilize areas in grabs for power. While none will admit it, bibliodaemons have been present during the various coups and government changes throughout the Shining Kingdoms.
