Lacridaemon

Souls who die from neglect or exposure due to becoming lost, trapped in small spaces, or otherwise being far from help can transform into lacridaemons. These weaker daemons are full of despair and typically lash out against anyone they see, believing them to have intentionally abandoned the lacridaemon to their fate. Many lacridaemons are born from the souls of wicked mortals who push others away and thus suffer lonely deaths. Exiled, corrupt nobles and violent criminals left to rot in solitary prisons are common among their ranks.

Lacridaemons tend to resemble humanoids with smooth, gray skin, a strange tail, and vicious claws. They each have patches of frost across their flesh, representing their ultimately cold and lonely ends. These patches appear on every lacridaemon even if their deaths weren't due to exposure to cold, as is the case for souls who perished alone from thirst in the desert.

Even in their fiendish state, lacridaemons can't help but consider themselves alone. It's not uncommon to find groups of lacridaemons where each daemon acts independently, as if the others weren't there. They tend to sit alone in dark corners reminiscent of the places of they died, sobbing loudly, but once they become aware of the presence of non-fiends, they are quick to attack, believing these creatures to be the same ones who abandoned them in life. A lacridaemon's supernatural abilities allow the fiend to subject others to a fate similar to the their own death, making it difficult to escape danger and find help.
