Gas demons

Gas Demons, also known as Purple Demons or Purple Gas Demons, were a type of demon encountered by Raziel in encountered in the Post-Blood Omen and Early History eras of soul Reaver 2.

Role
Gas Demons were purple-skinned demons with several small horns and two notable appendages above their shoulders from which they could expel harmful gas. They were perhaps the least dangerous of the 'regular' demon enemies encountered in Soul Reaver 2.

Gas demons were comparatively weaker than other demon enemies; with their attacks less powerful and confined to closer ranges. When attacking, they fought primarily by using their shoulder appendages to emit a harmful Gas Attack (whether the chemical was poisonous or acidic isn't clear), which was fairly powerful and effective at mid-close ranges; though they could also utilise fairly weak claw strikes. Gas Demons were also relatively slow, vulnerable to sidesteps and counters, and rarely blocked attacks. Like all the demons Raziel fought in Soul Reaver 2, Gas demons could follow him into the spectral realm and could also create combat barriers to prevent Raziel escaping

Raziel first encountered Gas Demons at Shrine nearby the Pillars in the Demon-infested Post-Blood Omen era and they would again be encountered in the Mountains of that era. When Raziel continued his quest into Nosgoth's early history, Gas demons were among the Demon enemies that appeared (apparently 'transported' from the Post-Blood Omen era) to taunt and confront Raziel as he attempted to return to the Sarafan Stronghold ; they again confronted him in the Mountains.
