Greater demons

Greater Demons were a breed of demon encountered by Kain as he worked to banish the Hylden back to the demon dimension. They are arguably the most powerful and dangerous enemies encountered by Kain.

Greater Demons resembled giant humanoid bettles. Unlike their Lesser Demon cousins, Greater Demons were completely uncontrollable and would kill any and everything in sight if allowed to roam free, including the Hylden, who the Lesser Demons served. To contain the beasts, the Hylden would keep them in special prisons that could be opened via telekinesis. If freed, they would immediately begin to rampage.

Greater Demons were completley impervious to Kain's normal methods of attack. Even his powerful Immolate Dark Gift was useless against them. They could still be destroyed, but only through estrordinary circumstances, such as luring them into possision to be blown up by a powerful Hylden energy device.
