Dual Asura (4e Creature)

“

What was once horrific enough has now become two. For the sake of the world, I hope it does not become three.

”

Dual asuras are vicious demons created by a twisted god. It is said their insanity and ferocity derive from their warped creation, which forever leaves them in an existence filled pain.

Lore

A player knows the following lore with a successful skill check:

DC Religion 10: Created by the chaotic god Hek, the dual asura is a creature of unlimited chaotic savagery and cunning, having two crazy demon heads instead of one.

DC Dungeoneering 15: The dual asura, because it has essentially two entities on one pair of legs, has to coordinate well to even move properly in the heat of battle.

Encounters

Dual asuras would commonly be found among other demons and outsiders like fellow asura. But their chaotic nature makes them a bit more isolated from the rest.

By Jacob Blackmon Dual asuras look like fiends that have been joined at the hip. They have one pair of legs but two pairs of arms, two torsos, and two heads, usually with horns. Their eyes are fiery and they often are seen wielding blades like scimitars. Tactics Dual asura work together to coordinate their attacks and movement. Whilst one of the bodies focuses on running, the other one uses its blades to slash at the ones it passes. The fact the dual asura has two bodies without conjoined minds means they are highly effective against resisting effects that affect only one of them. They will usually attack without thought for their own safety and do not discriminate against enemy ranks or types.
