Gruffons are bipedal yellow-skinned [[Demon family|demons]] with a large pair of bat-like wings on their backs and an absent-minded expression on their long faces. They are quite muscular and are strong enough to hurl boulders at enemies, but are so lazy, they occasionally waste their turns being angry instead of attacking. The demons wear rough dark blue clothing, red boots, and metal bracers around their wrists.
