Characteristics

Great gruffons are bipedal blue-skinned demons with large, bat-like wings on their backs, long tails, and absent-minded expressions on their long faces. They are strong combatants, able to build up their tension by psyching up and even landing critical hits, but still have a tendency to waste their turns getting into a gruff like lesser gruffons. The demons wear simple white clothing, black leather boots, and silver bracelets around their wrists.
