Characteristics[edit | edit source]

The manguini is a demon with blue skin, wings, and a green underbelly. They are the matured forms of Teeny sanguinis, which will turn into manguinis after drinking enough blood from other creatures. They have long arms that practically trail on the ground, ending in sharp claws that they use in vicious slashing attacks.

Description They rake their vicious claws through enemies with glee, and make use of their slim stature to sidestep strikes.

Their chins get longer and longer with age until, when they finally touch the ground, it's time for the manguini to meet its maker.
