the Fomori:
For as long as people have huddled together around the fire for safety, there have been legends of terrible things stalking the night; ancient demonic beings full of power and malice. Such are the Fomori.
They appear in myriad horrific forms, but if there is such a thing as a typical Fomor, it is a man-shaped creature standing a towering twenty-four to thirty-five dimins, its skin a deep red hue with corded muscles straining beneath, and a deadly pair of massive horns sprouting from its skull. The strength of the Fomori is legendary, as is their aggression and cruelty. They do possess a weakness, however: as ordinary folk might hope, the power of holiness is anathema to these demonic creatures. Sometimes this advantage is even enough to earn one survival of a Fomor onslaught.
The native language of the Fomori is the Archaen tongue, though most are quite fluent with human Anglic and drow Zadjalin, as their kind has much discourse with those peoples in the course of their malefic campaigns. Fomor lifespans are a matter of long centuries, and many become familiar with a variety of other tongues. As typical with such long-lived races, though, they are slow to learn new things, a fact which is one of the few comforts given to the forces of light when contemplating these beings.
