Kocrachons are loathsome beetlelike fiends, thier bodies enshrouded in an enameled carapqce. They walk on 4 legs and have two limbs that serve as arms, each ending in a pair of pincers. Their head is dominated by a large probiscus that justs out of its forehead - just above its eyes. Also located upon its head are three antennae which are used to detect subtle changes in the atmosphere, sound, and smell of its environment.

This knowledge isn't innate, it is learned through vigorous study.Kocrachons are rarely sent to the forefront of the Blood War, as their services garner more appreciation behind the scenes. Some sages even speculate that kocrachons sometimes torture baatorian petitioners, helping to prepare them for future advancement among the baatezu.0EcologyAfter faithfully serving their 223 year tenures as torturers, a kocrachon may be given the opportunity to advance to the station of erinyes, a position where the only limits are those of your imagination. It is because of this, that many other baatezu attempt to become kocrachons, as the position is key in climbing the hierarchical ladder in Baator.
