Spinagon

Spinagons, the spined devils, are the first non-Petitioner Baatezu form, a Lemure's chance to think and reason. Some are quite cunning, either due to some innate quality of the soulstuff from which they were made or perhaps an irregularity in the crafting process. This is rare, though; a spinagon is intended to be a messenger or information-gatherer, or a herder of petitioners. They sometimes act as escorts for imps, too, but most imps are expected to find their own way about.

Spinagons who excel at their tasks can be promoted as high as Amnizu status, but this is rare. Most spinagons who perform satisfactorally are transformed into Abishai.

Physically, spinagons are small, scaly humanoids with tiny horns, batlike wings, and a tail studded with sharp spines which they can launch at opponents. Their bodies are covered with spines as well.
