Reaper Demon Species Profile
Overview
Reaper demons are the hybrid offspring of Abbadon, the Angel of Death, typically born when he reproduces with demons of the Pit. They serve as psychopomps across all realms, guiding souls to their appropriate afterlives—whether that be Heaven, Greater Hell, the Seven Rings, or Lower Hell.
Though feared in mortal folklore, reapers are not executioners by default. Most do not kill; they observe, accompany, and protect the dying during their final moments.
Physical Appearance
Two Primary Morphs
Reaper demons manifest in two forms:
1. Classic Reaper Form
Skeletal or skull-faced
Cloaked in shadow or tattered robes
Gendered features are subtle; female skull-faced reapers exist but are rarer
This is the form most mortals recognize from myth.
2. Humanoid Reaper Form
Often appearing as teenagers or young adults, these reapers are more approachable, especially for guiding children.

Red-and-black hair
Red eyes
