Fiends

Fiends are a type of Undead creature fielded by the Undead Legion and serve as fast attacking shock troopers. Fiends have high dexterity and endurance, they are agile and excel in combat using razor sharp claws and teeth.

Fiends are active primarily around the Kingdom of Astheria and its nearby lands. They are often found in packs and fielded by Undead Overlords as a way to quickly disperse formations and battlements.

Description
Fiends were once humans, and on some rare occasions orcs and even elves. When The Black Plagues hit Astheria, the Plague of Undeath and Plague of Madness engulfed the lands, many individuals were transformed into mindless zombies and simply sought to kill, consume and conquer in the name of Death. However many of these mindless creatures who showed potential and were mostly put together, as their body began to decay and rot, were selected to undergo a transformation.

Selected by Abercromb Wellington, leader of the Fallen Court of Astheria and a high ranking necromancer, these corpses would have their flesh reformed, their muscular mass would intensify surpassing that of how they would be in life, in a sense they would develop a carapace. Their bodies would become double jointed and both their hands and feet would grow in size. Their fingers would transform into razor sharp claws mimicking that of swords both in appearance and length as well as developing sharp teeth which could tear through flesh and even some armor with ease.

History
Fiends have been seen in every single conflict that involved the Undead Legion.

Fiends were fielded in large masses during War for the Eastern Province in which they were responsible for continuous attacks against the Aiscoria Alliance making it impossible for the Alliance to gather itself for an effective offensive. They also shattered Alliance formations and were able to penetrate their lines and tear down siege weapons that were to be used on Astheria.

When the Undead Legion counter-attacked against the Alliance during what was known as the March of the Dead, fiends continued their duty of non-stop harassment and interference. However, once their Undead Overlords perished they were left without orders so simply continued their last directive or went feral.
