Demonic creatures
Demonic beings are a category of it's own. In general they do not call Delv Ihoo it's home as most reside in the realm of Relaytra. Demonic beings are usually only seen in the form of summoning spirits. The Reaper horse being one of it's few or maybe only species to be seen on this Island. Wolves cannot travel between the realms, therefore the knowledge of demonic beings is rather limited. That they know usually comes from summoning spirits, but even so most demonic spirits aren't friendly either, therefore it's hard to tell if they speak the truth or not.

Reaper horses are the only well known demonic creatures on Delv Ihoo. Being one of the only that Delvihen wolves get to observe. At night the possess the Fjorkuma, taking over completely and causing disaster after disaster. They are extremely territorial and aggressive and are known to attack on sight if the target is found within their territory. They are feared by Delvihen wolves as they will viciously attack and are known to consume their prey alive. During this process their horns will lit up as this indicates that they consumed the soul of their fallen victim. Appearance wise they are quite a sight, their fur is long and hangs down, usually half a side of theirs is missing which exposes the rib cage. They have eye like markings on their shoulder and clearly seem to look like skin and bones. Their face is like a twisted skull that no

longer seems to resemble a regular horse skull. Having very sharp teeth and glowing eyes, with horns on the top of their skull. Delvihen wolves learned that they were capable of devouring souls which remain trapped within life force of this creature protected by the ribs. The more souls they devour, the more this will glow. For this reason they became a target, however unlike the Fjorkuma, they are not considered endangered, as wolves assume their species must be thriving within Relaytra for them to be able to take over every individual of the Fjorkuma at night. It is unsure how they manage to pass through realms but "Alamu" a psychic wolf who studies ancient times, artifacts, creatures and more, does speculate. During his oibservations and communications with the Fjorkuma he strongly believes that the demon itself was born out of tragedy as well. Believed to have once been the restless souls of war horses whom served the Two-Legs, some of these demons recall being burned, killed, and blown up for the sake of their masters. Feeling so betrayed their souls could not find rest and began to form it's own species in Relaytra. This is why Delvihen wolves believe that unlike the Kirinma, this horses once served the Two-Legs. Sadly these demons seem to be incapable of telling what is a threat and what isn't. Alamu speculates that the only reason they can posses the Fjorkuma might be due to them and this horse sharing a similar ancestor. It is believed they were named "Reaper" horses after the appearance, as it is believed that there is a reaper dragon that would have hanging fur as well. But unlike this being which is said to help souls pass through realms, this horse devours and keeps it to itself. There are variations among them, the rarest of all is the "Blue Skull", which is a white Reaper Horse, it too features a blue glow, but compared to the other variations, it is always known to be a loner. They are known to be completely immune to the shadow element, but highly afraid of both the light and fire element. Wolves within "Koru Forest" keep them at bay with fire. Reaper horses are very desired as unlike demonic spirits wolves have figured out a way to gain them as a summoning spirit. The regular ritual can be preformed just like that of the earthly spirits, which will grant the summoner an actual demonic spirit. However obtaining them sees harder that originally assumed. While this method works, it turn out that upon death they revert back to the Fjorkuma, only a 5% chance, will cause their horns to drop. Because of this while hunted due to their problematic nature, they are not hunted by collectors as most often it is dangerous, and aside from that they usually can't gain any of the remains.
As some wolves managed to obtain them as summoning spirits, some more details were revealed on how these beings live. Within Relaytra they usually live in herds. There are 3 types of colors that are seen as variations, this being the red, green and blue glow. It is believed each color belongs to a specific territory within Relaytra. Some of these demons spoke of higher class demons that they are loyal to, which seems linked to the colors as well. Within a herd there is usually a stallion which protects it's group. Depending on which territory they live in, they are known to hunt down fallen souls as a form of punishment. They are secretive and even if they become a summoning spirit, they tend to not reveal their secrets about Relaytra towards their summoner. Their temper can be horrible, but if they feel a sense of trust, they might turn out loyal instead. As a summoning spirit there is a unique factor to them, in most cases they will not lose their red, green or blue color. Meaning that despite their summoning master, these colors will not alter. It is said if a reaper horse has lost it's title, and no longer has a herd, that only then the color will match with a color of their summoning master. This is not to be mistaken with the "blue skull", while loners in the land of the living, they are known to take part in herds within Relaytra.
