Looking back through one of my notebooks, I came across this monster. Along with some of the details, I like the format, so it seems worth a post.

• Devilspawn are a pale echo of Satan’s majesty
• They cannot speak the truth
• They sometimes believe they are truly Satan
• Attended by animals that speak or speechless, beast-like humans
• They have forked tongues
• They can grant spells if bound or through mystical covenant
• Will claim the fallen as additional attendants, mutating them slowly

And roll 1d6 each for detail, attendants, power, weakness, and motive:

6. Glorious multicolored enameled plate armor

Attendants

1. 1d6 horses with lizard heads that speak and drool or vomit lava
2. 2d6 moths the size of hawks that gibber constantly and have long, corrosive, hollow tongues
3. 1d6 floating silver cages containing vicious birds of paradise that mock the weak
4. 2d6 naked, filthy humans with filed teeth that can climb like spiders, mad and grinning, fitted with collars and leashed
