Tez

It's Tez.
He's the demon that possessed Alistor.
I decided to model him for my demo reel.

Now with colours!

So yes. Demon's in my novel are only referred to as such because of how different that are from everything in this dimension. They cannot survive on Earth or this plane of existence, save for a select few mutations, without a shell to survive in. Like demons of lore, they can possess a human, an animal, even machinery if need be. The only restriction is size, so some of the larger demons have trouble finding a suitable shell before dying on Earth.

They are an advanced species. Far more advanced then we are. For lack of a better term, their technology can be simply described as 'hyper-tech', if only because, when faced with it, it comes off as magic. Their technology is incomprehensible to the human mind.

Demons come in many different forms. Their true form, whatever it was back when the species was still young, has long since been lost to eons of genetic alteration. Every demon looks as they do because they brought it upon themselves, usually to better survive a chosen climate or to achieve more specialized tasks. Or even as a mark of dominance, to show the younger generations that they mean business. And, in a scant few cases, it is done solely to portray one's status. The elder demons, though scantly seen, are among the weirdest demons there are.

They are called the Dāth'illyas.
