Description[]
Nabassus are demons very close to undead creatures. Nabassus resemble dark horned demons with bat wings, evil glowing eyes, sharp teeth and long talons. The life of a nabassu is composed of two stages: during the first one, the juvenile nabassus reside on the Material Plane, looking for victims in order to feed on and evolve; during the second one, the mature nabassus come back to the Abyss where they usually live in an Abyssal fortress or become a servant of Orcus.
Other publishers[]
The lesser nabasu and the greater nabasu appeared under the "demon" heading in the Tome of Horrors (2002) from Necromancer Games.[5]
