Yeah, I think they're different. Spined devils are slightly less dorky looking. But a devil with porcupine quills is better than either imo.

Barbed Devil: You know what I think when I see the usual Barbed Devil? This bit from Doctor Who: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uTyEvLmu7E No more. I envision it looking... devil-y (a certain amount of consistency among the lot would please me-- like castes of a single species), but with wicked-looking porcupine quills on its shoulders, arms, and perhaps its tail (if it has one).

Barbed Devil:

Pit Fiend: Head Devils In Charge. They shouldn't be all big hulking Balrogs-- that's what Type VI Demons are for-- but they still look strong. Possibly they wear robes, and it may not be immediately apparent that their wings are not just an outer layer thereof. I envision Chernabog from Disney's Fantasia as the prototype.

Great devil images.

Character sketch for a friend:
Darwin. Dwarven Cleric / Scientologist

I don't think I've ever seen an image of a dwarven cleric before. Very nice!

"...Bearded Devil: I think the classic design for it with the beady eyes, scruffy and unkempt beard, and sloping forehead looks a little oafish. How you do the devil itself is up to you, but I'd like its beard to be handsomely groomed, with burning matchcord woven or braided into it like legend says Blackbeard used to do, cloaking its face in smoke. Maybe shaggy goat legs, but maybe not."

Ah, the Teach-bazu, or Blackbeard Devil. Burning matches are a nice touch. Seriosuly, it's a good theme to work from. The scythe is a nice shift as well. Evil reaper.

Although I'm still tempted to put together a naval adventure that includes a Bearded Devil pirate.

Glad you like it. I had fun with that one, but this chain devil is really sucking me in.. i'm loving this one thats on my table now..
