NUPPERIBO
No soul is turned away from the Nine Hells, but the truly
worthless-those whose evil acts in life arose from care-
lessness and sloth more than anything else- are suit-
able only to become nupperibos. These pitiful creatures
shuffle mindlessly across the landscape: blind, bloated
from unquenchable hunger, and groping for whatever
scraps of fetid matter or swarming vermin they can
scoop into their groaning mouths.
Nauseating Bulk. Individually, nupperibos are pa-
thetic, but they're rarely alone and can be dangerous
when gathered into packs. They herd together into
throngs that can clog a vital passage or an entire valley.

' Cloud of Vermin. Any creature, other than a devil, that starts its
turn within 20 feet of the nupperibo must make a DC 11 Consti-
tution saving throw. A creature within the areas of two or more
nupperibos makes the saving throw with disadvantage. On a
failure, the creature takes 2 (ld4) piercing damage.

Hunger-Driven. In the Nine Hells, the nupperibos can
flawlessly track any creature that has taken damage from any
nupperibo's Cloud of Vermin within the previous 24 hours.

ACTIONS
