These are the lowest of all the devils, and they are found in the millions throughout every plane of Hell. Assagim are the unfortunate souls of those not evil enough to be incarnated as lemures. They are totally senseless—having neither eyes, ears, or mouth. They are telepathically sensitive to other devils, and can receive commands from most other types of devil except lemures.

Assagim resemble lumpy blobs of flesh with two crude arms ending in claws. In combat, they attack with their two sharp claws. If organized by an archdevil into an army, they are sometimes armed with crude clubs or maces which they use to blindly batter their opponents en masse. If slain in the service of evil, assagim will usually (99%) reincarnate within one day as another assagim. A small percentage (1%) become lemures; and within another 10 millennia, they might again be reincarnated as one of the lesser devils.

Special Abilities

Regeneration — If injured in Hell or another adjacent plane, assagim will regenerate damage at a rate of 1 hit point per round. If injured due to a weapon or artifact of good, no regeneration is possible.

Telepathic Sensitivity — Telepathically sensitive to other devils, and can receive commands from most other types of devil except lemures.

Reincarnation — If slain in the service of evil, assagim will usually (99%) reincarnate within one day as another assagim. A small percentage (1%) become lemures; and within another 10 millennia, they might again be reincarnated as one of the lesser devils.
