In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the screaming devilkin is a type of fictional monster.

Publication history

The screaming devilkin first appeared in the original first edition Fiend Folio (1981), credited to Phillip Masters.[1]

Description

A screaming devilkin is a small creature that resembles a mephit in appearance. It is three feet tall, with a long, muscular barbed tail and leathery wings with a 5-foot span. Its legs and arms are disproportionately small and useless for movement or combat. A screaming devilkin always attacks and never willingly breaks off a fight, striking with its cruelly barbed tail. It has a painful howling scream which it uses continuously in the presence of other beings that makes other vocalization inaudible.

Other publishers

The screaming devilkin appeared in the Tome of Horrors (2002) from Necromancer Games.[2]
