These angry, hungry, lustful demons crawl up through the holes of the world to hunt their prey above, the humans and elves. Ruled by a vicious Queen, the Sisters are in control of the apocalyptic demon society and have enslaved their male counterparts the Brothers. Vast deserts of sand and lava hide beneath a verdant but dying world above.
