Steam demons are the nastiest denizens of ruined under-cities and sewers. The hissing fiends relish wanton cruelty and vandalism, and their ability to channel sizzling, steel-melting electricity through their claws only enhances their destructive might.
Bullies and thugs, steam demons fancy kidnapping surface-dwelling Pure Humans and Mutant Animals just for sadistic thrills. That said, steam demons are terrified by Mutant Humans of CHA 6 or less and other "frightening" bipeds. Their Morale drops to 6 upon encountering groups of 2 or more such beings.

Steam demons generate billowing clouds of noxious, fuchsia-hued gas that surround them in a 20' radius. Anyone caught within suffers the effects of a Class 4 poison per round and a -2 penalty to all To Hit rolls (even if a Saving Throw Vs Poison succeeds on the damage). And though they sport prominent wing-flaps, steam demons actually levitate, and can only reach vertical heights of 15' above the ground / floor.
