Steam Demon
From DALpedia
Emerging from the steam clouding the area around the capsule was a large demon, with iron plated bull horns and a grilled helmet covering the entire top half of it’s face, it’s entire body had sheets of black metal which appeared to be nailed onto his body. On it’s back were pipes, which were shooting steam, four pipes pointing downward and three pointing diagonally upwards. And it’s tail appeared to be a pipe of some sort as well resembling a modern day shower hose, but made of the same black coloured metal as his plating. One of his arms seemed to more metal then the rest, it’s hand seemed to have every joint broken, as it was just dangling there.
The Steam Demon, was at least seven feet tall, it was almost amazing how a beast that size was able to fit inside the capsule. The steam demon’s arm with the broken hand pointed towards the two fighters near by Nex, who by now was floating motionlessly inside the empty pit that was once the lava pool. The steam demon’s broken fingers snapped backwards until they were firmly placed against it’s metal arm. It’s palm burned open until it was a large circular hole. It’s arm now resembled a cannon.

About
The steam demons are bipedal tanks. Their name comes from the fact they shoot steam from the pipes on their back whenever they move. They are highly empowered in Fire Magic, but their only actual attack is shooting flaming hunks of metal from their cannon like arm (usually in three round bursts). The steam demons are usually slow moving but they are actually able to make very quick dashes and are known to be able to jump very high. Their only clear weakness is the fact that they are not a fully aware being, but an animal, yet they are well trained and loyal to their masters. Draven discovered another weakness is clogging their steam pipes disables their movements and causes internal implosion, although a lot of efforts needs to be taken to block the pipes (ie: corks wouldn't work). Nex of the Talonscar revealed that he designed them, when he did this and when these beasts came into existence is unknown.
