Rubicante (“Red-Faced Terror”) are intelligent but irascible, and seem predisposed if not determined to misconstrue anything they hear in the worst possible way. Left unchecked, they will wrangle with anyone with earshot, eventually causing destruction without care for the survival of anyone else, including themselves. As invaders and torturers they are unmatched, but they lack the ability to rein themselves in, unless under constant supervision by a greater being. Even by infernal standards, their behavior is problematic in that it routinely interferes with orderly management. Thus, they create a lot of strife for other demonic beings above them in the hierarchy.

Lacking the tail of the more powerful Malacoda Demons, they are always equipped with either a three-tined infernal pitchfork (65% chance, 2d6+1 damage) or a cat o’ nine tails (35% chance, 2d4+1 damage). If their weapon is lost or damaged, they will resort to a claw / claw / bite attack.
