Custom Monsters Folio One: Demons

Who doesn't love using demons in their campaign as a DM?  Sneaky, evil, cunning, and very resourceful.  The Abyss is chaos itself, twisting souls and emotion to create horrors from the very fabric of it's being.  This is but another demon formed from the chaos of the Abyss itself.  This, is the Ractorum!

The skinny but muscled humanoid before you is a living weapon.  A large bird skull like head looks about as it stands on legs that appear to be blades, it's arms sharp weapons as well.  Crude spikes line it's back and the top of it's head, which ends in a large, sharp beak.  

Ractorums serve as some of the most elite assassins for the lords of the abyss.  Usually they are sent in to kill demon lords or generals behind the lines of the devils in battle.  They are highly intelligent and usually can simply be ordered to kill a target as they formulate plans and tactics quickly depending on the situation presented.  A Ractorum is about 6 feet tall, weighing only about 120 lbs.

Spider Climb (Su):  A ractorum can climb an surface and even upside down.  A ractorum can take 10 on climb checks if needed even while threatened. 
Blood Drain (Su):  A ractorums arm blades are connected to crude tubes inserted into the flesh of the demon itself.  If an arm blade hits, it drains 1d4 Con unless a DC 20 Fort Save is made.
Sneak Attack (Ex):  A ractorum can make a sneak attack like a rogue, dealing an extra 3d6 points of damage whenever a foe is denied his or her Dex bonus, or when flanking. 
Improved Feint:   Feinting is also a move action, not a standard action for a ractorum.  Ractorums love to open weaks spots on opponents, and then strike quickly with an arm or leg blade to inflict the most damage possible.
Leg Blades:  A ractorum can attack with it's legs while using just it's arms to hang or climb on a ceiling if within reach.  It can also attack with it's legs by kicking, instead of it's arms if it wishes.

Spell Like Abilities (Sp):  At will--Darkness, Dispel magic, True Seeing, Greater Invisibility, Dimension Door 
Summon Tanar'ri (Sp):  Once per day a Ractorum can attempt to summon 2 Quasits with a 50% chance of success.  This ability is the equivalent of a 5th level spell.  The Quasits immediately help to flank the nearest targets. 

Skills:  Ractorums have a +3 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silent, Search, and Climb Checks.
