Sire of Insanity

Nightclubs, where visitors can indulge any dark desire and revel in sadistic spectacle, are the favored haunts of the sires of insanity. Lurking in an underground vault beneath an operation, a sire of insanity feasts on the violence, torment, and depravity unfolding above. Occasionally, cultists bring would-be recruits to the demon's presence, and true to its name- the sire of insanity breaks the new cultist's mind.
A sire of insanity is a bloated demon resembling a bipedal lizard. It stands some thirty feet tall and weighs many thousands of pounds, so it tends to keep hidden away in its subterranean lair, working its evil from the shadows.

At the start of each of its turns, the sire can suppress this aura until the start of its next turn.
