Fiends are the standard residents of
the Void and the average Demon.
What Makes a Fiend
Not all Fiends are made equal. Since the beginning of time it is said that Fiends lived in the Void, though whether Chernobog created them or they are the former residents of what he calls "the Old World" is unclear. Since then, these Fiends' population have only grown, and more have come from other means.

Dead Men
Death Magic, the Item Magic of the
Goddess Morrigan, is said to split the body and soul upon death, granting true death as only she can do.
This creates something called the Dead Men, the bodies of those killed with Death Magic, which can only be resurrected by the most powerful
necromancers. Dead Men are incredibly dangerous creatures.
Their souls, however, fade away, turning to shadows of their former selves. These shadows go to the realm of nothingness: the Void. Here, they become Fiends. For all Fiends are, in truth, are the shadows of what once was alive.
Biology
Skin
The skin of a Fiend is said to feel surprisingly fleshy and soft to the touch. It is dark, as dark as the void of nothingness itself. In the Void, one would be unable to see a Fiend, as their skin blends in with the realm itself.
Fiends have the ability when in the void to shape their bodies, adding parts of the Void itself to give themselves small, decorative body parts like horns. These parts cannot be articulated in any way, and can be removed when in the Void again.
Horns
Fiends do not naturally have horns, but often give themselves horns as a sign of mockery against the Devils who are their natural enemies. Some Fiends use their horns to represent some deeper meaning, while others turn them into jokes.
Teeth
The most striking thing on a Fiend is its teeth. Most Fiends have near-permanent smiles on their faces, their bright white teeth never moving. Others are fixed in frowns, yet always their teeth show.
