Demon Donkeys

The Demon Donkeys were the foul creatures that came from the Next World and threatened Magna-Kardax in the Second and Third Era.

History
The Next World bordered Magna-Kardax in the East and was home to many demonic monstrosities. The most common of these were the Demon Military Force that patrolled the Next World, kept in order by Death Demon and his Skeletons of Sorrow.

After the General of the Demon military fell out with Death Demon, he decided to use his forces to cross into Magna Kardax using an Energy Web portal and take over.

The portal was invisible to those on the other side of the portal so the demons crossed over without incident. The closest fortress to them at that point was Valmoth, so the General ordered the death of its king and the stronghold's invasion.

Second Era
While the General secured Valmoth for the Demon Donkey cause, a band of the newly-born parasites were taken to Farmer Flag's Farm for safety. The demon were thrown in the donkey pen and left to kill Farmer Flag and take their new shape as donkeys. Soon, all the demons had taken their form as donkeys, so the Demon Donkeys were officially born.

The Demon Donkeys built tunnels and furnaces around Valmoth and the General quickly began ammassing a huge army. He sent a squad to ambush Battle Budgie's party that were travelling along the Old Road to Strigondon. The Demon Donkeys were slain but it wasn't enough to stop 20,000 of them laying siege to Strigondon. After a violent, drawn out battle, Battle Budgie and his allies managed to claim victory but with heavy losses. The General was chased back to Valmoth along with his next-in-command, staying the night in a cave just before the beginning of the Third Era.

Third Era
The Third Era saw the downfall of the Demon Donkeys; the General, Zogroth and a few remaining soldiers confronted Battle Budgie and his men at Valmoth, where a Dust Dragon which the donkeys had tamed arrived to incinerate the intruders.

The dragon killed Iglop but was eventually brought down by the King's archers and the Demon Donkeys were vanquished, never again to threaten Magna-Kardax.

Personality and Traits
The Demon Donkeys stood bipedal, had matted grey or brown fur and had blood-red eyes set deep into their head. They were ruthless, and much like locusts the Demon Donkeys would scourge the land and devour and consume anything that got in their way.

Weapons and Equipment
The Demon Donkeys came in all shapes and sizes, and their armies were seperated into ranks and regiments. In battle the donkeys carried an assortment of weapons, from swords to axes and from pikes to maces. They didn't wear much armour, although some did loot bits of old equipment from enemies they killed and sometimes wore armour forged for them at Valmoth.
