Zura's favored demons

[ntin]

Who are Zura’s favored demon minions? I would guess Succubi, Shadow Demons, and Nabasu.

Nabasu are certainly her favorites, since they're the most vampiric of them all.

She does have other demons working for her as well, of course—succubui and shadow demons are more associated with Nocticula, but some of them do work for Zura as well.

The majority of her minions, though, are vampires, not demons.

Is that the norm for the demon lords to have more non-demon minions than demonic?

For some of them, yes. For others, no.

Any chance that Zura has a cool non-demon chaotic evil outsider servitor monster, like Abraxas' xacarbas or Aghazhan's baregara?

Do other demon lords have similar servants?

Any chance we'll see more of these creatures in the near future?

We'll never be able to catalogue all of the denizens of the Abyss. There's too many. By which, I would say that EVERY demon lord has some specialized minions that serve them. We tend not to detail those specialized minions until a product makes a logical point for them TO be detailed, though.

If and when we do a big thing about Zura, that's a good time for those new monsters to show up. We've got no plans to detail those things in the near future, though... but plans always have a way of changing.

I <3 Zura! I thought for sure she'd show up in the Ustalav based adventure path...now I guess I'll have to wait to find out more.

Zura’s favored minion would have to be “the Blood Bank” an Azlanti vampire wizard who specializes in teleportation magic. He makes a blood withdrawal from you, and redeposits it back with interest in the form of blood teleportation making you pop like a water balloon.

Well... there was some Zura stuff in Serpent's Skull...

Spoiler:

... in Souls for Smuggler's Shiv; you get to explore an old Zura temple.

Thanks, James! I have held off on Serpent's Skull because I am not sure if someone in my gaming group wants to run it.
