Highly intelligent, eerily silent demons with barbed bodies
Malacoda ("Barbed-Tailed") demons are highly intelligent, quiet, and calm. While capable of speech in many languages, they are eerily silent most of the time, including during combat. They are fearsome opponents but also excel in roles as sentries, or supervisors of lesser infernals. They tolerate but dislike Rubicante demons.
