Scavengers that feed on flesh, preferably that of humanoids, charfiends earned their name through their lust for overcooked meat. The stink of burning hair, scorched skin, and sizzling fat stimulates their appetite, and they are drawn irresistibly to burning homes, funeral pyres, and even sacrificial rites involving burnt offerings. Despite their own foul odor, charfiends can seemingly smell burning flesh for miles. These creatures tend to lair in old ruins and burnt-out structures, emerging often to feed.
