The Divel

The Divel is a creature of unspeakable darkness and evil, whose black heart of cobalt was forged direct from the very pools of the Nikolas Caves. Its absolute favourite pastime is to delude and deceive men. It stalks the farms at the witching hour, scouring the fields for crops and potable water, i.e., a deadly mixture of oil of vitriol and potash lye, which powers its bizarre internal workings. In addition it consumes a healthy amount of 2-octanol and butane, which ensures it can use its magic powers. It combs the grasslands with its claws, and pounces with great vigour at passersby, sometimes just to frighten them out of ill will and misanthropism, in fact, it inspired the political philosophies of Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, Hobbes, and Locke all by simply lunging savgely at them. Its powers include the ability to create houses and benene molecules from thin air, and to calculate the date Easter falls on in any year imaginable. On occasion, it enjoys teaching innocents that which doth vary from the doctrine of the apostles and the doctors approved by the church's censure. It enjoys the works of Shakespeare, especially Hamlet, and "modern" fiction such as Catch-22 and Wuthering Heights.
