Hellspawn

A Hellspawn is a demon archetype that commonly specializes in Dark and destructive magics, along with other abilities that vary, depending on the individual. Generally, Hellspawns are covered almost entirely in scales, with only their head retaining any semblance of their former human appearance, and possess demonic wings, claws, and talons. They are extremely weak to Holy magics and are easily blinded by sudden flashes of light, but normally possess a biological trait that makes up for this weakness, like rapid healing or poison/toxin immunity.

Every Hellspawn is also cursed with the chance to lose control of themselves, becoming temporarily consumed and driven by one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Hellspawn offspring also have a chance to carry this curse, should one parent be a non-Hellspawn.

To become a Hellspawn, one must live a sinful life, so much so that they allow themselves to be consumed by their sins until their death, whereupon they are resurrected and reborn in Hell as a Hellspawn. Commonly kept in Hell as envoys and lieutenants of various higher demons, there are some that are allowed to return to Earth to do as they please.
