Zzyzxs

Zzyzxs are a type of Heltish beasts.

Physiology
Zzyzxs are tiny, pitch black semi-humanoid creatures, often times only 10 inches tall. They have oblong torsos with two very skinny legs, a pointed tail, and no arms. They have an elephantine snout instead of a mouth, three eyes, and two small horns on top of their heads.

Zzyzxs have the special ability to be able to light themselves on fire at will. If prolonged, the fire become uncomfortable for them, and eventually painful.

Zzyzxs are capable of speech, and are roughly as intelligent as humans.

Significance in Helt
Zzyzxs have been tested as having possible usage in intimidation, interrogation, torture or counselors for Demons and Devils. Their small stature and silly appearance negate any actual credibility in these purposes.

Satan uses Zzyzxs very rarely, because of mutual distrust. In 32011, there was a Zzyzx revolt in Helt. Satan had ordered the Zzyzxs to stay aflame for too long, and they started to get antsy. The Zzyzxs attacked Satan, and demanded to let them extinguish themselves for some time. Satan became enraged that they had dared to attack, and tried to kill every Zzyzx on sight. After a while, all Zzyzxs had fled into other parts of Helt, and Satan calmed down. After numerous failed attempts to get the Zzyzxs to come back, Satan simply created more of them.

Due to the Zzyzx revolt, there is a large population of Zzyzxs living freely in Helt. They have often times been observed to recruit other Zzyzxs working for Satan to join them, and engaging in guerilla warfare against Satan. Satan has attempted to eradicate these rogue Zzyzxs to much dismay.
