Servants of Fire. These black-furred gorilla demons serve only their demon lord. Their final loyalty is unshakable, though sometimes they serve others for a time— and they have no fear of fire, gleefully setting fire to villages and crops if their master is snubbed or insulted.
Fearless Attackers. The apau perape are fearless and savage, living for battle. Once in combat, their morale never breaks. Like their master, they have an insatiable hunger and do not leave any dead behind, consuming even their bones.
Eyes of Fire. When this demon is angered, its eyes glow a deep, disturbing red, unlike any natural ape.

Traits
Diseased Ichor. Every time the apau perape takes piercing or slashing damage, a spray of caustic blood spurts from the wound toward the attacker. This spray forms a line 10 feet long and 5 feet wide. The first creature in the line must make a successful DC 15 Constitution saving throw against disease or be infected by Mechuiti's Ichor disease. The creature is poisoned until the disease is cured. Every 24 hours that elapse, the target must repeat the Constitution saving throw or reduce its hit point maximum by 5 (2d4). The disease is cured on a success. The target dies if the disease reduces its hit point maximum to 0. This reduction to the target's hit point maximum lasts until the disease is cured.
