Shokasura

Shokasuras are tragic, wretched beings, broken by their despair at the cruel truths of reality. Many were not originally asuras but instead began as other spiritual beings who realized all of their efforts only served to propagate an unjust and unsalvageable existence. Not yet willing to admit how deep the rot lies and not yet willing to commit themselves to unmaking all they once held dear, shokasuras instead constantly test mortals and force them to prove themselves, desperately trying to assuage themselves that there are people and things still worth saving within their present circumstances. These attempts inevitably lead to disaster, as mortals either fail the shokasura's impossible expectations, or the shokasura tests their chosen mortal to ruin.

Change Shape [one-action] (concentrate, divine, polymorph) The shokasura takes on the appearance of a Small humanoid. This doesn't change the shokasura's Speed or their attack and damage modifiers with their Strikes, but it might change the damage type their Strikes deal (typically to bludgeoning). The asura typically loses their thorn Strike unless the humanoid form has a similar unarmed attack. This alternate form has a specific, persistent appearance, which the shokasura can change by performing a 1-hour ritual.Grieving Venom (poison) Saving Throw DC 19 Will; Maximum Duration 4 rounds; Stage 1 1d4 poison damage and enfeebled 1 (1 round); Stage 2 1d4 poison damage, and enfeebled 2 (1 round); Stage 3 1d4 poison damage, slowed 1, and the creature cannot use reactions (1 round)

Asura

Source Monster Core 2 pg. 42
Asuras claim to recall a time before anything existed, a time of perfect simplicity, peace, and innocence. The act of creation was also one of unfathomable tragedy, as it brought forth a corrupted multiverse filled with suffering and broken promises. As such, asura are unmoving bastions of an uncomfortable truth: existence is flawed, irredeemably cruel, and must be destroyed. While other creatures ignorantly accept the reality that has been thrust upon them or seek mastery over their imperfect circumstances, asuras work to undo this horrific injustice. They reject all consolation, happiness, pride, pleasure, and love in their mission, for these things are born from what they seek to unmake. Even power is only useful as a tool to bring about the dissolution of everyone and everything.

Despite their overarching goal, asuras aren't necessarily belligerent toward any denizens of the mortal Universe they encounter. They're not nihilistic, though many mistake them as such—asuras believe strongly in virtue, as it's virtue that drives them forward in their terrible task. Some will perform righteous deeds even as they plan to ultimately obliterate the beneficiaries of their charity, and many mortals consider them divine protectors worthy of worship.

Asura Ranas

The mightiest asuras are demigods in their own right, and despite knowing their divine power is forged from a corrupted lie, they do not eschew worship. Gaining the might of divinity offers the power to unmake reality, and the adoration of followers allows asura ranas to reveal the faults of existence to mortals.

Asura Realms

Asuras command vast empires in the corners of Hell. While their realms are tiny compared to the massive hierarchy of Asmodeus and devilkind, they exist in a tacit agreement of coexistence with their diabolic neighbors

Asura Recruits

Many asuras were formerly rakshasas or yakshas, swayed to the asuras' cause and transformed as a result of their broken vows or failed duties. Residents of the Outer Planes are far less likely to be swayed but can sometimes become asuras as well— celestials when they lose faith in the system they once supported and fiends drawn in by the promise that they were judged, damned, and condemned by a flawed system.

Geryon

A former asura rana, Geryon joined the ranks of Hell, betraying his asura brethren to prove his loyalty to Asmodeus. Yet some believe that this was simply a ploy for Geryon to draw closer to true divinity, to gain the power necessary to unravel reality— including all of Hell's works.
