Gallu
Gallus, or warmonger demons, are the warmongers of the Outer Rifts.1
Appearance
A gallu has a horned, hairless, wolf-like head, bat wings, pale flesh, hooves, and lion-like tails. They stand eight feet tall and weigh 450 pounds. Gallus can also assume a humanoid form when seeking to instigate war among those with whom they interact.1
Ecology
Gallus arise from the souls of people who, in life, fomented conflict for the purpose of profit or sadistic pleasure. They are difficult to summon, and are usually only found in the Universe after travelling there via a portal.1
Society
Although they often instigate conflict for its own sake while in the Outer Rifts, gallus are crafty and capable of resisting this natural destructive urge in the Universe. They prefer to disguise themselves and spend decades building influence until they reach a position with enough power to incite politicians into waging war. Once both sides have suffered enough, only then will the gallu reveal itself to torment the survivors before moving on.1
On Golarion
In the Worldwound, many gallus served as high-ranking officers in demonic armies, each controlling a few marilith generals and reporting to demonic leaders of the Worldwound such as Areelu Vorlesh or Khorramzadeh. A rare few gallus, most often servants of Baphomet, infiltrated the Worldwound's enemies and "advised" them into launching ill-considered attacks against the demons, and sometimes fed their erstwhile allies legitimate intelligence on the demons in the hope of encouraging their violent urges.1
