Motif · Book 4, The Gate of the Feral Gods
Slit
A Feral Minor Demon, level 200: a fat, neckless, winged demon whose head, the size of a sports arena, is scaled and fleshy, plastered in makeup and reeking of cigarettes, with a chain whip of semi-truck links, one of a demon harem thrown into the Nothing during the first Ascendency who believes Samantha slept with her king. She chases a thrown head fifty kilometres and is torn in two by a distant, many-armed god whom Samantha calls her mother. 'Her sister Gash is the one you really need to look out for.'
