# [Manes Vaporspawn](3-Mechanics\CLI\bestiary\fiend/manes-vaporspawn-xmm.md)
*Source: Monster Manual (2024) p. 201*
Vaporspawn arise from evil souls shattered by unspeakable torments or the depredations of more powerful demons. These distorted manes undergo endless, painful contortions, and they share their torment with whatever creatures they encounter.
## Manes
*Demons of Panic and Frenzy*
- **Habitat.** Planar (Abyss)
- **Treasure.** None
The lowest form of demons, manes appear when truly loathsome souls are condemned to the Abyss. These misshapen demons have distorted features and bodies that crawl with Abyssal parasites. Overwhelmed by demonic urges and constant terror, manes know only shock and frenzied outbursts.
