These ram-headed devils have wings and flesh made of rusted metal. They're forged from the souls of damned mortals who made others suffer through their creative work. They like to tempt those of the same ilk, driving auteurs and stage directors to cruelty in the pursuit of greatness. Ferrugons also enjoy pushing artists to extremes in order to break them. They dip the bodies of mortals they've driven to despair into molten metal to make horrifically malformed statues, which they then add to their lairs.
Rust devils prefer temptation to fighting and only enter combat if protecting something dear to them.
