-Again spelled "Raksasha", these are power-hungry, magical demons with the heads of big cats. Though basic mentally, their M.D.C. is GOD-TIER (4,000 on average!), and they know ALL PSIONIC POWERS.
That is the third system that I've seen where rakshasas have top level durability, I wonder if they are that tough in original Hindu myth or it is just game designers following each other's lead.

-The Four Demon Beetles are truly strange- four small beetles (a foot long each) who travel about alone or in pairs to investigate new life forms and torment them. Their only real thing is to combine their bite with a different attack each. They're powerful Afflictions, but the Beetles themselves are pretty weaksauce- little damage and low Toughness.

-The closest thing to "The Devil", Modeus is naturally an Alien Intelligence, sporting 90,000 M.D.C. He has dominated Hades for millennia, but has grow lazy & complacent- however, Rifts Earth has sparked his interest. As a true Alien Intelligence, he is mighty as hell, with many attacks, but his durability is what makes him an overwhelming threat- he can outlast even Gods in their own realms.

-Mictla is said to be the Aztec God of Death and the Lord of Hades, and is himself an Alien Intelligence. He was deposed in a battle with Modeus that lasted three-hundred years- Mictla sensed he was eventually going to lose and cut a deal with Modeus to share Hades- Mictla would acknowledge Modeus as his better and be allowed to rule one-third of Hades, and serve as one of Modeus's key generals. He is lord of Magots & Gargoyles. He is a symbol of gluttony and greed, devouring everything he comes across.

-Mictla is actually a bit more durable than Modeus, and has WAY more attacks- it's a wonder Modeus ever won, but it actually explains that he underestimates his own power and was so fearful of losing what he'd already acquired that he accepted a bargain just to keep SOME of it.

-... ugh- "DEEVILS". That name is as bad as "Hawrk-Duhk" from the Atlantis book in being so goddamn stupid it actually angers me to even see it in print. This is likely done to avoid the "Satanic Panic" (then a recent thing when this book was published, mind you), but just changing one letter makes it ridiculously childish-sounding and stupid. Deevils like to trick others into doing evil. They're actually very might, hitting PL 12 on both attack and defense. Dumb but capable of temptation, with limited Magic and no fancy attacks.

The Panic may have been particularly on Kevin's mind because of the fact that the original printing of Palladium FRPG actually had an entity named Satan in it, who got renamed later.

-Devilkin are... other tempters. Yeah, they basically have the same concept as the other thing- Rifts in a nutshell. These look more like Pan and other Satyrs. They have much more Magic and some more skills (COMPUTERS?!?), but weaker hitting power.

-The "Fenry" are black demon wolves with glowing eyes, often used as scouts by powerful evil beings or wizards. They tend to be solitary or work in pairs. They are pretty basic PL 12 creatures, but shockingly have ALL THE PSIONICS except the Super-Powers, which is huge. One less attack than the other Devils but better bonuses so it adds up to the same.
