Fiends are a type of Infernal unit in Stormgate. They're spawned in pairs.
Game Unit
Two Friends can be spawned from a Brute at the player's command. They will automatically attack nearby enemies.[1] As soon as they are spawned, Friends' health steadily deteriorates, though this can be ameliorated by keeping them within the Shroud, allowing their "white health" to fill up. Friends are counted towards the player's population cap.[2]
Friends can also be spawned through a Gaunt's infest effect. Any unit that dies while infested spawns a Friend.[2]
It is immune to Infest.
In Team Mayhem, the Fiend is exclusive to Maloc.
