			Demon Trigrams can be channelled in the same way normal "natural" trigrams can (i.e. Hell for Accuracy, Chaos for Power, etc.)

For example, having a high Blood Trigram doesn't give protection against Fire-based Trigrams in the same way that a high Water Trigram would. Also, significantly. Demon Trigrams don't provide Yang Chi or Yin Chi.

=Description=

Its hundreds of feet long, has a snake-head and snake body and tail, but three pairs of arms in which it wields giant swords. In other nations it has been known as the Nagah and as the Scion of Apep. Here in the Middle Kingdom, its just a ''Hungry Giant Snake Demon''.

This demon isn't one that messes around with hiding in human form - its a sheer force of nature, and a living engine of destruction. There's no subtlety here - just massive power.
