Summary
Barbed Devils, also referred to as Hamatulas in their infernal tongue, serve as guardians of Baatorian vaults and elite warriors in devilish armies. The devils themselves are relatively low on the devil evolutionary scale, though this does not denote a lower form of power- indeed, their strength makes them the perfect servants of craftier devils.
