==Useful Info==
'''Sin beasts''' are bestial [[tier-2 demon]]s with an [[antimagic]] bite. While their attacks are always fairly powerful and can [[trample]] you back a square, their [[AC]], [[EV]], [[HD]], and [[willpower]] are low, and they have few resistances. They can be encountered in [[the Abyss]], [[Pandemonium]], or the [[Hell]]s (particularly when summoned by [[Geryon]]); they may also appear in one ending of [[The Lair]].

==Tips & Tricks==
*Evoking the [[horn of Geryon]] will summon 1-4 sin beasts at no cost (though you will not be able to do so again until you have gained a considerable amount of experience). Their friendliness and duration depend on your [[Evocations]] skill.
*Unlike most demons, they lack [[poison resistance]]. [[Mephitic Cloud]] and the combo of [[Olgreb's Toxic Radiance]] and [[Ignite Poison]] affect them very well.
*Be wary of their trampling ability if you expect to stair dance away. They may push you off the stairs and leave you extremely vulnerable, a common way to die in the [[Vestibule of Hell]].
*Casters need to be careful around them, as their bite can drain MP, leaving them unable to cast spells.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.32]], sin beasts were called hell beasts, did not have an antimagic bite, and had only 7 HD.
*Prior to [[0.17]], hell beasts varied in speed, from "fast" to "faster".
*Prior to [[0.14]], the Horn of Geryon only summoned a single hell beast, and it was always hostile.
*Prior to [[0.9]], they were simply called "beasts."
*Prior to [[0.8]], they could not trample.
