Yazrael, Dreadfiend
"Hellbred" demons are actually just dream constructs made to look like demons... except for this guy. No quote on the figure's base, but supplementary material at the time of release heavily implied that Yazrael is an honest-to-goodness demon playing around the Dreamscape.
And it looks like a tiny winged skull with surprisingly low stats...
...but an ability that positively destroys the game.
See, character spawning in Dreamblade works as such: You can always spawn in your portal, period. You can only spawn in a vertical column if you have figures in said column, and then only as long as none of your guysw are occupying the spawning cells in that column - the exception, again, is your portal, which can stack as many figures as needed.
Yazrael has a constantly-functioning ability that blocks all opponent spawning in a given column. And yes, this includes the portal. And yes, by pushing enemies into spawn cells and positioning Yazrael over the portal, it is entirely possible to completely deny your opponent any spawning for a round, which is pretty much guaranteed to give you a win. it's difficult, but theoretically possible.
And yes, I did it in a game once.
