==Characteristics==
Sootbonces are squat bipedal demons whose most notable feature is the pair of stalk-like protrusions growing from their shoulders that have an extra eye each. They have round, darker grey heads that give the monster their name, a tiny pair of blue eyes, and a fang-filled mouth that they use in vicious biting attacks. The sootbonce almost always appears alongside the smogbonnet, which has a similar coloration to them. They have the ability to call for backup from more of their kind or nearby smogbonnets to assist them in battle.

They have round, darker grey heads that give the monster their name, a tiny pair of blue eyes, and a fang-filled mouth that they use in vicious biting attacks. The sootbonce almost always appears alongside the smogbonnet, which has a similar coloration to them.
