A miasma inducing slow-moving magma-ish mudriver? Sounds like ankh-morpork.

[NightWatchman]

We also need a stupidly tall Tower of Art. Random areas of wall are missing, Giant Crows at the top.

and what of the giant blob of stone that looks like a dragon on top of it?

[Tack]

Yeah, Let's just suspend a dead person above the thieves guld, while we're at it?

And is the seamstresses guild decked out with depraved images?

[Draco18s]

Don't forget about the Unseen University's Library.

[Tack]

That might be a little harder...

[Puzzlemaker]

With this new underground update it should be possible to do the sewers too.

[veerserif]

A thought just struck me...
What about re-naming adamantium narrativium? Then we could have swords forged out of solid Narrativium, that can cleave through (almost) everything, and presumably has a nice 'ting!' when light hits it.
Dunno how the HFS would factor into it, though.

Obviously they're the unnamed things from beyond the veil.  Or whatever Pratchett calls them.

There's three main options, on a spectrum, from my POV...

• Your actual demons.  Quezovercoatl, Astfgl, etc.  Which are really pretty tame entities.
• Dungeon Dimensions (e.g. Bel Shamharoth, and the things that Osric guards against), which (barring flame) match things quite well, though when the magic sphere comes into play they might be tasked to appear in areas of high thaumatlurgical use.
• The Auditors.  Building destroyers (result of taking them apart atom by atom trying to see how they tick), but perhaps rather exceptional creatures, given how they don't usually act very HFSy (think Hogfather, where they act on the fringes, not directly.  Although in ToT they do wander round and do the above when the T is in the process of being Ted).

Don't forget those damn elves.

[Tack]

Is there some way you could mod the raws to make elves take extra damage from iron, or more crit-chance from iron?

[LegoLord]

I think you can in the next version; if not, then eventually you should be able to.

In order:
1) No.  Too tame.
2) Could work.  "Narritivium" could appear around them due to the fact that when they show up, its because the plot demands it.
3) No.  No rational explanation available for why they'd show up underground or why "narritivium" encloses them.  Also, food would have to kill them.

[Osmosis Jones]

To be fair, Octiron kind of fits the bill better...

When Rincewind landed in the DD, the very sand was octiron, which straight away gives you justification for the supermetal being around them (no such justification for demons, auditors or elves).
Further, it's strong, magical, has a VERY high heat resistance (or really heat capacity, but still) and an unusual density (v. heavy, not v.light).
