These are the final results of my quest to find all of the Demon RP verbs. Credit goes to several people, most notably, several people who were involved in the half-decade old thread devoted to finding these the first time. Off the top of my head, Evarin, for quite a few verbs and the extremely elusive POUR <FLUID> GRIK verb, Querthose, long gone but not forgotten, for his Abyran/Aishan work, and Jenovadeath, who with his script found the first Grantris verb, RUB (which was for me, the only for years). Credit also to Oscuro for filling in the gaps in my list when my combination archive/self-experiment was almost finished. Additionally, to anyone else who I got verbs off of and forgot to mention. With all that said, here we go:

Aishan
Verb (Unillusioned):
STARE - Narrowing your eyes dangerously, you cast an irritated look at the aishan. It whimpers timidly, and its entire body trembles in response.
GAZE (1) - You look over at the aishan, and it turns its gaze upon you. You see yourself reflected in its eyes. The face before you is your own, but for some reason your eyes are tightly shut, and a small trail of tears is streaming down your face. Without warning, the eyelids fly open, and you gasp when you discern not eyes, but two masses of maggots writhing in an opaque liquid slowly leaking from your sockets. Immediately, the image expands, and you find yourself looking into a rotting coffin inhabited by your decaying body. As quickly as the image came, however, it fades away leaving your horrified reflection behind.
GAZE (2) - You look over at the aishan, and it turns its gaze upon you. You see your face reflected in the aishan's large pupiless eyes, but something about what you see strikes you as odd. A heart-stopping chill creeps up your spine as you realize that your head has no body attached and instead ends in a bloody stump. Palms sweating, you involuntarily clasp your neck to ensure that it is still there.
GAZE (3) - You look over at the aishan, and it turns its gaze upon you. You see what appears at first to be a perfect reflection of yourself in the aishan's large eyes. As you inspect the reflection more closely however, a dark figure appears behind you, swiftly lowering a jagged knife towards your back! Spinning around with a scream caught in your throat, you prepare to evade the knife only to realize that there is nothing there.
GAZE (4) - You look over at the aishan, and it turns its gaze upon you. You see a reflection of yourself just as you are in the aishan's large eyes. Taking a moment to consider the image contained in its irises, you realize that the face before you is rapidly aging. You GAZE in disbelief as your skin quickly decays off of the bone, and within moments there is nothing left but a cracked skull that soon turns to dust and blows away. Shuddering involuntarily, you break away from the gaze, haunted by what you have just seen.
GAZE (5) - You look over at the aishan, and it turns its gaze upon you. You see yourself reflected in its eyes. The image is a perfect replica of your face, but your expression appears fixed in a garish smile. Slowly your face drops out of view, revealing a disfigured humanoid smiling cruelly beneath it. Bile works its way up your throat as you realize the creature has attached your skin to a stick as a crude mask. Swallowing the bile back down, you turn away quickly. The nausea eventually fades, but the image in your mind lingers a while longer.
GAZE (6) - You look over at the aishan, and it turns its gaze upon you. You see a perfect reflection of yourself in its pupiless eyes. The irises shift and swirl constantly, however, entrancing you for a moment, and a wave of dizziness begins to overtake you as you wrench your gaze away.
SNAP - You snap your fingers, and the aishan moves to your side obediently, its bulky musculature shifting oddly beneath its rippling coat.
RUB - You run your hand over the aishan's coarse fur, but your fingertips pass through it as though there were nothing there at all. The aishan looks over devotedly for a moment before resuming a blank stare ahead.
CLENCH - Anger seizes your expression as you reach down and grab the aishan by the ruff of its fur, grasping it forcibly. The aishan looks up at you fearfully, and a sharp yelp escapes from its oversized maw.
GLANCE - You glance at the aishan and incline your head slightly. The aishan licks its lips, causing a small bit of drool pooling in its mouth to spill onto the ground. An acrid odor wafts up from where it landed, and the aishan begins panting heavily.
Verb (Illusioned):
SNAP - You snap your fingers, and the wolf moves to your side obediently.
STARE - Narrowing your eyes dangerously, you cast an irritated look at the wolf. It whimpers timidly, and its entire body trembles in response.
CLENCH - Anger seizes your expression as you reach down and grab the coyote by the ruff of its fur, grasping it forcibly. The coyote looks up at you fearfully and yelps sharply.
GLANCE - You glance at the wolf and incline your head slightly. The wolf licks its lips, causing a small bit of drool pooling in its mouth to spill onto the ground. The wolf begins panting heavily.

Shien
Verb (Unillusioned):
SLAP - You move toward an indistinct dark black darkling in a threatening fashion. The dark black darkling doesn't even seem to notice.
CLENCH/POKE/PUSH/RUB/TOUCH - Your hand sinks through the layer of haze surrounding the dark black darkling. Although you know you have touched the darkling, you cannot feel anything except for a peculiar, distinctly unpleasant tingling. The tingling fades when you withdraw your hand.
STARE/GAZE - You stare/gaze at an indistinct dark black darkling. The darkling doesn't respond in any way.
Verb (Illusioned):
None? Somehow this field was left blank. I think SLAP might have worked. Its not a very responsive demon anyway.


Arashan
Verb (Unillusioned):
SNAP - You snap your fingers at a lazy shadowy black arashan beckoning it. The arashan grudgingly crawls to your side and stares at you with an eyeless face.
PET/TOUCH - You move your hand to touch the arashan's wiry shadowy black hair, but as your fingertips approach it, the hairs begin to twitch and feel around, lightly scratching against your hand.
EXHALE - You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs in the direction of a jittery coppery brown arashan. Its wiry coppery brown hair becomes a flurry of movement as it detects your breath.
Verb (Illusioned):
SNAP - You snap your fingers at a tethered hairy black tarantula beckoning it. The tarantula skitters to your side.

Grik
Verb (Unillusioned):
TOUCH - The grik'tval submits to your touch without complaint, though its wings shiver unhappily. Its skin is remarkably dry, with a smooth texture that is almost silky.
SLAP - As you gesture threateningly at the reddish-orange grik'tval, it cowers backward in terror, spreads its wings wide, and prostrates itself on the ground. (becomes prone)
POUR (liquid) - As you raise the tincture of sovyn over the reddish-orange grik'tval, the grik'tval spreads its wings and flutters them in incredible alarm, and you feel it fighting madly to break free of your control. It only calms again when you lower the sovyn without pouring it.
Verb (Illusioned):
TOUCH - The figure submits to your touch without complaint. Through the illusion, you feel that its skin is remarkably dry, with a smooth texture that is almost silky.

POUR (liquid) - As you raise the tincture of sovyn over the figure, you feel it fighting madly to break free of your control. It only calms again when you lower the sovyn without pouring it.

Imp
Verb (Unillusioned):
WAVE - You beckon to a lean marbled white imp. The marbled white imp hurries over to your side and waits for your command.
SLAP - Sensing your hostile intentions, the imp cowers away from you, and a sudden breeze stirs around it. As the breeze pulses outward toward you, you hear a multitude of agitated, unintelligible voices, and the voices rise to a painfully cacophonous pitch. As you reel from the sonic assault, the imp bounds away to cower at a safe distance from you.
Roundtime: 5 seconds.
STARE - You catch and hold the imp's gaze with your own. As you stare into the imp's eyes, its features shift to match yours, providing you briefly with a mirror image before the marbled white imp's concentration is broken and it reverts to its normal appearance.

WAVE - You beckon to a stooped and wizened gnoll. The wizened gnoll hurries over to your side and waits for your command.

Listen Messaging:

Grantris - A grey grey-eyed grantris uses the rubbing of its legs and clicking from its mouth to create a combination of melodic notes that sounds vaguely like garbled elven, "Testing . . ."

Heh. There are so many first- and third-person grammatical errors in these. I've bugged them multiple times, but no fixes that I've seen. Still, good work on the list.
