SPECIAL ABILITIES

Black Flame Knives (Su)

A vrolikai can manifest daggers made of crystallized black flames in each of its four hands as a free action. These weapons function as +1 daggers that bestow one permanent negative level on a successful hit. A DC 27 Fortitude negates the negative level, although on a critical hit, no save is allowed. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Death-Stealing Gaze (Su)

1 permanent negative level, 30 ft., Fort DC 27 negates. Creatures slain by these negative levels become juju zombies under the vrolikai’s control. The save DC is Charisma-based. This is a gaze attack.

Madness (Su)

A creature stung by a vrolikai’s tail must make a DC 27 Will save to resist taking 1d6 points of Charisma drain and becoming confused for 1d4 rounds. On a successful save, the victim is instead staggered for 1d4 rounds as strange visions assault its mind. This is a mindaffecting effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Multiweapon Mastery (Ex)

A vrolikai never takes penalties on its attack roll when fighting with multiple weapons.

ECOLOGY

Environment any (the Abyss)
Organization solitary
Treasure double

A vrolikai is 14 feet tall but weighs only 500 pounds. Unlike other demons, it does not form from a sinful soul—it instead manifests from a nabasu demon that returns to the Abyss after growing to maturity on the Material Plane. Not all nabasus survive this transformation, but those who do become powerful indeed—vrolikai usually rule large regions of unclaimed Abyssal land, and often serve as assassins or ambassadors to demon lords in need of an agent in a distant realm.

Variant: Demon, Vrolikai, Kabiri Demon (CR 19)

The dark figure before you resembles a tall, winged humanoid. Other than a pair of baleful, glowing white eyes, its exact features are blurred and impossible to discern. Less nebulous however, is its equipment. It carries a luminous, multihued blade with seven serrations, and wears a golden crown with seven of ten stems ending in eyeballs, the other three apparently broken. As the creature moves, six shadowy echoes appear to trail behind it, one after the other, each slightly dimmer and more faded than the last. Kabiri, sometimes spelt cabiri or even qabiri, is a demon of secrets, and is more often referred to as kabiri of the six shadows. Kabiri are masters of shadows, and shadow demons. It is rumored that even those shadow demons in the thrall of other demons whisper their secrets to the kabiri, although this could just be clever propaganda on the part of the kabiri.

Melee serrated rule+4 keen, perilous, adamantine longsword +32/+27/+22/+17 melee (2d6+14 /17-20 plus perilous); this replaces a vrolikai’s normal melee attacks and black knives special attack.
