Devil, Deathleech Horned (3pp)

This horrifying horned denizen Hell would be terrifying enough, but there is a strange, unnerving aura about its countenance—unusual for even its kind—and a faint chill in the air seems to surround it.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Death Knell (Su)

5/day; Will DC 25. The save DC is Charisma–based.

Greater Death Knell (Su)

1/month; Will DC 25. The save DC is Charisma–based.

Infernal Wound (Su)

The damage a deathleech horned devil deals with its tail causes persistent wounds that deal 2d6 points of bleed damage. Bleeding caused in this way is difficult to staunch—a DC 26 Heal check stops the damage, and any attempt to heal a creature suffering from an infernal wound must succeed on a DC 26 caster level check or the spell does not function. Success indicates the healing works normally and stops all bleed effects.

Stun (Su)

Whenever a deathleech horned devil hits with a spiked chain attack, the opponent must succeed on a DC 28 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1d4 rounds. This ability is a function of the horned devil, not of the spiked chain. The save DC is Strength–based.

ECOLOGY

Environment any (Hell)
Organization solitary, pair, or wing (3–10)
Treasure standard (+1 unholy spiked chain, other treasure)

A deathleech horned devil is 9 feet tall and weighs about 600 pounds.

Deathleech horned devils are tenacious combatants and rarely ever flee or retreat, even when facing certain destruction. They rely on their array of spell–like abilities, energy drain, and other abilities to destroy or drive away their enemies.
