Hellion, Ireful

Ireful Hellion CR 9

This large humanoid figure has enormous hulking muscles, its skin dark, cracked, and stone-like. Several large crystalline shards extend outward from various parts of its form, seeming to have naturally formed upon the looming creature. Its gnarled and twisted face stares outward with fiery eyes in an expression of contempt and hatred.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Aura of Wrath (Su)

As a full round action, an ireful hellion can radiate an aura of wrath in a 50-ft.-radius. All creatures within the area of effect must succeed on a DC 19 Will save or become enraged for 1d4 rounds. Creatures enraged by this effect lose all sense of themselves and become overwhelmed with rage and violence. The affected creature gains a +3 to all melee attacks and the effects of haste, but cannot tell friend from foe and expend actions attacking any target within their reach (randomly determined at the beginning of that creature’s turn). A creature who is already enraged in this manner and is again affected by the aura of wrath extends the enraged effect for another 1d4 rounds.

ECOLOGY

Environment any (small locales, magically bound to the Material Plane)
Organization solitary with 6d12 hellion revenants
Treasure +2 jagged crystal fang (2; as +2 longswords)

It is unknown what stature an ireful hellion may have once held in the infernal hierarchy, but eons of being bound and trapped on this plane have caused it to evolve into what is surely a viler abomination than its original form. The reason for its dimensional anchor to this plane has been long forgotten and lost to history, and an ireful hellion’s lair (where it is bound) is often ancient, ruined, and with geological traces which hint that the devil has been trapped there for many millennia.

A sentience whittled down by time to an unadulterated anger and vengeful wrath, an ireful hellion’s only purpose is to break its bonds and destroy anyone and anything that it happens to cross paths with—it has no allies, only servants. Throughout countless centuries, an ireful hellion may have trapped and consumed dozens (or even hundreds) of damned souls effectively building a small army of ethereal undead (hellion revenants), which if ever released, wreak havoc upon the world.
