Horned devils, also called cornugons, serve as elite defense forces, the soldiers supreme of the Nine Hells. They are terrible to look upon— even to other devils. They are powerful warriors, capable of causing great devastation with their physical attacks and infernal powers.^[1]

Physical descriptionEdit

They appears to be a large gargoyle-like fiends, with a thickly-scaled hide, massive wings, and a crest of horns along its head, as big as an ogre, with a vaguely humanoid shape. Hideous scales sheathe its body. Huge wings and a snaking, prehensile tail add to its intimidating appearance. A horned devil is 9 feet tall and weighs about 600 pounds.

CombatEdit

Horned devils are bold fighters. They rarely retreat, even against overwhelming odds. They love to fight with their spiked chains, usually singling out the most powerful foes to stun and eliminate quickly.

A horned devil’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are evil.

• They also have a number of magical abilities which they can use at will. These work to increase their ability to fight good or chaotic creatures. They can also teleport and use the fireball and lightning Bolt spells.

• Creatures find it hard to stand firm in the presence of a horned devil as it exudes a feeling of helplessness causing many lesser creatures to run in fear.

• Horned Devils are proficient with a spiked chain and use it to stun their opponents.

• Any creature falling victim to an attack from the horned devils tail will continue to bleed out.

• The horned devil can also summon lesser denziens of the nine hells such as lemures, barbed devils and even other horned devils.

• Horned Devils are vulnerable to good aligned silver weaponry and will regenerate unless damaged with silver.
