 Sometimes, generic is what you want.

It’s a cook!

I love these guys. They're the most classic looking devil and they have awesome tactics for hurling flame from up above and then the tail attack adds additional complexity to the encounter. I find these guys more interesting than Erinyes because of that.

Sometimes straightforward to run is exactly what you'd want. Have you seen the statblock of the Orthon? It's about twice as long as this. Sometimes DM's just need a quick powerful devil to throw at their party and the Horned Devil does the trick just fine.

Interesting how all the lore on these is “They’re lazy and you should pity them because they’re so lazy and pitiful and stupid” and then they have this much power.

 Suuuuuuuuuure...... I’m not even going to make a point as you aren’t going to respond, anywhoooo there awesome and better then Erinyes and orthons!

And the hurl flame attack doesn’t have a recharge

"Boring", is an adjective representing an opinion. I would also add, that no monster is boring or stupid. They are simply tools in a toolkit used to create encounters. If an encounter fails to spark the excitement of players, its not the tool's fault. That's like blaming a chisel for carving a lousy sculpture.  

Does a revivify or raise dead count as magical healing for the treatment of the infernal wound? Or does there need to be an actual healing spell/greater restoration to accomplish that?

 That is so wrong! I have people poly-morph me into it and I kick butt!

el clásico devil

that's exactly what I think when someone says devil...

right??????

I like the hurl flame attack because it has no recharge.

Its good for my Qoventh's Plunder campaign (Qoventh is a dragon, living in dragon's mount)

its a good challenge for a melee fighter because of the tail attack

why do I feel like these things should speak common?

As a Divine Comedy nerd/fan, the reference to the Malebranche makes me so happy.    :)

So what happens if I take its fork after I kill it

 The funny part is it's picture looks like it is reclining.

Am I the only one who thinks that fork should do fire damage (based on the picture anyway)? It's glowing kind of like a brand, maybe you could add a cool effect on there, like:

Fork. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be branded by the fork, taking 11 (3d6) fire damage. The horned devil gains advantage on attack rolls against a branded creature until the end of it's next turn.

If you do this, I would change it's multiattack to two attacks, to balance it out

Can the 3d6 damage from the tail be reduced in any way? Like, would a Barbarian's rage reduce the damage if they fail the con save?

 Erinyes is wayyy more boring than this guy

One could say that Saitama is bored because he possesses so much power, which could lead to him being seen as lazy.
