Traits

Barbed Hide. At the start of each of its turns, the devil deals 7 (2d6) piercing damage to any creature grappling it.

Devil's Sight. Magical darkness doesn't impede the devil's darkvision.

Innate Spellcasting. The devil's spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 14). The devil can innately cast the following spells, without providing material components:

2/day each: hold person, major image

1/day: blight

Magic Resistance. The devil has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

Multiattack. The devil makes three melee attacks: one with its tail and two with its claws. Alternatively, it can use Hurl Flame twice.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a creature other than an undead or a construct, it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened. A frightened creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself with a success. If the target's saving throw is successful, the target is immune to being frightened by the devil's claw for the next 24 hours.

Hurl Flame. Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 60 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (3d6) fire damage. If the target is a flammable object that isn't being worn or carried, it also catches fire.

Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is Medium or smaller, it is grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, the devil can automatically hit the target with its tail, and the devil can't make tail attacks.

Reactions

Redirect Attack. When a creature the devil can see targets it with an attack, the devil chooses another ally within 5 feet of it. The two swap places, and the chosen ally becomes the target instead.

Directed Strike (2/Day). When a creature the devil can see within 30 feet of it makes an attack roll, and the creature can hear the devil, the devil grants advantage to that roll.

Description

Barbed Devil Captains are former guards and soldiers that display unusual cunning and tactical prowess. These hamatula warriors lead shock troops into battle, directing their attacks where they can do the most damage. They will not hesitate to sacrifice one of their own to save their own skin since they believe they are more valuable alive than any of their ilk.
