At will: darkness, invisibility, alter self
1/day each: charm person, cone of cold, gaseous form, sleep, pass without trace, mass cure wounds
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Buer fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Weapons. The buer's weapon attacks are magical.
Regeneration. The buer regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point. If he takes radiant damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of his next turn. Buer dies only if he starts his turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.
Multiattack. The buer makes 3 attacks, any of its three swords.
Sword of Pain. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage and 12 (4d6) psychic damage.
Sword of Paralysis. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage and the target must make a DC 13 constitution saving throw or become paralyzed until end of the Oni's next turn.

Breaking Wheel (Recharge 5-6). Buer transforms into a three-legged wheel and moves up to his movement speed in a straight line that is 10 feet wide. Each creature in his path must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 31 (10d4 + 6). bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, a creature is also knocked prone.
Change Shape. The Beur magically polymorphs into a Small or Medium humanoid, into or back into its true form. Other than its size, its statistics are the same in each form.
Description
The Buer is a devil similar to a Rakshasa, though its development took a different path. It mutated itself and freed itself from its regeneration on the nine hells and instead regenerates naturally on whatever plane it exists.
The Buer's true form is a three-legged Lion head that wheels around at incredible speeds. However, this young version likes to appear mostly humanoid, altering its shape to show two arms and a tail that resembles a third arm.
In this form, it can cast alter self to resemble a normal human when interacting with potential prey.
The Beur loves power and collects artifacts of particular arcane might. It prefers weapons built by arcane means with no attachment to divine or natural forces. Often it will pose as a powerful lord or ruler in order to hire adventurers to gather magic artifacts on its behalf to increase its arsenal.
The Beur loves slaughter above all else. It's mutation means that it no longer needs food to sustain itself, but the pain of hunger has transformed into a pain for slaughter and death. It must kill to survive or be in the presence of battles to the death. To this end, you will often find Beur coordinating fight pits or colosseums to disguise their eagerness to witness death.
If a Beur is denied the ability to observe death, it will eventually seek out new opportunities to instill it. Family pets will disappear if the Buer is trying to keep a low profile, but the bodies are always found uneaten, but horribly butchered. Once in a more powerful position, the Beur will slowly go after larger targets or send adventurers off to dangerous dungeons, only to reveal itself as the monster at the end of it. The Buer love witnessing slaughter so much that it can even be bargained with, if a creature assures a larger slaughter in return for its current demise. What's a caravan compared to a war?
