Traits

Charge. If an Armanite moves at least 15 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a Ram attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 16 (3d10) Bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 20 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 10 feet away and knocked prone.

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

Magic Weapons. The armanite’s weapon attacks are magical.

Sure-Footed. The Armanite has advantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws made against effects that would knock it prone.

Actions

Multiattack. The armanite makes three attacks: one with its hooves, one with its claws, and one with its serrated tail.

Hooves. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d4 + 5) slashing damage.

Serrated Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) slashing damage.

Ram. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

Lightning Lance (Recharge 5–6). The armanite releases a bolt of lightning in a line 60 feet long and 10 feet wide. Each creature in the line must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 30 (6d8) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Reactions

Parry. The Armanite adds 2 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the knight must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

Description

Great herds of armanites race across the blasted fields of the Abyss, bent on slaughter and death, driven by unrestrained bloodlust. Whether being controlled by more powerful demons or charging into battle for the sake of it, armanites use their claws, hooves, and long, whiplike tails to tear apart their foes.

Live for War. In the armies of the demon lords, armanites perform the role of heavy cavalry, leading the charge and tearing into their enemies’ flanks. Armanites fight all the time, even among themselves if they can’t find another enemy. They make ideal shock troops, courageous to the point of stupidity and utterly savage.

Walking Arsenal. Part of what makes armanites so fearsome is the number of weapons they have at their disposal. They possess sharp hooves, claws that end in curling talons, and long, serrated tails that can flense the flesh from a victim, and they use them all to carve through their foes. When they are up against tough formations, they can call on their innate magic to loose bolts of lightning and blow holes in the enemy ranks.

Baphomet Madness. “My anger consumes me. I can’t be reasoned with when my rage has been stoked.”
