Breath Siphon. The Breathless Devil makes a grapple check against a target, if the Breathless Devil succeeds the check, the target must make a DC21 Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, nothing happens. On a failed save the Breathless Devil begins siphoning the breath out of the target, giving it a level of exhaustion each round it's breath is being siphoned. This can last a maximum of 6 rounds, after which the target will have reached the level of exhaustion which equals death. If the target is a Demon of CR5 or lower, if killed by this ability, it does not return to The Abyss. The target may make another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of it's turns to break free from the siphoning. The Breathless Devil may only attack with it's tail at Disadvantage while siphoning. If the Breathless Devil takes any damage while Siphoning breath, it must succeed a concentration check, or it will be forced to stop siphoning.
Description
Long ago Mephistopheles began experimenting with small creatures that were native to Baator before the Devils, on that lacked the need to breathes, unlike devils. he made them bigger, stronger, and after merging one of the creatures with a soul from The River Styx, he made the Breathless Devil. Mephistopheles soon began plucking the most cruel and sadistic souls from The River Styx and would make Breathless Devils out of them.
The Breathless Devils had a new ability to siphon the breath from creatures to kill them. This ability was particularly potent on weaker Demons, causing them to not return to The Abyss when killed in this way. The Breathless Devils also were vulnerable to the cold, as the creatures were not originally native to the Hell of Cania. They were particularly vulnerable to being kept Frozen and asleep.
Breathless Devils were soon sent to the Archdukes and Devils of the Nine Hells. Although they were similar in power to Pit Fiends, and even rarer due to their nature of being made, they were looked down upon, and seen as primitive by other devils. This was due to them being souls merged with Baatorian creatures, and starting with all that power, as opposed to earning it. Often Archdukes would keep just one Breathless Devil, and they would normally be kept frozen by machines drawing from the never ending cold of Cania until the Breathless Devil is needed.
The Breathless Devils normally stand at 18 feet tall, and weigh around 1000 pounds.
