Chain Infernal

Traits

Hellchain Body.

The Chain Infernal is wrapped in living infernal chains. Any creature that grapples it or is grappled by it takes 7 (2d6) fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

Magic Resistance.

The Chain Infernal has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Infernal Chain Mastery.

The Chain Infernal can control up to 4 animated chains within 30 feet of itself. These chains act on its initiative and can make attacks as part of its Multiattack. If a chain is destroyed (AC 17, HP 20, immune to fire), the infernal can reanimate another object chain after a long rest.

Seething Embers.

Whenever the Chain Infernal takes damage, embers flare from its body. Until the end of its next turn, the first creature to hit it with a melee attack takes 7 (2d6) fire damage.
