Berserk. Whenever the catenaloth starts its turn Bloodied, roll 1d6. On a 6, the catenaloth goes berserk. On each of its turns while berserk, the catenaloth attacks the nearest creature it can see. If no creature is near enough to move to and attack, the catenaloth attacks an object. Once the catenaloth goes berserk, it continues to be berserk until it is destroyed or it is no longer Bloodied.
Magic Resistance. The catenaloth has Advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Multiattack. The catenaloth makes two Chain attacks and uses Conjure Celestial Chain.
Chain. Melee Attack Roll: +7, reach 15 ft. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) Bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it has the Grappled condition (escape DC 17) from one of two chains, and it has the Restrained condition until the grapple ends.
Conjure Celestial Chain. If the catenaloth is not berserk, it conjures a golden chain to bind a creature. Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 17, one creature the catenaloth can see within 60 feet. Failure: 9 (2d4 + 4) Radiant damage, and the target has the Restrained condition until the end of the catenaloth’s next turn, at which point the chain disappears. If the target is Large or smaller, the catenaloth moves the target up to 30 feet straight toward itself. Success: The chain disappears.
Heart of Evil. If the catenaloth is berserk, it teleports up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space it can see. Constitution Saving Throw: DC 11, each creature within 10 feet of the catenaloth's destination space. Failure: 10 (3d6) Necrotic damage. Success: Half damage.
Description
Yugoloths work as mercenaries, selling their weapons to the fiend or evildoer that offers the most gold. Occasionally, a celestial creature like an angel or archon offers a contract to a yugoloth. Perhaps they need to build an army to fight fiendish forces, or they believe that by forcing a yugoloth to do good deeds, they can redeem the yugoloth and transform the fiend into a new celestial.
A catenaloth, often called a Slave of God by other yugoloths, is a mercenary that took one too many contracts from a celestial patron. Their service to the upper planes now binds their body in the form of golden chains, locking them into doing good despite their own will. They are not damned to holiness forever, thankfully. In the heat of battle, a catenaloth might be able to loosen their shackles just a little bit and enjoy the feeling of evil that they so often long for.
