A horned devil is 9 feet tall and weighs about 600 pounds.
===COMBAT===
Horned devils are bold [[SRD:Fighter|fighters]]. They rarely retreat, even against overwhelming odds. They love to fight with their spiked chains, usually singling out the most powerful foes to stun and eliminate quickly.

A horned devil’s [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]], as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]].

'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' At will—''[[SRD:Dispel Chaos|dispel chaos]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 21), ''[[SRD:Dispel Good|dispel good]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 21), ''[[SRD:Magic Circle against Good|magic circle against good]], [[SRD:Greater Teleport|greater teleport]]'' (self plus 50 pounds of objects only); ''[[SRD:Persistent Image|persistent image]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 21) 3/day—''[[SRD:Fireball|fireball]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 19), ''[[SRD:Light|light]]ning bolt'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 19). [[SRD:Caster Level|Caster level]] 15th. The save [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''[[SRD:Fear|Fear]] Aura ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' A horned devil can radiate a 5-foot-radius [[SRD:Fear|fear]] aura as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]]. A creature in the area must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 23 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will save]] or be affected as though by a ''[[SRD:Fear|fear]]'' spell ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 15th). A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same horned devil’s aura for 24 hours. Other devils are immune to the aura. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''Stun ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Whenever a horned devil hits with a spiked chain attack, the opponent must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 27 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or be [[SRD:Stunned|stunned]] for 1d4 rounds. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Strength|Strength]]-based. This ability is a function of the horned devil, not of the spiked chain.

'''Infernal Wound ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' The damage a horned devil deals with its tail attack causes a persistent wound. An injured creature loses 2 additional [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] each [[SRD:Round|round]]. The wound does not [[SRD:Heal|heal]] naturally and resists [[SRD:Heal|heal]]ing [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]]. The continuing hit point loss can be stopped by a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 24 [[SRD:Heal Skill|Heal]] check, a ''cure'' spell, or a ''[[SRD:Heal|heal]]'' spell. However, a character attempting to cast a ''cure'' spell or a ''[[SRD:Heal|heal]]'' spell on a creature damaged by a horned devil’s tail must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 24 [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] check, or the spell has no effect on the injured character. A successful [[SRD:Heal Skill|Heal]] check automatically stops the continuing hit point loss as well as restoring [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]]. The check [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.

'''''Summon Devil'' ([[SRD:Sp|Sp]]):''' Once per day a horned devil can attempt to summon 2d10 [[SRD:Lemure|lemures]] or 1d6 [[SRD:Bearded Devil|bearded devils]] with a 50% chance of success, 1d6 [[SRD:Barbed Devil|barbed devils]] with a 35% chance of success, or another horned devil with a 20% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 6th-level spell.

'''[[SRD:Regeneration|Regeneration]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A horned devil takes normal damage from good-aligned silvered weapons, and from [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]] or effects with the good descriptor.
