| This small, stocky humanoid is about the size of a dwarf. It has green skin, an elongated pig-like head, and a pair of bat-like wings jutting from its back. Its large mouth is filled with rows of small canines. |
| The amnizu (also called styx devils) are the guardians of the Nine Hells. They guard any known gates into Baator, including the River Styx. Oftentimes, they aren’t required to keep visitors out, but to make sure that once they enter, they never leave. Because of this, amnizus often attempt to capture and detain foes rather than outright slaughter them. Of course, they are also quite good at the slaughtering part as well. |
| Amnizus stand about 4 feet tall and weigh roughly 150 pounds. |
| COMBAT |
| Amnizus almost always attempt to capture foes and return to their superiors with new slaves, thus they usually attempt to soften up their foes with multiple empowered fireballs, followed by a feebleminded touch. They aren’t above quickly slaughtering foes that have proven too resilient to this tactic, however. |
| An amnizu’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. |
|
Fear Aura (Su): An amnizu can radiate a 5-foot-radius fear aura as a free action. A creature in the area must succeed on a DC 21 Will save or be affected as though by a fear spell (caster level 12th). A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same amnizu’s aura for 24 hours. Other devils are immune to the aura. The save DC is Charisma based. |
|
Feebleminded Touch (Su): The touch of an amnizu duplicates the effects of a feeblemind (Will save, DC 21 negates) spell, caster level 12th. The save DC is Charisma based. |
|
Secure Intelligence (Ex): Amnizu are immune to any sort of effect that drains, damages, or reduces its Intelligence score. |
| Spell-Like Abilities: At will – deeper darkness, greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), major image (DC 18); 3/day – dispel good (DC 20), fireball (DC 18), order’s wrath (DC 19), unholy blight (DC 19); 1/day – hold monster (DC 20), maze. Caster level 12th. The save DC’s are Charisma based. |
|
Summon Baatezu (Sp): Once
per day, an amnizu can automatically summon 1d6 barbazu or attempt to
summon another amnizu with a 60% chance of success. This is the equivalent
of a 5th level spell. |
|
Regeneration (Su): Amnizu take normal damage from good-aligned weapons and from spells or effects with the good descriptor. |
