Magic Resistance. The barregon has Advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Sealed Mind. The barregon is immune to effects that would reduce or alter its Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma scores, and it has Advantage on saving throws against effects that would Charm or Frighten it.

Fear Aura. At the start of each of the barregon’s turns, each creature of its choice within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or have the Frightened condition until the start of the barregon’s next turn. On a successful save, a creature is immune to this barregon’s Fear Aura for 24 hours.

Description

Barregons are the wardens of infernal thresholds—grotesque, winged devils entrusted with guarding Hell’s gates and patrolling the River Styx. Their oversized crocodilian maws, corpse-pale eyes, and damp ceremonial robes conceal calculating intellects and unwavering devotion to infernal law.

Unlike many devils, barregons prefer capture over slaughter. Those seized by these gatekeepers are stripped of memory, broken in spirit, and dragged screaming into the Lower Planes. Even when bound into mortal service, a barregon views every summoning as an opportunity to extend Hell’s dominion beyond its gates.

Barregon

This hunched, winged devil bears an enormous, crocodilian maw and corpse-pale eyes. Damp, immaculate robes cling to its stunted frame as sickly green light pulses from its clawed hands.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Amnesia Touch (Su)
Three times per day, a barregon can channel the memory-scouring power of the River Styx through its claws. A creature struck by a claw attack must succeed at a DC 21 Will save or be affected as though by feeblemind. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Fatigue Touch (Su)
A creature struck by a barregon’s claw must succeed at a DC 21 Fortitude save or become fatigued. A fatigued creature struck again becomes exhausted. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Fear Aura (Su)
A barregon radiates a 10-foot aura of dread. Creatures within the area must succeed at a DC 21 Will save or be affected as though by fear for 1 round. A creature that successfully saves is immune to that barregon’s aura for 24 hours. Other devils are immune to this aura. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Sealed Mind (Ex)
A barregon is immune to effects that would damage, drain, or otherwise alter its Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma scores. This ability renders it immune to the memory-erasing properties of the River Styx.

Summon Devils (Sp)
Once per day, a barregon can attempt to summon 2d10 lemures or 1d6 bearded devils (50% chance of success), or 1d4 hamatulas or another barregon (35% chance of success). This functions as a 5th-level spell.

DESCRIPTION

Barregons are among the most secretive and vigilant of Hell’s greater devils. Charged with guarding the innumerable portals and waterways of the infernal realms, they are most often encountered along the banks of the River Styx in Stygia. Their grotesque forms—oversized heads crowned by crocodilian maws, corpse-white eyes, and damp ceremonial robes—conceal calculating intellects and absolute devotion to infernal law.

Unlike many devils, barregons prefer capture over slaughter. Souls and intruders seized by these gatekeepers are dragged screaming to hidden oubliettes or cast into the Styx to be stripped of memory and identity. On rare occasions, powerful conjurers bind barregons into temporary service on the Material Plane, but such arrangements inevitably serve the devil’s long-term designs. Patient and methodical, a barregon views every summoning as an opportunity to extend Hell’s influence beyond its gates.

Barregon

Near the portal that will send you home is a horribly deformed creature held aloft by black, buzzard-like wings. Although roughly the height of a small man, the thing’s abnormally large head is dominated by a huge mouth, with crocodilian teeth jutting from its lips. Small, dead white eyes peer from the sickly, mustard colored scaly flesh. The stunted body is covered in immaculate, damp robes that conceal everything save its hands. Bearing long, dexterous, clawed fingers, the hands are encased in a throbbing, greenish aura. The creature gurgles obscenely as it launches itself towards you.

Barregons are among the least well known of the more powerful devils that mar the horrible landscape of Hell. Ranking slightly higher in station than cornugons, barregons are the defenders of Hell’s many gates and portals.

In particular, barregons monitor and patrol the River Styx as it winds its way through The Pit. In their hands are the keys to escape Hell… or suffer within The Pit for all eternity.

Of the greater common devils, barregons are those most frequently summoned to the Prime Material Plane. Due to their great power, these devils are capable of accomplishing a great deal for a conjurer strong enough to control them. However, such situations are only a past time for a barregon who uses its temporary ‘servitude’ to infiltrate the unsuspecting world in which it is imprisoned. A barregon stands about 5’5″ and weighs about 300 pounds. Barregons speak Infernal, Celestial, Common, and Draconic.

Combat

A barregon is usually more interested in subduing adversaries in order to take them back to Hell for obscene torture sessions. It takes a lot, like certain death or the direct orders of a higher ranking devil, for a barregon to use lethal attacks.

A barregon’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.

Amnesia Touch (Su): A guardian of the gates and water-ways of the Nine Hells of Perdition, the barregon has learned to manipulate the foul energies of the River Styx. 3/day, a barregon can channel its feeblemind power through its infernal touch as a free action. The victim must succeed a Will save DC 21 or succumb to the effects of feeblemind as the spell as though cast by a 15th level caster.

Fatigue Touch (Su): To further enhance its role to bar the gates and water-ways of Hell from intruders, the barregon’s touch causes fatigue in those that fail a Fortitude saving throw DC 21. The save DC is Charismabased.

Fear Aura (Su): A barregon can radiate a 5-footradius 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 as cast by a 15th level caster. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same barregon’s aura for 24 hours. Other devils are immune to the aura. The save DC is Charisma based.

Metamorphosis: A barregon that is allowed to advance beyond 39 HD begins to mutate and evolve into a greater creature. At 45 HD, a barregon is due to transform into a malefircarim, although this does not necessarily happen immediately upon advancing to this level of Hit Dice.

See table below to determine what level of mutation the barregon possesses.

Metamorphosis of the Barregon by Hit Dice
Barregon Hit Dice	Metamorphosis Effect
40 HD	nondetection, Intelligence +4, Charisma +4, natural armor +8
41 HD	Hit point per Hit Dice increase (5), immune to mind-affecting effects
42 HD	Intelligence +4, Charisma +4, natural armor +8, hit point per Hit Dice increase (6)
43 HD	Immune to polymorphing and form-altering attacks, hit point per Hit Dice increase (7)
44 HD	true seeing, two claw attacks (3d6), maximum hit points per Hit Dice
45 HD	Metamorphosis into a malefircarim (hellspawn)

Regeneration (Ex): A barregon takes normal damage from good-aligned silver weapons and from spells or effects with the good descriptor.

Sealed Mind (Ex): As the guardian of the River Styx, a barregon possesses an innate immunity to the river’s memory sapping powers. A barregon is immune to any effect that would damage, drain, or otherwise harm its Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma scores.

Spell-like Abilities (Sp):

• At will – analyze portal, animate dead, charm person, desecrate, detect good, detect magic, dispel magic, feeblemind, greater invisibility, greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds only), hold monster, knock, magic circle against good, major image, suggestion;
• 3/day – dimensional anchor, acidball (as fireball), force cage, polymorph, sending, trap the soul, Wrack;
• 1/day – imprisonment, improved portal alarm, mass hold monster, plane shift, seal portal.

These abilities are as spells cast by a 15th level sorcerer (save DC 14 + spell level).

Summon Devils (Sp): Once per day, a barregon can attempt to summon 2d10 lemures or 1d6 squamugons with a 50% chance of success, or 1d4 hamatulas or another barregon with a 35% chance of success. This ability is equivalent to a 5th level spell.
