Ice Devil, (Gelugon)

Ice Devil, (Gelugon)
Füssli, Johann Heinrich Title Deutsch: Die Elfenkönigin Titania und Zettel, der Weber mit Eselskopf, Detail: Elfe 1793-1794

A pair of frozen, multifaceted eyes coldly judge all before this towering, insectile monstrosity.

It is said that each Ice Devil—known as gelugons among the ranks of devilkind—bears within its chest a stolen, frozen mortal heart, which allows it to make decisions free of all emotion. Born on the icy layer of Cocytus, Hell’s seventh layer, most ice devils migrate to Caina, the eighth layer, where they plot world-damning machinations from courts of freezing steel. Although they are perhaps the most alien and monstrous in appearance of all devils, few breeds are accorded greater respect.

In combat, a gelugon prefers to let its minions engage foes in melee so that it can hang back and appraise the foe’s tactics, strengths, and weaknesses. The ice devil supports its minions with its spell-like abilities, always taking care to avoid impacting its minions in the area of effect of its spells—this not from any sense of camaraderie, only a cold and logical truth that its allies can survive longer in a fight if they are not exposed to friendly fire.

Gelugons stand at 12 feet tall and weigh approximately 700 pounds.

Special Traits

  • Devil’s Sight: Magical darkness doesn’t impede the devil’s darkvision.
  • Magic Resistance: The devil has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

  • Multiattack: The devil makes three attacks: one with its bite, one with its claws, and one with its tail.
  • BiteMelee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) cold damage.
  • ClawsMelee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d4 + 5) slashing damage plus 10 (3d6) cold damage.
  • TailMelee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage plus 10 (3d6) cold damage.
  • Wall of Ice (Recharge 6): The devil magically forms an opaque wall of ice on a solid surface it can see within 60 feet of it. The wall is 1 foot thick and up to 30 feet long and 10 feet high, or it’s a hemispherical dome up to 20 feet in diameter. When the wall appears, each creature in its space is pushed out of it by the shortest route. The creature chooses which side of the wall to end up on, unless the creature is incapacitated. The creature then makes a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 35 (10d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The wall lasts for 1 minute or until the devil is incapacitated or dies. The wall can be damaged and breached; each 10-foot section has AC 5, 30 hit points, vulnerability to fire damage, and immunity to acid, cold, necrotic, poison, and psychic damage. If a section is destroyed, it leaves behind a sheet of frigid air in the space the wall occupied. Whenever a creature finishes moving through the frigid air on a turn, willingly or otherwise, the creature must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 17 (5d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The frigid air dissipates when the rest of the wall vanishes.

Fear Aura (Su): A gelugon can radiate a 10 foot radius fear aura as a free action. A creature in the area must succeed on a DC 25 Will save or be affected as though by a fear spell (caster level 16th). A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same gelugon’s aura for 24 hours. Other devils are immune to the aura. The save is Charisma based.

Disease (Ex): A creature struck by a gelugon’s bite attack must succeed on a DC 26 Fortitude save or be infected with a disease known as frigid ravaging. (incubation period 1day; initial damage 1d6 Constitution, secondary damage 1 point Constitution drain) The save is Constitution based.

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

Slow (Su): A hit from a gelugon’s tail or spear induces mind-numbing cold. The opponent must succeed in a Fort save DC 26 or be affected as though by a slow spell for 1d6 rounds. The save is Constitution based.

Spell-like Abilities: At will – animate dead, charm monster, cone of cold, desecrate, detect good, detect magic, fly, fog cloud, greater dispel magic, greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds), ice storm, magic circle against good, obscuring mist, persistent image, polymorph, suggestion, unhallow, unholy aura, wall of ice.

Caster level 16th; DC 17+spell level.

Summon Devils (Sp): Once per day, the ice devil may attempt to summon 2d10 lemures or 1d6 Bearded Devils with a 75% chance, or 2d4 Bone Devils, 1d6 hamatulas or another gelugon with a 50% chance. This ability is equivalent to a 6th level spell.

Possessions: A gelugon carries a +3 cold iron spear of freezing burst.
