Fiendish Authority (Aura).

At the start of each hostile creature’s turn within 30 feet of the Agharrma, that creature must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is shaken (disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks) until the start of its next turn. A creature that succeeds is immune to this effect for 24 hours.

---

Innate Law Enforcement.

The Agharrma automatically succeeds on saving throws against effects that would charm or compel it to act against its lawful nature (such as charm person or suggestion).

---

Multiarmed Brutality.

The Agharrma can make up to four melee attacks on its turn: one with its Infernal Halberd, two with Slams, and one with a Hoof.

---

Actions

Multiattack.

The Agharrma makes four melee attacks: one with its Infernal Halberd, two Slams, and one Hoof.

---

Infernal Halberd. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.

Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) slashing damage. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be weakened until the end of its next turn (disadvantage on Strength-based attacks, checks, and saves).

---

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Hit: 11 (1d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage.

---

Hoof. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage.

---

Acid Spray (Recharge 5–6).

The Agharrma exhales a corrosive jet of bile in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 28 (8d6) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

---

Paralyzing Gaze (Recharge 6).

The Agharrma targets one creature it can see within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. The creature may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

---

Bonus Actions

Suppressive Roar (1/Day).

The Agharrma bellows a command infused with infernal power. Each hostile creature of its choice within 60 feet that can hear it must succeed on a DC 16 Charisma saving throw or fall prone and have their speed reduced to 0 until the end of their next turn. Allies who hear the roar gain advantage on their next attack roll before the start of the Agharrma’s next turn.

---

Tactics

• Opening: Uses Paralyzing Gaze to disable a key threat, followed by Suppressive Roar to disrupt enemy positioning.
• Melee Focus: Leverages Multiattack and superior reach to control the battlefield, targeting spellcasters and chaotic-aligned foes first.
• Situational: Uses Acid Spray on tightly grouped enemies or as a suppressive warning. Rarely retreats unless ordered.
• Behavioral Quirk: Will issue a legalistic warning before combat—“You are in violation of infernal law. Submit or be corrected.”

---

Optional: Legendary Agharrma Variant (CR 14)

For high-tier parties or elite planar encounters, the Agharrma may serve as a Legendary Creature with the following additions:

Legendary Resistance (3/Day).

If the Agharrma fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Legendary Actions (3/turn)

The Agharrma can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn.

• Enforce Order. One creature the Agharrma can see must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or fall prone and be silenced until the end of its next turn.
• Trample (Costs 2 Actions). The Agharrma moves up to its speed in a straight line. Each creature it moves through must make a DC 17 Strength saving throw or take 14 (4d6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone.
• Command the Legions. One allied fiend or summoned creature within 60 feet may use its reaction to move up to its speed or make a melee attack.

Agharrma

This tapir-faced, centaur-like fiend stomps forward on four heavy hooves. From its humanoid torso sprout four muscular arms, each wielding weapons of cruel precision. Its short, trunk-like snout exhales a faint acidic mist, and the backward-curving horns on its skull suggest infernal rank and purpose.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Acid Spray (Ex)
Once every 1d4 rounds, the Agharrma can expel a jet of caustic acid from its trunk in a 15-foot cone. Creatures in the area must succeed at a DC 24 Reflex save or take 6d6 acid damage (half on a successful save). The save DC is Constitution-based.

---

Fear Aura (Su)
As a free action, the Agharrma can emit an aura of supernatural dread. Creatures within 20 feet who see the Agharrma must succeed at a DC 19 Will save or become shaken for 2d6 rounds. A creature that successfully saves is immune to that Agharrma’s aura for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

---

Paralysing Gaze (Su)
As a move action, the Agharrma can fix its gaze on a single target within 30 feet. The target must succeed at a DC 19 Will save or be paralysed for 1d4 rounds. This is a gaze effect. Creatures that succeed are immune to that Agharrma’s gaze for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.

---

Fast Healing (Ex) 3
The Agharrma heals 3 hit points each round as long as it has at least 1 hp. This ability is negated by damage from good-aligned or magic weapons.

---

Trample (Ex)
As a full-round action, the Agharrma can move up to its speed and trample Medium or smaller creatures. Trampled creatures take 2d8+9 bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 25 half, Strength-based) and are knocked prone.

DESCRIPTION

The Agharrma are a rare caste of fiendish lawbringers who serve where even devils and demons fear to tread. Their unsettling form—a fusion of muscular equine bulk, four-armed humanoid torsos, and a tapir-like snout—marks them instantly as outsiders even among other outsiders. Their twisted sense of law demands submission and order, not justice.

Each Agharrma is trained in battlefield subdual, planar enforcement, and one-on-one intimidation. They are judge, jury, and executioner to chaotic beings, whom they consider criminal by nature. Their four backward-curving horns signify rank within infernal jurisdictions.

An Agharrma often leads squads of lesser enforcers such as velendrothim, forming mobile brigades of planar law. Though intelligent, they are inflexible and prone to violence at the slightest sign of resistance.

Agharrma

A thousand chills run up your spine as the hellish horror gallops towards you. It seems to be a centaur, although its human torso shows four arms instead of two and there’s a short tapir’s trunk where its human face should be. The creature has four small horns on the back of its skull, which seem to signify some kind of military rank – particularly because when it advances towards you, it does not act like it is attacking but arresting you.

The agharrma are a police force among fiends, operating in certain lower planes where not even devils or demons hold any power. An agharrma looks like a tapir-headed, fiendish centaur, with four arms on its humanoid torso and four horns on its head. They often wield vicious-looking melee weapons such as demonic clubs or pikes to enforce their law, although their size and musculature make them more than capable of handling any disturbance with their bare hands.

Agharrma and velendrothim often work together, with a single agharrma directing a squad of velendrothim against troublemakers.

Agharrma speak Abyssal, Common and Infernal.

Combat

An agharrma usually charges headlong into melee combat, with all the confidence its vast strength abilities allow. It only uses ranged weapons or special attacks when it intends to make an example of its target.

An agharrma’s weapons and natural attacks count as both lawful and evil for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

Acid Spray (Ex): Once every 1d4 rounds, an agharrma can shoot forth a jet of infernal acid from its tapir-like snout against a single target within 10 feet, as a standard action. The target suffers 6d4 acid damage from this attack; a Reflex save (DC 22, Constitution based) is allowed for half damage.

Fear Aura (Su): As a free action, an agharrma can activate an aura of imposing terror. This aura forces any creature gazing upon the agharrma to succeed at a Will save (DC 17, Charisma based) or become shaken for 2d6 rounds. If this save succeeds, the creature cannot be affected by the same agharrma’s fear aura for the next 24 hours. An agharrma can activate or deactivate its fear aura at will.

Paralysing Gaze (Su): As a move action, an agharrma can use a paralysing gaze attack against a single living target. The target must succeed at a Will save (DC 17, Charisma based) or become paralysed for 1d4 rounds.

Fast Healing (Ex): Agharrma receive normal damage from good and magic weapons.
