Fear Aura. Any creature hostile to Amon that starts its turn within 20 feet of him must make a DC 22 Wisdom saving throw, unless Amon is incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature is frightened until the start of its next turn. If a creature’s saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to Amon’s Fear Aura for the next 24 hours.

Magic Resistance. Amon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Magic Weapons. Amon’s weapon attacks are magical.

Innate Spellcasting. Amon’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 22). Amon can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: detect magic, dispel magic, fireball, polymorph
3/day each: fly, hold monster, suggestion, wall of ice
1/day each: limited wish, symbol

ACTIONS
________________________________________________________________________________

Multiattack. Amon makes four attacks: one with his bite and three with his mace. If disarmed, he can make two claw attacks instead of his mace attacks.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d6 + 8) piercing damage. The target must succeed on a DC 22 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned. While poisoned in this way, the target can’t regain hit points, and it takes 21 (6d6) poison damage at the start of each of its turns. The poisoned target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Mace. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 25 (4d6 + 11) bludgeoning damage. The mace threatens a critical hit on a roll of 18-20.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d8 + 8) slashing damage.

LEGENDARY ACTIONS
________________________________________________________________________________

Amon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Amon regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Call Devils. Amon summons a gelugon or two osyluth. If Amon uses this ability multiple times, the previous devils return from whence they came.

Freezing Blow Amon makes an attack with his mace. If successful, the attack deals 21 (6d6) additional cold damage.

Recover. (Costs 2 actions) Amon heals 18 (2d10 + 7) hit points, and removes any of the following conditions: Blinded, Charmed, Deafened, Frightened or Petrified.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Control Wolves (Su)

Amon can control up to 40 HD of wolves, worgs, winter wolves, or dire wolves to a range of 1 mile. This is otherwise similar to a control undead spell cast by a 20th-level sorcerer and does not count against his 40 HD summoning limit (unless Amon summoned the creatures).

Fear Gaze (Su)

A creature that successfully saves against Amon’s fear gaze cannot be affected again for one day. The save DC is Charisma-based.

GEAR

Unique Item: Craver

Amon’s unique oversized weapon Craver is a Huge +4 axiomatic thundering heavy mace.

In Duke Amon’s hands Craver deals double his Strength bonus to damage in addition to its +4 enhancement bonus when he uses it two-handed (+30 total). He is able to use Craver without penalty.

ECOLOGY

Environment any (Hell)
Organization solitary or troupe (Amon plus one 18-HD winter wolf, 4–8 bone devils, and 3–7 dire wolves or 5–12 wolves)
Treasure double standard

Amon is a vassal in service to Geryon, commanding no less than 3 legions of bone devils. He is completely loyal to the Great Serpent and never questions his post. On more than one occasion an arch-devil has tried to dupe Amon into betraying his lord, but such attempts always fail. Amon’s iron citadel Harrowcourt sits high on a flat-topped mountain within the domain of Hell’s fifth plane. It is a great, dark place filled with devils, wolves, and creatures far worse.

Amon stands 9 feet tall and weighs about 600 pounds.
