They appear as tall and powerfully built humans from the waist up with snake tails and six arms. Because of Lamashtu''s prominence over other demonic deities, most pride demons encountered by mortals take female form, but they can be of any gender. Mariliths are among the greatest tacticians in the Abyss, and they have an almost supernatural knack for understanding the ripples of chaos and the unpredictable nature of demonic life. Their ability to command armies rises as much from their commanding presence as it does their ability to read into the potential results of any possible act and a sufficient understanding of the flow of entropy to allow them to predict likely outcomes. **__Recall Knowledge - Fiend__ (__Religion__)**: DC 36' hp: 380 hp_misc: null immunities: null items: - longsword (6) languages: - Abyssal - Celestial - Draconic - telepathy 100 feet level: 17 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 3d8+16 type: slashing name: cold iron silver longsword plus_damage: - formula: 1d6 type: evil to_hit: 35 traits: - evil - magical - reach 10 feet - versatile P - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 3d12+16 type: bludgeoning name: tail plus_damage: - formula: 1d6 type: evil and Grab to_hit: 33 traits: - evil - magical - reach 10 feet name: Marilith perception: 30 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The marilith makes up to six longsword Strikes, each against a different target.
