Whether in life a ravenous murderer hacked them to bits for stew, a werewolf tore them limb from limb, or they simply succumbed to the elements and became worm meat, derghodaemons seek to inflict the same twisted and bloody ends upon any they come across. Unlike some daemons, derghodaemons derive little pleasure from prolonged deaths—to these fiends, the quicker they can enact a gory demise, the sooner they can turn their attentions to their next victim and repeat the violent cycle. Derghodaemons look like walking masses of razor-sharp insect claws connected to equally menacing chitinous limbs, but few linger on their appearance for long— the gaze of a derghodaemon is enough to cause others in the vicinity to experience severe visual warping. The derghodaemon''s appearance becomes more and more twisted as those who stare at it experience vicious hallucinations and ravenous urges to inflict harm on and devour others. Perhaps the most horrific attack derghodaemons can unleash upon their victims, though, is their swarming infestation—the daemons cough up a crawling, buzzing cloud of ravenous insects that cling to those targeted and chew them to death, provided the mind-numbing, half-whispered threats made by the rasp of the insects'' bodies don''t drive them to violent fury first! **__Recall Knowledge - Fiend__ (__Religion__)**: DC 30' hp: 240 hp_misc: null immunities: - confusion - death effects - swarm attacks languages: - Common - Daemonic - telepathy 100 feet level: 12 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 3d8+10 type: slashing name: claw plus_damage: - formula: null type: 1d6 evil to_hit: 25 traits: - deadly 1d12 - evil - magical - reach 10 feet name: Derghodaemon perception: 24 ranged_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d6+13 type: piercing name: swarm spit plus_damage: - formula: null type: 1d6 evil to_hit: 25 traits: - evil - magical - range 60 feet saves: fort: 21 fort_misc: null misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic ref: 24 ref_misc: null will: 22 will_misc: null senses: - darkvision - scent (imprecise) 60 feet size: Large skills: - bonus: 22 misc: null name: Acrobatics - bonus: 25 misc: null name: Athletics - bonus: 24 misc: null name: Intimidation - bonus: 24 misc: null name: Stealth sources: - abbr: Bestiary 2 page_start: '59' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 35 misc: null type: Land spell_lists: - attack_bonus: null cantrips: null constants: null dc: 32 focus_points: null misc: null spell_lists: - level: 6 spells: - misc: null name: blade barrier - misc: ×3 name: feeblemind - level: 5 spells: - misc: null name: dimension door - level: 4 spells: - misc: at will name: dimension door - level: 1 spells: - misc: good only; at will name: detect alignment spells_source: Divine Innate Spells traits: - Daemon - Fiend weaknesses: - amount: 10 misc: null type: good
