Horned devil

Horned devils, also known as malebranche, are greater devils found in the Nine Hells.

Description
Horned fiends stand 12 foot tall and are sheathed in dull red, brown scales as tough as iron. They have massive wings, giant crested horns, red eyes, clawed hands with hooked fingers, hoof-like backwards legs, and long pointed tails.

Abilities
Horned devils are resistant to cold damage and to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons that aren't silvered. They are immune to fire, poison damage and immune to the poisoned condition.


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

History
The archmage Halas bound a horned devil in the Circlebound Chamber of the Folding Halls of Halas for his research. When the Mighty Nein found him, the horned devil was held captive in a 15-foot circle dome of glowing purple light, where he had already gone mad from extended isolation. He had forgotten his name, and pleaded with them to read him a "poem" in a green book to help him remember.
