Description
Infernal beings are monstrosities with otherworldly or extra-dimensional origins. These beings are universally vile and at odds with the powers of goodness. There are several distinct races or groups of infernal beings, generally grouped by their origin. They might be called demons, devils, or other related terms. If reduced to 0 Hit Points in the mortal world, an infernal is not destroyed but disappears in a pall of greasy black smoke and terrifying scream, banished back to its home dimension or plane. Once banished, it cannot return to the mortal world for an entire year. To truly destroy one it must be reduced to 0 Hit Points while in its home dimension.
Pazzu (or wind demons) are a type of famine demons that are sometimes unleashed upon a population by an evil priest or wizard. They stand seven feet tall and appear as the combination of several animals; the head of a large horned animal, the upper body of an ape, the lower body of an eagle, and huge bat wings. They can create storms strong enough to damage harvests and take great pleasure in destroying cultivated fields. They can cast Insect Plague once per turn and Animate Dead at-will, both as a 12th-level Cleric, preferring to Animate Dead animals.
A pazzu can inflict all five of its attacks while in the air and will fight on the ground without its talons only if its wings are damaged. They are immune to non-magic weapons, normal fire, poison, and cold. They take half damage from fire.
