Bearded Devil

Overview

Bearded devils serve archdevils as shock troops, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder and reveling in the glory of battle. They respond with violence to any slight, real or imagined, gorging themselves on violence as their infernal saw-toothed glaives carve a path through their foes.
A bearded devil is humanoid in form, with pointed ears, scaly skin, a long tail, and claws that clearly show its fiendish nature. These devils take their names from the snakelike growths that adorn their chins, which they use to lash and poison enemies, weakening them with their virulent venom.

Devil’s Sight. Magical darkness doesn’t impede the devil’s darkvision.

Actions

Multiattack. The devil makes two attacks: one with its beard and one with its glaive.
Beard. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 feet, one target. Hit: 1d8 + 2 piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned in this way, the target can’t regain hit points. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Glaive. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 feet, one target. Hit: 1d10 + 3 slashing damage. If the target is a creature other than an undead or a construct, it must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or lose 1d10 hit points at the start of each of its turns due to an infernal wound. Each time the devil hits the wounded target with this attack, the damage dealt by the wound increases by 1d10. Any creature can take an action to wrap the wound with a successful DC 12 Wisdom (Medicine) check. The wound also closes if the target receives magical healing.
