Special Rules

Demonic Resistance

Hezrou has a 5+ Ward Save against all non-magical attacks. It also takes half damage from fire, poison, and necromantic effects.

---

Aura of Stench

At the start of each enemy turn, all living models within 6" must pass a Toughness test or suffer a -1 to hit penalty until their next turn due to the overwhelming, rotting miasma surrounding the Hezrou.

---

Brutal Claws

The Hezrou makes 3 Attacks with its massive claws. These count as Strength 5, and cause 2 Wounds on a natural 6 to wound. Critical Hits roll on a custom table:

• 1–3: Extra Wound
• 4–5: Target suffers -1 Toughness until the end of battle
• 6: Target is stunned regardless of injury result

---

Demonic Rage

If reduced to 2 or fewer Wounds, the Hezrou enters a frenzied state:

• Gains +1 Attack and +1 Movement
• Must always charge the nearest visible enemy
• Ignores Psychology, including being pinned

---

Summoned From the Abyss

At the start of battle, roll a D6:

• On a 6, the Hezrou's summoning falters, and it arrives at the end of Turn 2 instead.
• Otherwise, it is deployed normally.

The Hezrou can only be banished (removed permanently) if slain by a Priest, Blessed Weapon, or via a ritual relic or scenario-specific mechanic.

Scenario Roles / Usage Hooks

• Demonic Convergence: Hezrou is drawn to wyrdstone saturation zones. Use in scenarios where warp energy distorts reality.
• Unstable Ally: May be controlled temporarily by a warband with a chaos relic or daemon pact—but the control breaks unpredictably.
• Abyssal Riftspawn: If a scenario features a rift to another plane (or a failed summoning), this demon may appear mid-battle as a wild threat.
• Repelled by Morr: Cannot willingly enter the Temple of Morr or cross hallowed ground without passing a Leadership test on 3D6.
