SPECIAL ABILITIES

Feeblemind (Su)

Twice per day, by clattering its mandibles together, a derghodaemon can affect all creatures within 30 ft. as if by a feeblemind spell. Daemons are immune to this effect, but all other creatures must make a DC 18 Will save to resist its effects. The effect lasts for 6 rounds. This is a sonic mind-affecting effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Tear (Ex)

If a derghodaemon grapples an opponent, it automatically hits its opponent with all of its melee attacks each round following that it maintains its hold.

ECOLOGY

Environment any land and underground, lower planes
Organization solitary or team (2–4)
Treasure standard, plus 1d3 gems (100 gp value) in gizzard

The derghodaemon is one of the strongest of the daemon races, but its low intelligence has relegated it to a position of brute warrior and little more.

A derghodaemon stands 8 feet tall and weighs about 800 pounds. The derghodaemon opens combat with its feeblemind attack. Opponents are then subjected to a barrage of claws or weapons, or a combination of both.

A derghodaemon’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
