Creature 6 — daemon, fiend, unholy

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Ceustodaemons are formed from the souls of vile mortals, particularly those who took efforts to hasten their own death, their willingness shaping them into daemonic servants. Their otherworldly senses make them useful for protecting vaults and similar locations on the Material Plane.

Abilities

Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical) — Telepathy
Constant Spells — Constant Spells
Breath Weapon (divine, fire) — The ceustodaemon breathes flames in a 30-foot cone. Creatures in the cone take 7d6 fire damage (DC 24 Reflex save). The ceustodaemon and each creature that fails the save catch fire, taking 2d6 persistent fire damage. The breath weapon can't be used again for 1d4 rounds.
Drawn to Service — When bringing a ceustodaemon to another plane with effects like a Binding Circle or Planar Servitor ritual, the primary and secondary skill DCs are reduced by 5, and the ceustodaemon demands only half the normal cost for its service.
Vicious Wounds — On a successful jaws or claw Strike, the ceustodaemon viciously tears into its victim as similar wounds appear on its own body. The target takes an extra 1d6 amount of damage, and the ceustodaemon takes the same extra damage. If this extra damage to the target is doubled, due to a critical hit, the ceustodaemon takes double damage as well.
