Giylea

Creature 16 (rare) — archon, celestial, holy

Giyleas are known as wheel archons, named for their appearance as a flying, armor-plated wheel of fire with eyes on each spoke. They often serve as advisors due to their ability to see through lies, and they have a legendary intolerance and single-mindedness in the pursuit of the punishment of evil. Archons are guardians of Heaven and enemies of corruption. Before gods and their servants set foot in the celestial planes, archons already resided in Heaven, the original inhabitants of the realm.

Abilities

All-Around Vision — All Around Vision
+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic
All-Knowing Eyes (aura, divine, mental, visual) — 30 feet. When a creature ends its turn in the giylea's aura, it must attempt a DC 34 Will save. If the creature fails, any Deception check it attempts until the end of its next turn has its result reduced by one degree of success. If a creature is currently disguised or in a shape other than its true form when it fails its save, it also becomes Stupefied 1 until the end of its next turn.
Archon's Protection
Fiery Spokes (divine, fire, holy, spirit) — The giylea spins furiously, emitting a rain of divine fire. All creatures in a 60-foot emanation take 12d6 fire plus 5d6 spirit{12d6 fire damage and 5d6 spirit damage} with a DC 37 Reflex save. The giylea can't use Fiery Spokes for 1d4 rounds.
Focus Gaze (concentrate, divine, mental, visual) — The giylea fixes their gaze on a creature they can see within 30 feet. The target must immediately attempt a DC 37 Will save against the giylea's all-knowing eyes. If the creature is under any magical effect that disguises it or has altered its shape, the giylea attempts to counter that magical disguise effect (counteract +29, 8th rank). After attempting its save, the creature is then temporarily immune until the start of the giylea's next turn.
