SPECIAL ABILITIES

Bloody Claw (Su)

3/day, a belphegor forms a crimson claw draining the life force from their target with a melee touch attack (+16). If it hits, the target takes 3d6 points of shadow damage and the belphegor is healed for that much. The victim also takes 1 point of ability damage to a random stat (1d6): 1 for Strength, 2 for Dexterity, 3 for Constitution, 4 for Intelligence, 5 for Wisdom, or 6 for Charisma. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 3rd level spell (Knowledge: Local DC 21).

Freeze (Ex)

A belphegor can hold itself so still, it appears to be a statue. A belphegor that uses freeze can take 20 on its Stealth check to hide in plain sight as a stone statue.

Snatch (Ex)

A belphegor can start a grapple when it hits with both claw attacks, as though it had the grab ability. If it grapples a creature of size Medium or smaller, it squeezes each round for automatic claw damage with a successful grapple check. A belphegor can fly while holding a creature that weighs 350 pounds or less. It cannot throw creatures it is carrying, but can drop them as a free action.

Triumphant Roar (Su)

1/day, the belphegor releases a raging fierce roar, granting itself a +6 morale bonus to attack for three rounds. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 3rd level spell (Knowledge: Local DC 21).
