Dread Fiend Murdaw 5e Monster

[Cleon]

Quite a few fiends can summon others in 5e it just tends to be a variant ability. But I instend to later make a Murdaw phase 1 who is an enemy summoner (he summons evil armours which are basically helmed horrors, and creatures called Chop Clowns which I think a similar creature exists in 5e.)

That makes sense. Murdaw summons monsters in the game in the Second Battle via Call Servants, conjuring Prickly Pranksters (aka Chop Clowns) and/or Harmours (aka EvilArmors or Devil Armors).

Wow, those Evil Armours are hard nuts to crack - Defence 120! They're not that tough once you get through the shell though, having only 64 hit points.

Do Helmed Horrors have official 5E stats yet? I could only find Fan Conversions like this one, which looks about right to me.

I guess you can just use a Shield Guardian in a pinch.

Can't think of a similar creature to a Chop Clown offhand, but as it's basically just a fast stabby humanoid it'd be simple enough to reskin an Assassin or the like.

Yep Helmed Horrors are in the Monster Manual.

For now I decided to have him ignore the summoning of the Clowns and just summon Helmed Horrors.

Dang it, I never even bothered looking in the MM! I just checked 5esrd.com, but the Helmed Horrors was AWOL so did a quick internet search and came across the version I linked too (which is the same as the one you posted).

It's because Helmed Horrors aren't in the SRD.
