Advancement: ---
Lord of the 999th layer of the Abyss, Evestus, also known as the Sky Beast, is an intellectual as well as a barbaric killer and torturer. Evestus patrols the skies of Dionus, also known as the Ash Wastes, from his floating fortress, Gal'Dumac. He mainly stays out of the affairs of the other demon lords, but sometimes comes to odds with Juiblex. He detests slimes and oozes, thinking them unfit to be even considered above tanar'ri by the Faceless Lord, and often tries to make trouble for Juiblex's oozes by the form of extermination squads that enter the Slime Pits and wipe out as many oozes as they can quickly and then retreating back to the Ash Wastes.
Evestus is a gruesome site to behold, having the upper body of a muscular humanoid with clawed four-fingered hands, and the lower body of a serpent with black scales. His head resembles a black-furred goat with blood red eyes and sharp, dagger-like teeth. He has a pair of huge ash colored bat wings, which sprout from his back that enables him to fly.
Evestus rarely leaves Dionus himself, except only on the most important of matters, preferring to let his underlings do his work for him. He has many demons under his command, including most of the demons that Juiblex ran out of the Slime Pits. Almost all types of flying fiends call him master and pay him homage. Occasionally though, with mortal help, about once every thousand years or so, Evestus will make a trip to the Prime in the form of a beautiful human, either male or female depending on his mood, to corrupt the innocent, destroy villages, and cause general anarchy. When doing so he is vulnerable to attacks from rivals, and so he never travels alone. He always has disguised nearby his Wing of Balors waiting to defend their lord or join in the fun.
COMBAT
Evestus usually lets his lackeys do the fighting for him, but when pushed his rage is a site terrible to behold. Space permitted, Evestus will take to the skies and attack with his spell-like abilities, breath weapon, and fly-by attacks. If unable to take to the skies, Evestus will use brute strength and attempt to swallow an opponent whole, as well as using his breath weapon and spell-like abilities as need be. Before a fight Evestus usually summons fiends to his aid.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, Evestus must hit a Large or smaller opponent with his bite attack. If he gets hold he can try to swallow the foe whole.
Swallow Whole (Ex): Evestus can try to swallow a Large or smaller opponent by making a successful grapple check. The swallowed creature takes 4d8+7 points of crushing damage plus 7 points of acid damage from Evestus' gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using claws or a small or tiny slashing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 20). Once the creature exists, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.
Evestus' gizzard can hold 2 Large, 4 Medium-size, 8 Small, 16 Tiny, 32 Diminutive, or 64 Fine or smaller opponents.
Breath Weapon (Sp): Once every 1d4 rounds Evestus can loose a 120ft cone of greenish fire, dealing 20d6 point of damage; reflex save (DC 39) for half.
Item Master (Ex): Although not an actual spellcaster, Evestus can use any magic item; even spell completion items such as wands and scrolls. Unlike Demogorgon, he does not create items.
True Seeing (Ex): Evestus is under the constant effects of a true seeing spell.
Aura of Fear (Su): Evestus is surrounded in a dreadful aura of fear and death. All those within 120ft of the Sky Beast with 10HD or less are automatically affected as though by the fear spell cast by a 20th level sorcerer. Those with 11HD or more must make a will save (DC 39) or become affected as well. The fear effect lasts as long as the opponent remains within the area of affect. If an opponent fails his save and leaves the area, and then reenters, he must make the save again. If the save is successful, the opponent is immune to Evestus' aura for a period of 24 hours.
Alternate Form (Su): Evestus can take the form of a humanoid at will as if affected by a polymorph any object spell cast by a 20th level sorcerer. Evestus mainly uses a human form for his visits to the Prime.
Summon Tanar'ri (Sp): Once per day, Evestus can automatically summon 1d8 vrocks, 1d6 hezrous, 1d4 glabrezu, 1d3 nalfeshnees, 1 maralith, or 1 balor.
Tanar'ri Traits: Evestus can communicate telepathically with any creature within a hundred feet that has a language. He is immune to electricity and poison, and he has an acid, cold, and fire resistance of 20.
Spell-like Abilities: At Will – bestow greater curse, blasphemy, contagion, deeper darkness, desecrate, detect good, detect law, detect thoughts, fear, fly, greater dispelling, read magic, suggestion, telekinesis, teleport without error, tongues (self only), unhallow, unholy aura, unholy blight, vile lance, chain lightning, distort summons, wall of ice, and wall of fire. 1/day – befoul, symbol (any), apocalypse from the sky, and mind rape.
Caster level 20th; save DC 19 + spell level.
