The first time Baalzebul is bloodied, all conditions and effects he is suffering end for him, all of his abilities recharge, and his Elite Actions and Traits are active for 1 hour.Banishment. When Baalzebul drops to 0 hit points, and he is not in Maladomini, his body is destroyed but his essence travels back to his domain in Avernus, and is unable to take physical form for a time.Infernal Might. While in Hell, Baalzebul's attacks ignore all resistances of creatures with less than 18 hit dice and he scores a critical hit on a roll of 18 or greater.Limited Magic Immunity. Unless he wishes to be affected, Baalzebul is immune to cantrips and he has advantage on saving throws against all other spells and magical effects and any creature that makes a spell attack against Baalzebul has disadvantage on the attack roll.Lord of Flies. Baalzebul can command all insects within 1 mile of him as if he had cast the spell dominate beast on them, except he only needs to use a bonus action to exert precise control. In addition, while an insect is within 120 feet of him it gains a +10 bonus to its attacks and they are considered magical, included in disgorge insects.Lord of Maladomini. While in Maladomini, Baalzebul can’t be surprised or changed into another form against his will, he can’t be targeted by divination magic, perceived through magical scrying sensors, and is immune to any effect that would sense his emotions or read his thoughts. Additionally, Wisdom (Insight) checks made to ascertain his intentions or sincerity have disadvantage.ACTIONSMultiattack. Baalzebul can use his Disgorge Insects if it is available. He then makes three melee attacks. Baalzebul can replace one of these attacks with a Horrifying Gaze attack or cast an at will spell.Biter. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 10 ft, one target. Hit: 25 (4d6 + 11) magical slashing damage plus 14 (4d6) acid damage and the target must make a DC 24 Constitution saving throw or be dazed until the end of its next turn.Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 5 ft, one target. Hit: 15 (2d6 + 8) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) necrotic damage and the target must make a DC 24 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone, pushed 10 feet, or grappled, Baalzebul's choice.Horrifying Gaze. Ranged Spell Attack: +16 to hit, range 300ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d10) psychic damage and the target must make a DC 24 Charisma saving throw. On a failure the target is frightened and dazed. The target may make an additional saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effects on a success. Baalzebul has advantage on attacks against targets frightened by this attack.Disgorge Insects (recharge 5-6). Baalzebul exhales ten swarms of flying infernal insects from his mouth that fill a 10-foot radius sphere centered on Baalzebul. Each swarm uses the <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/301415-swarm-of-insects-wasps" target="_blank">Swarm of Insects (Wasps)</a> stat block, except with a +13 to hit with their Bite attack. Each swarm acts as on the same initiative and otherwise acts as a whole. The swarms act as ally of Beelzebub and obey his commands. A swarm of insects remains until it dies, Beelzebub dies or is banished, or until he dismisses them as a bonus action.The whole swarm provides 3/4 cover to Baalzebul and his allies and 1/2 cover when half or fewer of the swarms remain.Innate Spellcasting. Baalzebul’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 24, +16 to hit with spell attacks).
