He was first described in Gary Gygax's article "New Denizens of Devildom: A Partial Preview of Monster Manual II," which appeared alongside Greenwood's first Nine Hells installment in Dragon # 75. But for whatever reason, Bitru never actually made it into the Monster Manual II. So here follows my 3e conversion of the lost Duke of Hell, Bitru.=====The vainglorious BITRU is a vassal and valued warlord to the Lord of Iron Rod and Staff.Bitru: male unique devil; CR 19; Large Outsider (Devil, Evil, Extraplanar, Lawful); HD 22d8+228; hp 327; Init +5; Spd 30 ft, fly 50 ft (average); AC 36, touch 27, flat-footed 23; BAB +22; Grp +34; Atk +32 melee (3d6+15/17–20, +3 greatsword); Full Atk +32/+27/+22/+17 melee (3d6+15/17–20, +3 greatsword); SA fear aura, spell-like abilities, summon devil; SQ DR 15/epic and good, darkvision 60 ft, immunity to fire and poison, regeneration 5, resistance to acid 10 and cold 10, see in darkness, telepathy 100 ft; SR 30; AL LE; SV Fort +22, Ref +18, Will +17; Str 26, Dex 21, Con 28, Int 17, Wis 19, Cha 26.Skills and Feats: Bluff +18, Concentration +29, Diplomacy +27, Intimidate +34, Knowledge (architecture and engineering) +28, Knowledge (geography) +23, Knowledge (history) +28, Knowledge (the planes) +18, Listen +19, Move Silently +15, Search +18, Sense Motive +24, Spot +29, Survival +24 (+26 to keep from getting lost or to avoid natural hazards, on other planes, or to follow tracks; +28 to find secret doors or hidden compartments); Awesome Blow, Cleave, Combat Reflexes, Great Cleave, Improved Bull Rush, Improved Critical (greatsword), Improved Toughness, Power Attack.Fear Aura (Su): Bitru can radiate a 5-foot-radius fear aura as a free action. Affected creatures must succeed on a DC 29 Will save or be affected as though by a fear spell (caster level 20th). A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by Bitru’s aura for 24 hours. Other devils are immune to the aura. The save DC is Charisma-based.Spell-Like Abilities: At will—animate dead, blasphemy (DC 25), charm monster (DC 22), create greater undead, desecrate, detect good, detect magic, fog cloud, greater dispel magic, greater invisibility, greater teleport, hold person (DC 21), magic circle against good, major image (DC 21), mirror image, polymorph, produce flame, pyrotechnics (DC 20), read magic, see invisible, suggestion (DC 21), true seeing, unhallow, unholy aura, wall of fire; 1/day—symbol of pain (DC 23), wish.

This ability is the equivalent of an 7th-level spell.Regeneration (Ex): Bitru takes normal damage from good-aligned silvered weapons, and from spells or effects with the good descriptorPossessions: +3 greatsword.Physical Description: Bitru is very muscular. His skin is shining crimson, and his horns, hooves, and wings are lustrous black. Bitru's visage is typically diabolical.Personality Traits: Vainglorious, Mirthful, Fierce.Bitru serves Dispater and leads 70 companies of erinyes in warfare. These devils are raised from the vast estates held in fief.</blockquote>
