Invisibility and darkness are irrelevant, though the creature still can't discern ethereal beings. The creature does not need to make Spot or Listen checks to notice creatures within 120.Darkvision: This creature can see in complete darkness, up to 120.Improved Grab (Ex): When this creature hits with its claws, it attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.Scent (Ex): The creature can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range. The creature can pinpoint locations only within 5 feet. This creature can follow tracks by smell with a Wisdom check (DC 10, +2 for every hour the trail is cold).Spell-like Abilities: At will-Deeper Darkness, Enervation*, Evard's Black Tentacles, Fear*, Greater Shadow Evocation, Invisibility, Shades, Teleport w/o Error, Vampiric Touch; 3/day Energy Drain*, Finger of Death*, Transmute Flesh to Shadow (R&R)*; 2/day Control Undead, Horrid Wilting*, Shadow Storm (R&R)*; Shadow Walk, 1/day Hellball, Stalkerspell (SS) as a 28th level sorcerer (Spell DC 21+Spell level, or 27+Spell level for spells of the Necromancy school).  Constant-True Seeing.SYNTHIS-Advanced Half-Fiend/Half-Night Hag, Survivor 5Medium-size Outsider (Evil)Hit Dice: 16d8+5d6+84 (242 hp)Initiative: +10 (+6 Dex, +4 Improved Initiative)Speed: 20 ft, Fly (average) 20 ftAC: 26 (+6 Dex, +10 natural)Attacks: Bite +24 meleeDamage: Bite 2d6+12 and disease (Demon Fever)Face/Reach: 5 ft by 5 ft/5 ftSpecial Attacks: Disease, Night Hag Spell-like Abilities (caster level 8), Half-Fiend Spell-like Abilities (21st level caster), Dream HauntingSpecial Qualities: Immunities (fire, cold, charm, sleep, and fear effects, poison), Acid/Cold/Electricity Resistance 20, SR 25, damage reduction 20/+3, darkvisionSaves: Fort +18, Ref +20, Will +18Abilities: Str 26, Dex 23, Con 18, Int 23, Wis 18, Cha 22Skills: XXXFeats: Alertness, Combat Casting, Empower Spell-like Ability, Improved Initiative, Mounted Combat, Quicken Spell-like Ability, Spell Focus (Necromancy), Spell PenetrationChallenge Rating: 18Alignment: Neutral evil Darkvision: This creature can see in complete darkness, up to 60 ft..Survivor Powers: Uncanny Dodge (Dex bonus to AC, can't be flanked), Improved Evasion, Damage Reduction 5/-M'JEKK-Advanced Half-Black Dragon/Half-Night Hag, Survivor 5Medium-size Outsider (Dragon, Evil)Hit Dice: 16d10+5d8+126 (326 hp)Initiative: +3 (+3 Dex)Speed: 20 ftAC: 26 (+3 Dex, +13 natural)Attacks: Bite +27 melee, 2 claws +25 meleeDamage: Bite 2d6+11+1 (vile) and disease (Demon Fever), claw 1d4+5+1 (vile)Face/Reach: 5 ft by 5 ft/5 ftSpecial Attacks: Breath weapon (6d4 5-5-60 ft.
