Hamatula

Hamatula
Hamatula, E Medium Hellspawn (Devil, Extraplanar, Evil, Lawful)
Level 17 (+7)
"I will have my way with you priest! Then I will come for your flock, one after the other, every night until they all belong to my master!"
——A Hamatula, threatening a High Priest
The Hamatula appears as a speckled, sickly green hued humanoid demon covered in razor sharp spines. They are exceptionally tall, standing at just over 7 feet and weighing around 300 lbs. In addition to being ruthless melee combatants that invoke terror in the hearts of their enemies, they also possess a myriad of unholy powers which they gleefully use to destroy those of goodly alignment. The Hamatula often serves in Devil Society as a bodyguard for extraordinarily powerful demons. They delight in grabbing intruders and pinning them against their sinister spikes, watching them scream as they bleed upon their bodies. It is a sign of concern for any adventurer who must fight a Hamatula, for it means that they have almost certainly attracted the attention of a Devil of far greater power.
