Marilith
Simple Monster, XP 10800
Level 27 (+10)
"You display the audacity to summon me, wizard, but you do not comprehend my true nature. I am not one of many, I am the only one, because I have slain all the others."
——Marilith
The Marilith is among the most feared and powerful of demons, rivaled only by the Balor in strength and cunning. It appears as a large, beautiful human woman from the waist up with six powerful arms. From the waist down, it has the body of a mighty serpent. It wields a host of weapons, equipped with 6 jagged, nightmarish longswords as well as a longbow. Given that the Marilith has six arms, it can attack with its swords all at once with expert precision. Similarly , it is capable of shooting three arrows almost simultaneously, one for each pair of hands. It is no surprise that the Marilith has often been referred to as a demonic unit for practical terms by its enemies. The Marilith’s very nature is that of a predator, an instinct that lends itself well to its common role as a military commander in demon armies. While the Marilith certainly has an agenda of its own, it has often been seen on two sides of a conflict between powerful extraplanar beings, and sometimes even mortals, playing both sides depending on who provided the most lucrative offer on a particular day. Ordinarily, this sort of behavior would breed resentment and sometimes betrayal from its former employers, but The Marilith is almost always too powerful and lethal a demon to be marked as an enemy by anyone who wishes to remain alive, so its twisted machinations are tolerated by any who would require its services.
