Unlike other devils, erinyes appear attractive to humans, resembling very comely women or men. An erinyes stands about 6 feet tall and weighs about 150 pounds.

Erinyes speak Infernal, [[SRD:Celestial|Celestial]], and Draconic.

===Combat===
Erinyes prefer to engage in combat from a distance. They use ''[[SRD:Charm Monster|charm monster]]'' to distract or disorganize their opponents, then rain down fiery arrows from above.

An erinyes’s [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]], as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]].

'''[[SRD:Entangled|Entangle]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Each erinyes carries a stout rope some 50 feet long that entangles opponents of any size as an ''[[SRD:Animate Rope|animate rope]]'' spell ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 16th). An erinyes can hurl its rope 30 feet with no range penalty. Typically, an erinyes entangles a foe, lifts it into the air, and drops it from a great height.

'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' At will—''[[SRD:Greater Teleport|greater teleport]]'' (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), ''[[SRD:Charm Monster|charm monster]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 19), ''[[SRD:Minor Image|minor image]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 17), ''[[SRD:Unholy Blight|unholy blight]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 19). [[SRD:Caster Level|Caster level]] 12th. The save [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''''[[SRD:Summon|Summon]] Devil'' ([[SRD:Sp|Sp]]):''' Once per day an erinyes can attempt to summon 2d10 [[SRD:Lemure|lemures]] or 1d4 [[SRD:Bearded Devil|bearded devils]] with a 50% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 3rd-level spell.

'''True Seeing ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Erinyes continuously use [[SRD:True Seeing|true seeing]], as the spell ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 14th).
