{{5e Ability|Fear Aura|Any creature hostile to the pit fiend that starts its {{srd5lc|Turn}} within 20 feet of the pit fiend must make a {{SRD5|DC}} 21 {{SRD5|Wisdom}} {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}}, unless the pit fiend is {{srd5lc|Incapacitated}}. On a failed save, the creature is {{srd5lc|Frightened}} until the start of its next turn. If a creature’s saving throw is successful, the creature is {{srd5lc|Immune}} to the pit fiend’s Fear Aura for the next 24 hours.}}

{{5e Ability|Magic Resistance|The devil has {{srd5lc|Advantage}} on saving throws against {{srd5lc|Spell}}s and other magical effects.}}

{{5e Ability|Magic Weapons|The devil's {{srd5lc|Weapon Attack}}s are magical.}}

{{5e Ability|Innate Spellcasting|The devil’s {{srd5lc|Spellcasting Ability}} is {{SRD5|Charisma}} ({{srd5lc|Spell Save}} DC 21). The pit fiend can innately cast the following spells, requiring no {{srd5lc|Material Component}}s: <br />
At will: ''{{srd5lc|Detect Magic}}, {{srd5lc|Fireball}}'' <br />
3/day each: ''{{srd5lc|Hold Monster}}, {{srd5lc|Wall of Fire}}''}}

|actions=
{{5e Ability|Multiattack|The devil makes four attacks: one with its bite, one with its claw, one with its mace, and one with its tail.}}

{{5e Ability|Bite|''{{SRD5|Melee Weapon Attack}}:'' +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ''Hit:'' 22 (4d6+8) {{srd5lc|Piercing}} damage. The target must succeed on a DC 21 {{SRD5|Constitution}} saving throw or become {{srd5lc|Poisoned}}. While poisoned in this way, the target can’t regain {{srd5lc|Hit Point}}s, and it takes 21 (6d6) {{srd5lc|Poison}} damage at the start of each of its turns. The poisoned target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.}}
