The aura can be dispelled,but the leonal can create it again as a free action on itsnext turn.Skills: Leonals receive a +4 racial racial bonus onBalance, Hide, and Move Silently checks.DEMONUridezu (Tanar’ri) Armanite (Tanar’ri) Goristro (Tanar’ri)Medium-Size Outsider Large Outsider Huge Outsider(Chaotic, Evil) (Chaotic, Evil) (Chaotic, Evil)Hit Dice: 7d8+7 (38 hp) 5d8+15 (37 hp) 16d8+96 (168 hp)Initiative: +3 (Dex) +0 –1 (Dex)Speed: 40 ft. 40 ft., fly 40 ft.

The tanar’ri are the mostpowerful group of demons and form the core of manydemonic armies.Uridezu, armanites, and goristros have little incommon other than a shared delight in destructive violence.They are utterly depraved, greedy, and fickle. Inother words, they’re perfectly suited to the plane theycall home.These demons speak Abyssal, Celestial, and Draconic.COMBATDemons are fierce fighters, never giving quarter orasking for it (except as a trick or for perverse amusement).They’ll often “play” with weaker opponents, torturingthem before devouring them. Against strong foes,they deliver the best attacks they can, then flee ratherthan put themselves at undue risk.
