Labartu (Major Demoness)

Description

The "overwhelmer" as she is known as, she is often seen, or accompanied by other powerful demons (Ahazu, and Labasu). They work together for mutual protection from other, more powerful, demon lords. In battle, she usually carries a longsword +4 and can pommel for 1-4 pts dmg. Any creature hit, that is not of demonic or outer-planar origin, or of god-like status will lose 2-12 pts of strength (1-4 pts., if a save is made). (Such loss is permanent, although a wish or restoration spell should reverse the effects.) For every point of strength drained by her, she gains 20% of a full strength point to add to her 18/56 initial strength rating. Damage bonus, as well as to hit bonuses apply (for those DMs that include to hit bonuses for demons). This effect, however, is temporary for her, (unfortunately, not for the victem), lasting only 1 day from her initial strength gain.

She also has the following spell-like powers she can cast, once per round, at will, at 12th-level ability: teleport, alter self, fear (in a 20' r.), darkness, disintegrate (1/day), pyrotechnics, charm person, suggestion, animate dead, and may gate in a type I demon (70% chance of success).

She appears like a cross between an lion and a female human. Much like the shape of that of a wemic (MM2), although she also has wings and horns.

Tartarus

(Although not a demon, Tartarus can be found frequenting the abyss (he enjoys destroying demons, for the fun of it). Most demons fear him, and almost all are on unfriendly terms with him (with the exception of Pazuzues.)

Tartarus is the (ex)-solar of torments over the realms of Tartarus.

Whether he is the physical manisfistation of the plane's power, or is just a powerful being of the plane is uncommonly unknown. He leads a lower-planar race called the Tartaruchians (natives of Tartarus) that he, as well as members of that race have powers in common with each other. They are all immune to cold, poison, takes full damage from lightning and magic missiles, and takes half damage from gas, fire, and acid. They also may, at will, use alter self, teleport(no error), and all divination spells. They are affected by magical weapons or weapons made with nickel (No wonder Kostchtchie hammer has inlays of nickel in it.) He himself, is affected by weapons having a magical enchantment of +2 or better. In combat, he carries a huge, flaming, (yet cold) two-handed sword +5 that automatically drains 3 levels per hit (a save can be made to lessen the effect, although a level is lost even if the save is made).

He may also opt to use any of the following spell-like powers, once per round (yet rarely needs to), in leiu of his melee attack:

change self, poison, protection from good, wither(1/day), disintegrate(1/day), stinking cloud, cloud kill, prismatic sphere(1/day), deathfog(3/day), phantasmal force, symbol of fear(3/day), darkness, cone of cold(3/day), lightning bolt(1/day), chaos, astral spell(1/day), fascinate, and dispel illusion.

All spell-like powers are made at 20th-level ability.

As far as spells, and spell-like powers affecting him, no spell of 6th-level or under may affect him. Even then, no spell, or magical ability may imprison, stun, or sever him. Any spell that still can affect him must pass through his 85% magic resistance and no power or permanent loss may affect him for more than 7 days (unless he is slain).

Tartarus appears similar (but not exactly like) a bright solar(qv. MM2). Skillenting colors (usually) surround his unholy and neuter features.
