Description
The ox-headed demon is a major servant of the masters of Hell. It is sent to Earth on special missions and usually has a brood of lesser demons to serve it. Shamans disagree as to whether the ox-headed demon is an individual or simply a type of more powerful demon. None, however, doubt its prowess.
The ox-headed demon is a huge mass of muscle covered with filthy hair. As its name indicates, he has an enormous bovine head, complete with a big brass ring through its nose (said to remind it that it too has a master). The pelt of the ox-headed demon is full of small parasites, which can be shaken free and commanded to find any item or person. They unerringly locate the quarry, if it is within 2 miles of the demon’s location, and return within the hour.
The ox-headed demon’s weapon of choice is an enormous trident that inflicts 1d12 damage against any opponent. It can also choose to charge with horns lowered. This attack can target two adjacent opponents, one with each horn, and inflicts 3d6 damage on each target.
In addition to its listed magic resistance, the ox-headed demon takes only half damage from fire-based spells.
