Description
A Bird of Hell is a minor demon that has the appearance of a small, male peacock (6 inch high bird with 18 inch long brilliant tail). Meeting its gaze causes insanity (terror of darkness or similar phobia). Killing a Bird of Hell frees it to act as a Night Hag (exorcise is the better response -- lethal). Its tail fan acts as a Hypnotic Pattern spell and its chirping voice as a weak charm (fascinates the victim, keeps the victim from attacking or not attacks by the bird).
