Infernal Blade. Melee weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d8+8) slashing damage. This weapon is a vicious, barbed sword that deals an additional 10 (3d6) fire damage on a hit.

Flame Lash. Ranged weapon Attack: +12 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (2d10+8) fire damage. A long whip of flame that ignites the target on a hit, dealing an additional 10 (3d6) fire damage at the start of its next turn.

Hellfire Burst (Recharge 5-6). The Infernal Commander unleashes a burst of hellfire in a 20-foot radius centered on itself. Each creature in that area must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 55 (10d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Legendary Actions

The Infernal Commander can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The creature regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Lair

Regional Effects

The region containing the creature's lair is warped by its magic, creating the following effects:

The infernal terrain warps the fabric of reality, causing every creature that begins its turn within 1 mile of the commander's lair to feel the weight of despair, imposing disadvantage on saving throws against being frightened.
Fiendish creatures within 1 mile of the lair that die return as lesser devils within 1 hour.
Fires within 1 mile of the lair burn with hellish flames, dealing an extra 1d6 fire damage.

If the Infernal Commander dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.

Lore & Description

It delights in torment and chaos, and its mere presence on the battlefield can sway the tide of combat. Known for its strategic acumen and brutal tactics, it is a feared entity among both mortals and celestial beings.
