Rotbite

Rotbite was a horned devil who terrorized the Volkumburgh Vale in the mid-12 and 14 centuries DR,

Abilities
Rotbite was capable of casting the following spells, even while he was possessing the unique golem Awtawmatawn: charm person, suggestion, infravision, know alignment, animate dead, pyrotechnics, produce flame, ESP, detect magic, and wall of fire.

He was also capable of casting fear in a radius and slow on any creature within  of it, though while inside Awtawmatawn he was unable to summon other horned devils to his aid.

Due to Rotbite's natural magic resistance, the spell detect evil could not recognize his presence within Awtawmatawn.

History
Sometime in the mid-12, Valmous the Shaper, a member of the College of Shaping Magics, was hired by King Proster Obarskyr to design a new variant of stone golems to help expedite his ambitious building projects. However, while in the final stages of constructing the first one Valmous misfired a spell, which summoned Rotbite on to the Prime Material plane and he quickly possessed the inert Awtawmatawn.

While possessing the golem he proceeded to slaughter all the residents of the College, who were unprepared for such an attack, except for Valmous who managed to escape to the nearby College of Rune Magics. Sensing that college over the mountains, Rotbite moved towards it. The injured Valmous, with the aid of the college's students, managed to destroy the Awtawmatawn, but not before it had destroyed the other college.

Valmous, now sensing the horned devil's presence trapped within the fragments of the Awtawmatawn, tasked the adepts with scattering his pieces across the Volkumburgh Vale. Then, using a combination of their rune magic and his magic items, the rune adepts placed him into a healing stasis, where he awaited the day someone would attempt to recreate the golem. Two hundred years later, the wizard Amelior Amanitas discovered an arm of the fabled golem and proceeded to hire a group of adventurers to track down the other pieces.

Those adventurers went on to recover one of the golem's lost hands, hidden beneath a fountain in the village of Volkumburgh. Then with the unseen aid of Rotbite they uncovered an eye and arm of the golem within a secret cavern of the College of Rune Magics. And by disturbing those fragments, the adventurers awoke Valmous. Finally, the adventurers retrieved two halves of the golem's leg from the College of Shaping Magic and his head from the Temple of the Dragon Oracle.

A few days after the collected parts were turned in to Amelior, the awakened Valmous and his disciples attacked the village alongside an army of neanderthals and undead. During this siege Rotbite finally regained full control of the Awtawmatawn and began to rampage around Volkumburg, destroying Amelior's workshop in the process. Ultimately, the golem was destroyed after it fell through a large hole hidden beneath the Crimson Wyrm inn.
