Burning devil

Burning devils were devils that sought nothing more than to share their torment with others.

Description
Burning devils resembled gaunt and withered humanoids covered in fire. This fire was normally orange in color, but older and more powerful burning devils were covered in white or even black fire.

Personality
Burning devils had little emotion beyond their hatred of living beings.

Abilities
Burning devils had few major abilities. They were naturally resistant to fire, and were capable of short-range teleportation (only about ) of themselves. The more powerful whitefire burning devils were additionally resistant to radiant energy, while blackfire burning devils were instead resistant to necrotic energy.

Combat
Burning devils attacked with their claws or by blasting opponents with bursts of their fire.

When a burning devil was killed, it died in a burst of fire that damaged all nearby creatures.

Society
Burning devils were native to the Nine Hells, where they were common in Avernus. They were often used by more powerful devils as shock troops. When not controlled by such a devil, they roamed aimlessly and burned everything in sight.

There were known to be three types of burning devil: the weakest and most common variety, which had orange flames, the stronger whitefire burning devils, and the strongest variety was the blackfire burning devils. Whitefire burning devils were created from the souls of corrupt priests and hypocrites, while blackfire burning devils were created from the souls of necromancers and mass murderers.

History
In the late years of the 15 century DR, the Ashmadai cells of Neverwinter were known to employ burning devils.
