ABOUT

This large, sinuous creature has a lithe and gaunt body, hooves, and claws the size of spades. Down her back, a worm-like ridge culminates in a long, barbed tail. More hideous still is that in place of a head, atop a spiked collar, rises the torso of a woman like a puppet made from a perfect corpse. Pale and beautiful as a statue, the partial body bears no head nor limbs of its own, but rather staring eyes where the stumps terminate.

The first bellatrix shaped her visage to something she believed would be pleasing to mortal eyes in order to trick or beguile them. Failing in this, she became a horrific abomination whose presence horrifies and repulses those who encounter her. When a fiend becomes a bellatrix, she becomes a quick and fearsome monster, one that roams the country side like a wolf able to move with incredible speed and travel long distances. A bellatrix kills beasts, humanoids, and any other lesser creatures alike that are unfortunate enough or slow enough to be caught in the clutches of her terrible claws. For maximum effectiveness, a bellatrix prefers to regroup with nearby fiends before striking at an important or dangerous target.

Legions. Bellatrix fiends typically serve as generals of the Annwn, Dis, Gehenna, and Sheol legions.
