Special Traits

  • Burn. As a bonus action, the demon gate causes its body to be wreathed in flame. At the start of each of the demon gate’s turns, each creature within 5 feet of it takes 10 (3d6) fire damage, and flammable objects in the aura that aren’t being worn or carried ignite. A creature that touches the demon gate or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 10 (3d6) fire damage.
  • Death Throes. When the demon gate dies, it explodes, and each creature within 30 feet of it must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 70 (20d6) fire damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much damage on a successful saving throw. The explosion ignites flammable objects in that area that aren’t being worn or carried.
  • Innate Spellcasting. The demon gate’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 20). It can cast the following spells, requiring no verbal or material components.
  • Magic Resistance. The demon gate has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
  • Magic Weapons. The demon gate’s weapon attacks are magical.
  • Rejuvenation. If a demon gate is destroyed, it gains a new body in 24 hours, regaining all its hit points and becoming active again.

Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the demon gate can’t grapple another target.
