Actions

Multiattack. The demon makes three attacks: two with its claws and one with its sting.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit:8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage.

Sting. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit:13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 17 (5d6) poison damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Lore

Deep in the desert, far from the protection of the Hekma and the safety of Naktamun, lies a place called Ifnir, the Demons' Nest. The people of Amonkhet believe that the God-Pharaoh banished all the demons of this plane to the desolation of Ifnir as punishment when they rose up in rebellion against him. Some say that the angels carry the worst dissenters into the heart of Ifnir, which is a fate far worse than merely being abandoned amid the scouring sands.
