While the beholder is a powerful creature that doesn't boast any weaknesses besides its strength ability score, the danger of facing them is severely mitigated by the random nature of its eye beam attacks.
Unfortunately, these foul, otherworldly creatures are not necessarily as deadly as you might have suspected. Compared to the rest of the devils, there's really no reason to use the barbed devil as a DM, unless you're homebrewing some added abilities.įeatured on the cover of the 5th edition Monster Manual, the beholder is a CR 13 creature and one of the most iconic D&D monsters ever created. Lastly, its attacks have a low chance of hitting considering its CR, and deals incredibly middling damage when they do.
It's got magical darkvision, but no way to create magical darkness. Its barbed hide ability allows it to deal damage to any creature grappling with it, but there's no real incentive for the barbed devil to grapple other creatures. While the barbed devil does have magic resistance, a decent AC, and a good hit point pool of 110, its features are almost useless and its attacks are relatively weak. Unlike the flesh golem, this resistance can be easily overcome by any party who silvers their weapons. Like the flesh golem, this monster relies on its damage resistances to nonmagical bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage in order to present a challenge. Also coming in at a CR of five is the barbed devil.
