Traits
Magical darkness doesn't impede Baalzebul's darkvision.
Baalzebul regains 20 hit points at the start of his turn. If he takes radiant damage this trait doesn't function at the start of his next turn. Baalzebul dies only if he starts his turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.
Insects don't attack Baalzebul, and he can issue orders to them.
If Baalzebul fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.
Baalzebul has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
A creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of Baalzebul must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution saving throw or have the poisoned condition until the start of its next turn. On a successful save, a creature is immune to this stench for 1 hour.
Actions
Baalzebul uses Heart of Pestilence (if available), then makes three Slam attacks.
Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d6 + 9) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.
Baalzebul causes refuse and caustic liquid to spill from the ground at a point he can see within 300 feet. Each creature in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a DC 21 Constitution saving throw. Targets take 36 (8d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Creatures that fail the save have the poisoned condition for 1 minute.
Baalzebul channels pestilence into his body, sickening creatures within 50 feet that can see him. Sickened creatures must make a DC 21 Charisma saving throw, followed by a DC 21 Constitution saving throw. Failing the Charisma save makes a creature have the frightened condition, while failing the Constitution save makes a creature weak. While weakened, a creature deals half damage on melee attacks. Both effects last for 1 minute or until a greater restoration spell or similar is cast.
Bonus Actions
Baalzebul magically teleports, along with any equipment he is wearing and carrying, up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space he can see.
Legendary Actions
Baalzebul makes a Slam attack.
Baalzebul uses Displace.
Baalzebul disgorges a swarm of biting flies at a point he can see within 300 feet of himself. Each creature within a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a DC 21 Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 44 (8d10) piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The biting flies persist for 1 minute, or until Baalzebul uses this ability again. Creatures that enter the flies' area or end their turn inside it must repeat the saving throw.
Baalzebul summons an allied bone devil in an unoccupied space that he can see.
