Actions

MultiattackThe devil makes three melee attacks: two with its fork and one with its tail. It can use Hurl Flame in place of any melee attack.

ForkMelee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) piercing damage.

TailMelee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d8 + 6) piercing damage. If the target is a creature other than an undead or a construct, it must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or lose 10 (3d6) hit points at the start of each of its turns due to an infernal wound. Each time the devil hits the wounded target with this attack, the damage dealt by the wound increases by 10 (3d6). Any creature can take an action to stanch the wound with a successful DC 12 Wisdom (Medicine) check. The wound also closes if the target receives magical healing.

Hurl FlameRanged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 150 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (4d6) fire damage. If the target is a flammable object that isn't being worn or carried, it also catches fire.

The stat block tells you what it can do. This tells you what to do with it.

1Multiattack: The devil makes three melee attacks: two with its fork and one with its tail. It can use Hurl Flame in place of any melee attack.

2With a 60 ft. flying speed it can stay out of melee reach; a party with no ranged answer will chase it all fight.
