Eye Devil
Medium fiend (devil), lawful evil
Art: James Bousema
On rare occasions, a beholder's sleeping mind drifts to places beyond its normal madness. When it dreams about the Nine Hells, a beholder might end up inadvertently selling its soul to a devil within the dream. When the beholder dies, its soul arises in a fiendish form, its eye stalks replaced by diabolical horns. An eye devil continually sees visions of each of the Nine Hells, and the effects of its rays are determined by whichever hell it is seeing at the time.

1. Avernus Ray: a ray of stygian water. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 16 Intelligence saving throw or have it's Intelligence and Charisma scores reduced by 1d4. If this reduces either score to 0, the target suffers the effects of the feeblemind spell. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest.

4. Phlegethos Ray: a ray of hellish fire. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 27 (6d8) fire damage.
5. Stygia Ray: a ray of freezing cold. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 16 (3d10) cold damage and become petrified for until the end of its next turn. While petrified in this way, it is vulnerable to fire damage.
6. Malbolge Ray: a ray that causes a pillar of stone to burst from the ground under the targeted creature, as if the bones of the earth spell were cast on that point. The creature must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or be lifted by the pillar. A creature can choose to fail the save.
