Description: Known as the "General of Shavarath" (later Lord of Shavarath, when he succeeds Horoth as leader of the devil legions), Arraetrikos is the raid boss of The Shroud raid, introduced in Module 6. Arraetrikos is encountered in Phases 4 and 5 of the raid.

He is often nicknamed "Harry" when discussing "Harry Beaters," weapons containing both Silver and Good that will bypass his damage reduction.

For a while, Arraetrikos counted as a Horned Devil called Captain of Shavarath in the Monster Manual. This no longer occurs.

Arraetrikos appears in a number of other quests, including the quests in adventure pack The Devil's Gambit (where he makes brief appearances in each quest stealing a powerful magical artifact), The Devil's Details (where he makes a short speech to his minions before departing for the Shroud), and Tower of Despair, where he is, for once, on the party's side. He also guest starred as the reward NPC for the fiendishly-themed second and seventh seasons of the Hardcore League.

For much of DDO's existence, Arraetrikos served as the game's most prominent villain, with many of the story's most dramatic events (the attack on the Marketplace, the creation of the Mysterious Remnants and the appearance of the many Codex Pages) either directly caused by his plans to conquer Eberron, or in some way connected to them. His involvement in the story came to a close with the events of The Codex and the Shroud, in which the archdevil's plot to unleash the power of the reassembled Codex failed at the cost of several of his best lieutenants and the destruction of most of his army. While not yet destroyed, Arraetrikos has yet to reappear in DDO's ongoing story, and the mantle of primary villain has been taken by the Archlich Vecna in recent updates.

If people are working together to reduce fortification, those numbers are able to be significantly lowered or even reduced all the way to zero, and all of the physical DPS goes up.
