Description: These Elite Barbazu Legionnaires are the tough elite shock troopers of the devil army in The Shroud. They are far more powerful than your average Barbazu. They hit much harder, and have far superior hitpoints, saving throws and spell resistance to any other you'll encounter. They possess all the same abilities as regular barbazu, but are far more dangerous due to their increased stats and their new special ability.

A bearded devil’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Bug: In Devil Assault, it counts as a Tiefling Scout^{[Unverified"Tiefling Scout" has not been verified in-game. Please verify it!]} in the Monster Manual as of Update 32.1: see Devil Assault - Tips and Misc.
