Description: Suulomades <Arraetrikos Right-hand> is the Raid boss controlling The Subterrane - Central raid zone. He is eventually encountered in A Vision of Destruction (introduced in Module 7). Also later makes an appearance in The Tower of Despair (introduced in Module 9). The Tower Version has minor differences. If you know the specific differences, create a new page with them listed. He is a devil, sub-type Horned Devil. Also plays a non-active (and non-target) role in The Chronoscope.

Suulomades has two entries in the Horned Devil Monster Manual - once for A Vision of Destruction and its legendary variant, and once for his appearance in Tower of Despair.

Editor Note: This refers to Arraetrikos, but currently all raid Pit Fiends and Horned Devils share the same DR stats.

Originally Posted by (former developer) Eladrin Every Pit Fiend and Horned Devil raid boss' fortification is currently 50% on normal, 65% on hard, and 80% on elite. Epic Velah's fortification is 50%. Epic Lailat's fortification is 80%. Even the Lord of Blades left his heavy fort item at home, and is sitting at 80% (even though he really should have the Improved Fort feat). 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.
