Deskayv
From Monsterbook
This towering being is indigo-scaled with two large horns, bat-like wings, and powerful clawed hands and feet. Four glowing green eyes glare at you while it's impossibly-long, anaconda-like tongue thrashes about from it's mouth.

True Seeing (Su): A deskayv is under a constant true seeing effect.
Profane Shield (Su): The aura of evil surrounding a deskayv gives it a constant +9 profane bonus to it's AC (bonus = 1/2 HD). Also any non-overfiend striking the deskayv in melee with a non-reach weapon takes 6d6 points of infernal damage (a protection from evil effect reduces this damage by half).
Regeneration (Ex): Deskayvs take normal damage from good-aligned weapons and from spells with the good descriptor.
Unholy Tongue (Su): The deskayv has an enormous tongue with a 20 ft. reach. Attacks with its tongue is treated as if from a huge creature (giving it a +8 strength bonus and +4 bonus to grapple checks). Any creature it strikes in melee must succeed on a Fort save (DC 26) or be nauseated for 1d4 rounds. The save DC is consitution-based.
Acid Spray (Su): Every 1d4 rounds the deskayv can spray a 60 ft. line of acid from it's tongue. The line can originate from any space within reach of the tongue. The acid inflicts 10d6 points of damage, although a Reflex save (DC 26) reduces the damage by half. Any creature killed by the deskayv's acid is completely dissolved leaving behind no body. The save DC is constitution-based.
Madness Gaze (Su): 30 ft. range gaze attack, Will save (DC 27) or confused as the spell. The save DC is charisma-based.
Summon Fiend (Sp): Once per day a deskayv may automatically summon 2d4 fiends of CR 7 or less, 1d3 fiends of CR 8 to 14, or one fiend of CR 15 or higher (but not an overfiend). This ability is equivalent to a 9th-level spell.
