Mammon, the lord of hell's third layer, has long been a power-hungry schemer. He is the epitome of selfishness, greed, and lust.
The archdevil lives m a golden, jewel-encrusted palace that some have claimed looks more like a tomb than a home. Mammon's palace is within the city of Minauros, forever sinking into an endless, fetid swamp.
Mammon's natural form was once that of a bloated pit fiend. Although he can still adopt that form, Asmodeus has altered him so that his natural form is now that of Huge serpent with a muscular humanoid torso, sporting two large arms and a massive humanoid head. Hiss mouth has pointed teeth and two large snake fangs.
Mammon's symbol is a pair of red scaled hands open and looming over a diamond-shaped, black gem.
Mammon uses his size and power to crush his enemies, overwhelming and overcoming them in a straigtforward manner. He enjoys charming foes into thinking he is their ally and then betraying them with a devastating surprise attack.
Constrict (Ex): With a successful grapple check, Mammon can crush a grabbed opponent, dealing 2d6+19 points of bludgeoning damage.
Fear Aura (Su): As a free action, Mammon can create an aura of fear in a 20-foot radius. It is otherwise identical with a fear spell (caster level 15th; Will DC 35 negates). If the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected again by his fear aura for 24 hours. Other baatezu are immune to aura.
Improved Grab (Ex): If Mammon hits a Medium-size or smaller opponent with a tail slap attack, he deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity (grapple bonus +55). If he hits with the tail slap, he can also constrict in the same round. Mammon has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use his tail to hold the opponent (-20 penalty on grapple cheek, but Mammon is not considered grappled). In either case, such successful grapple check he makes during successive rounds automatically deals tail slap damage.
Poison (Ex): Mammon delivers his poison (Fortitude save DC 39) with each successful bite attack The initial and secondary damage is the same (1d6 points of Constitution drain).
Spell-Like Abilities: At will - blasphemy, charm monster, desecrate, detect good, detect magic, discern location, dispel magic, enthrall, fireball, hellfire storm, hold person, magic circle against good, major image, produce flame, see invisibility, suggestion, teleport without error, unholy aura, unhallow, wall of fire; 1/day - phantasmal thief, symbol (hopelessness), wish. Caster level 20th; save DC I8 + spell level.
Touch of Greed (Su): Any crcamrc Lhilt Marnmon touches with his hands must make a successful Will save (DC 35) or be overcome with greed. The creature attacks another random creature within 60 feet (possibly Mammon) and attempts to take it's valuables as soon as possible. This effect lasts for 1d4 rounds, and it is otherwise treated as suggestion. Mammon can refrain from using this effect when he desires.
Alternate Form (Su): At will, Mammon can take form of a pit fiend as if using a ahapechange spell. This alternate form lasts indefinitely.
Baatezu Traits: Mammon can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language. In addition, he can see perfectly in darkness of any kind, even that created by a deeper darkness spell. Mammon is immune to fire and poison and he has acid resistance 20 and cold resistance 20.
Regeneration (Ex): Mammon takes normal damage from holy and blessed weapons of at least +4 enhancement.
Summon Baatezu (Sp): Three times pet day, Mammon can automatically summon 4 barbazu or hamatulas. Alternatively, he can attempt to summon 3 cornugons, 2 gelugons or 1 pit fiend with an 80% chance of success.
Feats: Mammon is unable to use his Multiattack feat in his normal form because he lacks the requisite three natural weapons. He can use it in his pit fiend form.
Possessions: Mammon uses a Gargantuan +4 shortspear.
Mammon lusts for power-he craves a station and position above the one he currently holds, for he has no affection for Minauros, the layer he currently rules. Once the ally of Dispater and Mephistopheles, he was quick to betray them both at the end of the Reckoning, and thus no archdevil trusts him. To hang onto his current position, it is said that Mammon had to embarrassingly throw himself at Asmodeus's feet. Asmodeus changed Mammon's form, either to punish him or as a sign that Mammon had changed his ways and would not betray Asmodeus again. Currently, Mammon seeks support in the form of cultists, servants, and allies. Although most of the major players in the Nine Hells will not listen to his entreaties, some of the second-tier beings of influence, such as the witch-queen Zbavra have entered into Mammon's court.
This archdevil has a diabolic army, made up mostly of osyluths and hamatulas, commanded by gelugons. He also commands a small unit of powerful mind flayers that serve as information-gatherers for him. Mammon owns a nightmare with maximum hit points and a pack of larger than normal hellhounds. He takes these creatures with him when he adopts pit fiend form and hunts within his domain.
Zbavra began as a cleric of Hextor, and eventually came to the Nine Hells to serve Hextor directly. However, she got caught up in the politics of hell and soon found that her lust for power and influence got her far in the hierarchy. In fact, she soon found herself one of the most influential mortals in all of hell. Now she has thrown in with Mammon, hoping that an allegiance with an archdevil will get her even farther. She lives in Minauros and attends Mammon's court regularly.
