Baal
This diabolical-looking golden-skinned humanoid towers over you, dressed in battered bronze chainmail. It wields a large morningstar in its clawed hand as it stares at you. Its bovine head features large round eyes of black, a large nose, wolf-like upright ears, and a large mouth lined with razor-sharp teeth. Tiny forward-curving horns protrude from its forehead.

Baal is a duke in the employ of Great Mammon and leads 5 legions of barbed devils in his service. Baal follows Lord Mammon's orders without question but secretly plans one day to wrest the throne from his master (who has become complacent as of late). For now, though, he waits and schemes.
Baal stands 8 feet tall and weighs 500 pounds.
