When a creature that can see the fulad-zereh\xe2\x80\x99s eyes starts its turn within 30 feet of the  demon , the fulad-zereh can force it to make a DC 16  Constitution  saving throw if the  demon  isn\xe2\x80\x99t incapacitated and can see the creature. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is instantly  petrified . Otherwise, a creature that fails the saving throw begins to turn to stone and is  restrained . The  restrained  creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming  petrified  on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The petrification lasts until the creature is freed by the  greater restoration  spell or similar magic. Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can\xe2\x80\x99t see the  demon  until the start of its next turn, when it can avert is eyes again. If the creature looks at the  demon , it must immediately make the save. \n'b'  Actions \n'b'   Multiattack . The demon makes two attacks: one with its barbed whip and one with its battleaxe. \n'b'  Barbed Whip .  Melee Weapon Attack : +8 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target.  Hit : 14 (3d6 + 4) slashing damage, and, if the target is Large or smaller, it is pulled up to 25 feet toward the demon. If the target is a creature other than an undead or a  construct , it must succeed on a DC 16  Constitution  saving throw or take 5 (1d10) necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns as a barb of pure Abyssal energy lodges itself in the wound. Each time the demon hits the barbed target with this  attack , the damage dealt by the wound each round increases by 5 (1d10). Any creature can take an action to remove the barb with a successful DC 14  Wisdom  ( Medicine ) check. The barb crumbles to dust if the target receives magical  healing . \n'b'  Battleaxe .  Melee Weapon Attack : +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.  Hit : 17 (3d8 + 4) slashing damage. \n'b'  About \n'b'  Abyssal Officers . Lieutenants of demon armies, fulad-zereh tower over their allies and enemies alike.\xc2\xa0Fulad-zereh are violent and bloodthirsty demons who have fought for centuries to attain their forms and power, or who are elevated by demon lords during times of war. \n'b'  Marked for Service . The armor that bolsters a fulad-zereh is forged to reflect the demon lord to which it is bound. It has been said that some fulad-zereh will abandon their demon lords rather than being demoted after battle. These rogue demons forge their own terrifying, nightmarish armor and sell their services to those willing to pay in souls. \n'b'  Weeping Acid . A creature that touches the fulad-zereh or hits it with a  melee attack  while within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 16  Dexterity  saving throw or take 9 (2d8) acid damage.'
