A high-class demon that feeds on the purest of human souls. It can manipulate the power of darkness, and it is talented at bewitching the minds of humans. The demon finds glee in seeing the pure at heart fall to despair, and will go to great lengths to ensure that its prey will suffer. It is known to root doubt into others so that a party would fight amongst themselves, but if one holds a strong heart, and faces the demon while placing trust in his allies, then the chance for victory will surely come.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Concentrating Magical Power (Su)
2/day, an erigoss can cast two spells using one standard action. Both of the spells must have the same standard action casting time. The demon can make any decisions concerning the spells independently of each other.
Entangle (Ex)
If an erigoss strikes a Medium or smaller foe with its whip, the erigoss can immediately attempt a grapple check without provoking an attack of opportunity. If the erigoss wins the check, it draws the foe into an adjacent square. The foe gains the grappled condition, but the erigoss does not.
Flaming Body (Su)
An erigoss’s body is covered in dancing flames. Anyone striking an erigoss with a natural weapon or unarmed strike takes 1d6 points of fire damage. A creature that grapples an erigoss or is grappled by one takes 5d6 points of fire damage each round the grapple persists.
Level 3 Confuse (Su)
Once every 1d4+1 rounds, the erigoss whistles a tune of confusion towards all his enemies within a 30 ft. radius of him. All creatures with a total HD that is a multiple of 3 must make a Will save (DC 24) or are inflicted with the confuse status effect. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th-level spell (Knowledge: Planes DC 27).
Level 4 Flare (Su)
Once every 1d6+1 rounds, the erigoss releases bolts of fire streaks towards all his enemies within a 30 ft. radius of him, exploding into intense flames inflicting to all creatures with a total HD that is a multiple of 4 dealing 17d8 points of fire damage and inflicting the burning status effect for 1d4 rounds. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 7th-level spell (Knowledge: Planes DC 29).
Level 5 Death (Su)
Once every 1d4+1 rounds, the erigoss can call forth a great wraith who scythes at all enemies within a 30 ft. radius of him. All creatures with a total HD that is a multiple of 5 must make a Fortitude save (DC 24) or die. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th-level spell (Knowledge: Planes DC 27).
Silence (Ex)
Slam – injury; save Will DC 24; frequency for 1d4 rounds; silence status effect; cure 1 save. The save DC is Wisdom-based
Whip Mastery (Ex)
An erigoss treats a whip as a light weapon for the purposes of two-weapon fighting, and can inflict lethal damage on a foe regardless of the foe’s armor.
