A high-ranking demon that commands its lower-class minions in the demon world, where rank and caste is everything. It feeds on negative human emotions such as fear and hatred. Usually it leaves the dirty work to its minions, but it will make an occasional appearance when it senses a particularly strong sense of dread.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Concentrating Magical Power (Su)
1/day, a greater demon 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 a greater demon strikes a Medium or smaller foe with its whip, the greater demon can immediately attempt a grapple check without provoking an attack of opportunity. If the greater demon wins the check, it draws the foe into an adjacent square. The foe gains the grappled condition, but the greater demon does not.
Flaming Body (Su)
A greater demon’s body is covered in dancing flames. Anyone striking a greater demon with a natural weapon or unarmed strike takes 1d6 points of fire damage. A creature that grapples a greater demon or is grappled by one takes 3d6 points of fire damage each round the grapple persists.
Level 3 Confuse (Su)
1/day, the greater demon 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 19) or are inflicted with the confuse status effect. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th-level spell (Knowledge: Planes DC 27).
Level 5 Death (Su)
1/day, the greater demon 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 19) or die. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th-level spell (Knowledge: Planes DC 27).
Whip Mastery (Ex)
A demon 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.
