Devil’s Sight.

Magical darkness doesn’t impede the scribe’s darkvision.

Innate Spellcasting.

The scribe devil’s spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 15). The devil can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: detect magic, illusory script 3/day each: dispel magic, zone of truth 1/day each: glyph of warding, modify memory

Magic Resistance.

The scribe has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

Multiattack.

The scribe devil makes two attacks: one with its claws and one with its tail.

Claws.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage.

Tail.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) piercing damage, and if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or become blinded as its eyes turn black and fill with infernal ink. The condition can be removed with a greater restoration spell or similar magic. Alternatively, a creature with a healer's kit can drain the ink from a blinded creature's eyes with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Medicine) check. If this check fails by 5 or more, the attempt to drain the ink instead removes the blinded creature's eyes and the creature takes 21 (6d6) piercing damage.
