Glabrezu

Glabrezu are one of the most powerful types of demonic tanar'ri. A glabrezu tempts its victims into ruin by luring them with power or wealth. Their imposing stature radiates authority and control, which they use to sway mortals into accepting their gifts for a price. They use lies and deception to destroy the lives of all whom these demons meet.
==Ecology==
===Characteristics===
This demon's broad, muscular body is as large as a giant, with two pairs of arms; one set is humanoid ending in hands, while the other is monstrous, ending in a pair of crab-like pincers. Its canine-like head is horned and it has a muzzle full of sharp teeth. A glabrezu stands 15 feet tall and weighs 5,500 pounds.
===Nature===
Despite their physical prowess, glabrezus prefer to work behind the scenes, both on the Material Plane and in The Abyss. They rarely lead, but rather act as advisors, chief lieutenants, and spies for more powerful demons. Every glabrezu has an impressive list of grudges, secret agendas, and long-term schemes, some of which may take centuries or millennia to come to fruition.
Glabrezus do not offer pleasures of the flesh, but tempt their victims into ruin by luring offers of power, wealth, and respect undreamed of by even the most ambitious person. Strangely, they are unable to change, or polymorph, their frightening appearance, so they usually visit mortals in secret. They are most commonly summoned directly by a mortal; such as ambitious human wizards or drow priestesses who hope to make a bargain. Sometimes they find a potential victim on their own, presenting their 'gift' to this person whether or not they want it.
===Combat===
Glabrezu prefer subterfuge to combat. However, if their attempts to entice or deceive fail, these enormous demons attack with a vengeance. They follow a confusion attack with melee attacks, hoping to finish off wounded foes with chaos hammer or unholy blight.
