Spell-Like Abilities: At will -- charm person, desecrate, detect thoughts, shapechange (to a humanoid their own approximate height and weight only), and suggestion; 1/day -- dimension door. These abilities are as the spells as cast by an 8th-level sorcerer (save DC 12 + spell level).

Vampiric Touch (Su): Touch; adds a number of hit points to the alu-demon's current hit points. Hit points gained equal damage dealt. This cannot raise the alu-demon's hit point total above her total, undamaged hit points (that is, she does not gain bonus hit points from this ability).

Demon Qualities (Ex): Immune to poison and electricity; cold, fire, and acid resistance 20

Telepathy (Su): Alu-demons can communicate with any creature within 100 feet that has a language.

The Alu-Demon first appeared in S4 The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth (Gary Gygax, 1982).

Chaotic Subtype

A subtype usually applied only to outsiders native to the chaotic-aligned Outer Planes. Most creatures that have this subtype also have chaotic alignments; however, if their alignments change they still retain the subtype. Any effect that depends on alignment affects a creature with this subtype as if the creature has a chaotic alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment. A creature with the chaotic subtype overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields were chaotic-aligned (see Damage Reduction).

Evil Subtype

A subtype usually applied only to outsiders native to the evil-aligned Outer Planes. Evil outsiders are also called fiends. Most creatures that have this subtype also have evil alignments; however, if their alignments change, they still retain the subtype. Any effect that depends on alignment affects a creature with this subtype as if the creature has an evil alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment. A creature with the evil subtype overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields were evil-aligned (see Damage Reduction).
