Paralysis Bite (Ex): Those hit by an uridezu's bite must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 14) or be paralyzed for 2d6 minutes.

Whip Tail (Ex): An uridezu can wield its tail like a whip, generally to trip or disarm opponents. Even if it fails a trip or disarm attempt, the uridezu cannot lose its tail.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will - darkness, desecrate, detect good; 1/day - unholy blight. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 14th-level sorcerer (save DC = 12 + spell level).

Rat Empathy (Ex): Normal and dire rats instinctively recognize an uridezu as their lord and master. This gives the uridezu a +4 racial bonus on checks when influencing the animal's attitude and allows the communication of simple concepts and commands such as "friend," "foe," "flee," and "attack."

Summon Tanar'ri (Sp): Once per day, an uridezu can attempt to summon another uridezu with a 40% chance of success.

Many tanar'ri are loath to use their summon ability because doing so leaves them in the debt of the tanar'ri they summon. They only risk owing such a debt if their own lives are at risk.

Tanar'ri Qualities

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).

Extraplanar Subtype

A subtype applied to any creature when it is on a plane other than its native plane. A creature that travels the planes can gain or lose this subtype as it goes from plane to plane. This book assumes that encounters with creatures take place on the Material Plane, and every creature whose native plane is not the Material Plane has the extraplanar subtype (but would not have when on its home plane). An extraplanar creatures usually has a home plane mentioned in its description. These home planes are taken from the Great Wheel cosmology of the D&D game (see Chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide). If your campaign uses a different cosmology, you will need to assign different home planes to extraplanar creatures.

Creatures not labeled as extraplanar are natives of the Material Plane, and they gain the extraplanar subtype if they leave the Material Plane. No creature has the extraplanar subtype when it is on a transitive plane; the transitive planes in the D&D cosmology are the Astral Plane, the Ethereal Plane, and the Plane of Shadow.

Tanarri Subtype

Most demons encountered outside of the Abyss are tanar'ri. The most populous of the demon subtypes, the tanar'ri form the largest and most diverse group of demons. They are the unchallenged masters of the Abyss at this time. The first tanar'ri were forged from the souls of the first humanoids drawn to the Abyss. Most tanar'ri incorporate humanoid features into their forms as a result of their close ties to the mortal realm.

Traits: A tanar'ri possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature's entry).
