Traits

Chaotic Evil. The balor radiates a Chaotic and Evil aura.

Death Throes. When the balor dies, it explodes. Each creature within 30 feet makes a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 52 (15d6) fire damage on a failed save or half damage on a success.

Fire Aura. At the start of the balors turn, each creature within 10 feet takes 10 (3d6) fire damage. A creature that touches the balor or hits it with a melee attack takes 10 (3d6) fire damage.

Magic Resistance. The balor has advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.

Legendary Resistance (2/Day). If the balor general fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. When it does so, it wards itself with its sword. The lightning that wreathes the sword winks out. The lightning reappears at the beginning of the balors next turn. Until then, the balors lightning sword deals no lightning damage, and the balor can't use Avenging Bolt.

Fast Reflexes. The balor general may take two reactions per round, but not more than one per turn.

Teleport. The balor magically teleports to a space within 120 feet that it can see.
