I set out to make a half-fiend rust monster, I thought it would be quite cool with dragonfly-like wings ambushing the party from hiding in a huge underground cavern, it seemed like it would make an awesome scary encounter and what is more evil than a rust monster in the mind of a typical adventurer ?
The creature ended up a bit different, increased HD slightly, changed the DR from DR Magic to Good, Changed it's spell-like abilites and enhanced resistances and immunities slightly to mirror those of Daemons deeming it fitting for a creature of corruption and decay. Also I added some acid damage to the bite attack and removed the smite good ability.
It ended up being a bit more powerful than a typical half-fiend, but I think it still qualifies as a CR 5 creature. I'd like some feedback or suggestions on this creature, diabolical GMs are free to drop it in their games ofcourse.
