Special
Death Gaze
When a creature that can see the nabasu's eyes starts its turn within 30 feet of the nabasu, the nabasu can force it to make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw if the nabasu isn't incapacitated and can see the creature. On a failure, the creature loses a hit die. A creature that has lost its last hit die to the nabasu's death gaze has disadvantage on all death saves for the next 24 hours, and if it dies within that time, it rises as a ghoul in 1d4 rounds under the nabasu's control. Ghouls created in this way become free willed if the nabasu that created them dies. Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can't see the nabasu until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the nabasu in the meantime, it must immediately attempt the save. While averting its eyes, any attacks on the nabasu are done at disadvantage.
Special
Innate Spellcasting
The nabasu's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). It can cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
Special
Magic Resistance
The nabasu demon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Special
Paralysis Aura (1/day)
As a bonus action, the nabasu releases a cloud of magical energy that can paralyze its foes. This cloud fills a 10-foot cube, and all creatures within that cube must succeed at a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or become paralyzed for one minute. A paralyzed creature may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
The horned head of the nabasu has a cruel and vaguely humanoid face that appears trapped in a constant state of rage and pain. Its ever-pervasive, glowing golden stare is known to strike its foes dead at its mere gaze. Their bodies are tall and wire thin, with gray reptilian skin and large leathery wings and spindly arms that end in hooked razor-sharp talons.
The majority of nabasu encountered outside of the Abyss are nabasu demonlings. These proud creations of the demon lords are sent to the Material Plane to feast on the souls of the innocent until they reach maturity and can re-enter the Abyss on their own. Once there, they devour the physical hearts and mortal souls of their prey, growing stronger and deadlier with each third victim they destroy. Nabasu derive great pleasure from torturing and killing other creatures.

Ability
+1 to all saves vs. magic
Ability
Consume Death
(concentrate, divine, necromancy, visual) The nabasu focuses their death-stealing gaze upon a single target they can see within 30 feet. The target must immediately attempt a Fortitude save against death-stealing gaze. Critical Success The creature is unaffected and the nabasu suffers starvation vulnerability. Success The creature is unaffected. Failure The creature is affected by death-stealing gaze and becomes drained 1. If the creature was already drained 1 by the death-stealing gaze before attempting the save, a failed save increases the value of the drained condition by 1, to a maximum of drained 4. The nabasu gains 10 temporary Hit Points, and the drained creature is temporarily immune until the start of the nabasu's next turn. Critical Failure As failure, but the creature increases the amount of drain by 2.
Ability
Death-Stealing Gaze
(aura, divine, necromancy, visual) 30 feet. When a non-demon ends its turn in the aura, it must attempt a DC 23 Fortitude save. If it fails, it becomes drained 1.

Ability
Starvation Vulnerability
A nabasu denied food suffers painful backlash as their demonic nature feeds on their own corrupted spirituality. If a nabasu's Consume Death is disrupted (such as by a fighter using Disruptive Stance) or a creature resists the effect with a critical success, the nabasu takes 4d6 mental damage.
Ability
Stolen Death
A creature that dies while suffering drain from a nabasu's death-stealing gaze rises as a ghoul the next midnight.
