Degholau
Believing its honeyed lies only feeds this fiend's power, but catching it out in an open falsehood turns that same deceit into a wound.
A demon woven entirely from lies, the degholau exudes the sweet rot of dying flowers and twists every truth around it into self-doubt. It is most dangerous to those who believe its honeyed deceptions—and most vulnerable to those who catch it in a falsehood.
The degholau gains a +1 status bonus to saves vs. magic.
In play

Veil of Lies (aura, mental, olfactory) 15 feet. A degholau exudes a faint scent of rotting wildflowers in its aura—an odor that dulls the mind.
