Winged Demon Lord Forces¶

Rules system: Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition (monster stat blocks).

Lore: these creatures are described as the forces of a winged demon lord on Demonic Forms under Creatures.

Legacy design material, not canon for play. Eleven 4e stat blocks for the forces of an unnamed winged demon lord, with no narrative: the only 4th Edition material in the archive. They are the statistical appendix to the creatures registered under Creatures, and are reproduced as written.

The source is Winged Demon Lord Forces (S521, 2018). S516 (2013) is an identical older copy.
The source's embedded creature pictures and 4e power-type icons are stripped. Two recharge icons showing die faces five and six are written "on 5 or 6". The separator icon between a power's name and its keywords or frequency is written "·".
Several blocks follow published 4e monsters closely. The Cthalaxx's resistance line still calls the creature "the sibriex", and the Assassin Imp's languages include Supernal; both are kept as written.
