Barbed devils populate the 3rd and 4th planes of Hell.

They are excellent guards and alert at all times (never surprised).
Unauthorized creatures are immediately cast into one of the many cells to be tormented.

While these monsters carry no weapons, they have sufficient weaponry
with their horny, barbed hands and horrid tails. They are able to generate
fear (save vs. Wand is applicable) upon striking an opponent.
Barbed devils can perform any of the following, one at a time, per turn or
melee round, as applicable:
pyrotechnics,
produce flame,
hold person,
or summon another barbed devil (30% chance of success).
