The erinyes are the devils common to Hell's second plane as well as the
kind most commonly sent forth to garner more souls. They are female but
can appear as male. They are armed with a magical dagger which drips a
caustic venom and causes terribly painful wounds (save versus poison or
faint for 1-6 melee rounds). They also carry a rope of entanglement with
which to bind their victims. Erinyes can be struck with normal weapons.
They can, ot will, cause fear in all who look at them (saving throw versus
wand is applicable). In addition, they have the power to do any one of the
following during any turn or melee round, as applicable: detect invisible,
locate object, invisibility, polymorph self, produce flame, or summon
another erinyes (25%chance of success).

Erinyes are strong -18/01, but no hit/damage bonuses are applicable.
They will pursue evil persons unceasingly in order to take them alive into
Hell. They will sometimes bargain with others, hoping to tempt them into
evil doing.

Aerial Combat: 21", class C.
Erinyes will slash with their envenomed dagger or use their rope of entanglement to foul opponents' wings and make them fall.

I have had both sorts.
 

But never one good enough to catch egregious misspellings of common words like "dero", "dinichthys", "doppelganger", "erinnyes", "lemur", "tarasque", and "Tartarus"? 
 

Frankly, sir...

You are a bore.

Did it ever occur to you that some words are not as others have spelled them so as to make the attached monster information unique?

That aside, I was speaking primarily of fiction editors.
Have you ever written any fiction that was published?
