Spined devils are found on all the planesof Hell, although they are most
common on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th. and 5th planes. Spined devils are used as
servants, couriers, andthe like,fortheyaretoosmall andweakfor most
other duties. They often herd lemures.

Attack is usually by weapon, as most spined devils carry a short military
fork 4 1/2 feet long. When airborne, theyarealsoabletousetheirtaloned
feet to inflict considerable raking damage. The spiked projections of a
spined devil burst into flame when pulled loose. Up to 12 can be loosed
by these creatures when they are flying over an opponent, each inflicting
damage as a dart when hits are successful and causing flammable
materials to burst into flame. In melee, from 1-4 spines can wound an
opponent if the devil chooses to hurl itself upon an antagonist. Hits are
automatic, but no other attack is possible.

The following spell-like powers can be used by spined devils, 1 at a time,
1 per round, at will: affect normal fires, change self, command, produce
flame, scare, summon once per day a barbed devil (5% chance of
success).
