Even if the spell fails to penetrate the abyssal's spell resistance, the learned spell immunity applies. ### Spell Drain (Su) If an abyssal bites a foe, the foe loses its highest level unexpended prepared spell or spell slots for this day, as if affected by _greater spellcrash_, except that affects 9th-level and epic spells . If the victim has no prepared spells or unused spell slots, they take 2 points of damage to their main casting stat. Nonspellcasters take 2 points of Intelligence damage. ### Tenacious Illusion (Su) Abyssal illusions are powered from strange and powerful shadow magic, and difficult to identify or dispel. Spellcraft and Knowledge (arcana) checks regarding have a +5 DC. Caster level checks to dispel an abyssal's illusions have a +5 DC as well. #### ecology **Terrain** Any **Organization** Solitary or hellbrigade (1 abyssal and 1d4 pit fiends) **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 41–50 HD (Large); 51–56 HD (Huge); 57–72 HD (Gargantuan) Abyssals are born of the ill-starred meeting of god and fiend. Even gods are seduced, and from the union of heaven and hell are born fiendish abominations called abyssals. All are horrors of fiendish form, pitch-black scaled humanoids standing15 or more feet tall. Vast dragonlike wings enfold each abyssal, but are unable to hide the tearing claws, the hellish maw, or the eyes from which gleam the promise of eternal damnation. Unlike many other abominations, abyssals have more freedom to roam areas of their hells of origin, though they are proscribed by divine decree from moving farther afield. This suits the various princes of the Nine Hells and the Abyss, because many abyssals are possessed of such might that they could challenge even a prince’s supremacy. For this reason, most powers of the lower planes seek to further isolate abyssals if possible, or even slaying them when they can. For their part, abyssals plot and scheme with malice unlike any other, until the time is right to tear the multiverse to ribbons. ### Combat Abyssals are mighty creatures, and crafty. If possible, they seek to neutralize spellcasting foes first, should any conflict arise. Their bite sucks the spells and minds of any it can catch. Abyssals cast blur and greater invisibility on themselves as needed during combat.
