General Rules: Monsters - Demonic Creature (Template)

Demonic Creature (from the Unholy Warrior's Handbook)

Any corporeal creature of nongood alignment are viable candidates for the demonic template. Magical beasts and animals acquiring this template become outsiders, but otherwise the creature's type does not change. Creatures with this template use all of the base creature's statistics and special abilities, except as noted here:

Special Attacks: A demonic creature retains all the special attacks of the base creature and gains the following features:

• Smite Good or Law (Su): Once per day per 5 Hit Dice, a demonic creature may make a normal attack dealing additional damage equal to its Hit Dice (to a maximum of +20) against a good or lawful foe.
