Actions
^^^^^^^

:bi:`Multiattack`. The devil makes two attacks with its chains.

.. index::
   single: grappled; by chain devil chain
   single: restrained; by chain devil chain

:bi:`Chain`. *Melee Weapon Attack:* +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.
*Hit:* 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage. The target is :ref:`grappled` (escape DC
14) if the devil isn't already grappling a creature. Until this grapple
ends, the target is :ref:`restrained` and takes 7 (2d6) piercing damage at the
start of each of its turns.

:bi:`Animate Chains (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest)`. Up to four
chains the devil can see within 60 feet of it magically sprout
razor-edged barbs and animate under the devil's control, provided that
the chains aren't being worn or carried.

Each animated chain is an object with AC 20, 20 hit points, resistance
to piercing damage, and immunity to psychic and thunder damage. When the
devil uses Multiattack on its turn, it can use each animated chain to
make one additional chain attack. An animated chain can grapple one
creature of its own but can't make attacks while grappling. An animated
chain reverts to its inanimate state if reduced to 0 hit points or if
the devil is :ref:`incapacitated` or dies.

Reactions
^^^^^^^^^

.. index:: frightened; by chain devil unnerving mask

:bi:`Unnerving Mask`. When a creature the devil can see starts its turn
within 30 feet of the devil, the devil can create the illusion that it
looks like one of the creature's departed loved ones or bitter enemies.
If the creature can see the devil, it must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom
saving throw or be :ref:`frightened` until the end of its turn.
