.. index:: frightened; by pit fiend aura

:bi:`Fear Aura`. Any creature hostile to the pit fiend that starts its
turn within 20 feet of the pit fiend must make a DC 21 Wisdom saving
throw, unless the pit fiend is :ref:`incapacitated`. On a failed save, the
creature is :ref:`frightened` until the start of its next turn. If a creature's
saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to the pit fiend's
Fear Aura for the next 24 hours.

:bi:`Magic Resistance`. The pit fiend has advantage on saving throws
against spells and other magical effects.

:bi:`Magic Weapons`. The pit fiend's weapon attacks are magical.

:bi:`Innate Spellcasting`. The pit fiend's spellcasting ability is
Charisma (spell save DC 21). The pit fiend can innately cast the
following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: *detect magic, fireball*

itself on a success.
