Some of the Cacodemon Temples have permanently summoned Fiends as Temple Guardians. This Fiend is the Guardian of the Cacodemon Temple in the Seven Hills. He is a fairly average fiend, but is well-equipped with armour and magic, an advantage that most fiends do not have. He also can Vomit Acid several times a day without cost. I play that Fiends can heroically cast the Vomit Acid spell as a special ability costing 3 personal magic points each time this is used, so the extra uses are useful but not devastating.Good for wiping the shine off a new suit of iron armour, though.

Notes

The Fiend is supplied with well-made armour and wears overlapping chain and plate on legs, abdomen, chest and arms and chain and cuirboilli on the head.
When defending the Temple, the Fiend uses Ironhand, protection and fanaticism, trying to overwhelm one opponent per round and relying on his armour and regeneration to absorb damage. When outside the temple, he is more cautious and prefers to parry rather than take the risk of being slain and having to be resummoned.
Although the rules say that fiends have Blade Venom on their claws, I never use Blade venom (because I think it is too powerful) and have substituted systemic poison
