''Out of the host of clawing, screeching demons comes a single imperious figure with the lower body of a massive snake and the torso of a six-armed, heavily muscled female human. Her head is topped with a pair of fearsome ram-like horns, which shake in fury as she brandishes a wicked scimitar in each hand and charges towards you.''
Despite their undeniable powers, demon lords and their [[SRD:Balor|balor]] lieutenants rarely entangle themselves in the affairs of either the Blood War or the countless other conflicts they stage between themselves and others. They leave these duties to the powerful and bloodthirsty mariliths.
With its tremendous plethora of melee attacks and its ability to close on foes quickly, a marilith is a deadly foe. Most of its abilities are centered around its multiple limbs and the swords it is so fond of. A marilith is also capable of wearing a tremendous amount of jewelry, which it uses to greatly increase its abilities in place of cumbersome armor.
Despite their de facto status as commanders, mariliths have very few abilities that increase the effectiveness of their subordinates. The hierarchy of demons is only based on personal power, not the ability to create competencein others.
'''{{Anchor|Abrupt Jaunt}} ([[Sp]]):''' As an immediate action, a marilith can teleport up to Close range (65 feet by default). It cannot bring any other creatures with it.
'''{{Anchor|Aura of Primal Emotion}} ([[Ex]]):''' Mariliths project an aura of awe. This special aura has the same effect as a [[SRD:Command|''command'']] spell, with the command to fall prone for all mortals in the area. The save DC for this aura is 22.
'''{{Anchor|Dance of Blades}} ([[Ex]]):''' A marilith may move five feet as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] after every attack that it makes; if it makes attacks out of turn, it may do so as an [[SRD:Immediate Actions|immediate action]].
