Shedim

The Shedim are the strongest of the greater devils and live throughout the lowest planes of Hades. There they are Asmodeus' personal bodyguards and act for him in his dealings with the Arch Devils. Very occasionally he sends one into the prime material plane to reward his loyal followers or destroy his enemies, and because of these rare visits some pagan tribes and cults worship the Shedim as demi-gods.

Shedim know no fear and show no mercy. They are so dreadfully strong that they carry no weapons, instead pounding and tearing their enemies with their bare hands. One can easily lift a grown human in one hand or fling foes aside like rag dolls, and when it wants to destroy a single or especially hated enemy, it tries to seize the victim and rip it apart limb from limb. A Shedim can throw a human-sized foe 10-60 feet, and anyone it charges must save vs DEX or be knocked down and trampled for 3-24 damage. In any round when both its claws hit, it may choose to rend the victim, doing 2-24 points per minute. Shedim fly strongly but slowly and clumsily, at half their normal movement rate.

A spell caster who summons a Shedim may ask it to act as bodyguard and protector for up to an hour. Ask it for anything else, and it immediately turns on the caster.
