Truth Vulnerability

A glabrezu's lies sustain them, and the truth can destroy them. Whenever a revelation effect counteracts or reveals the glabrezu's illusions or the glabrezu fails a save against an effect that would prevent them from lying (such as zone of truth), the demon takes 3d6+4 mental damage. They take this damage only once per effect, even if the effect reveals multiple illusions or prevents multiple lies.

Captive Rake One Action

Requirements A creature is grabbed in the glabrezu's pincer.

Effect The glabrezu pulls the grabbed creature up to 5 feet closer, then makes two claw Strikes against it. Those Strikes count as one attack when determining a treachery demon's multiple attack penalty, and the penalty doesn't increase until after both Strikes.

Steady Spellcasting

When a reaction would disrupt a glabrezu's spell, the demon can attempt a DC 17 flat check, avoiding the disruption on a success.

Sudden Betrayal

A glabrezu can always use Deception when rolling initiative as long as they're aware of at least one opponent before initiative is rolled. When using Deception for initiative, the demon gains a +2 circumstance bonus to Deception.

Tentacle Trip Reaction

Trigger A creature within 15 feet of the lie-master uses a manipulate or move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using

Effect The creature must succeed at a DC 34 reflex save or be knocked prone by the lie-master's clockwork tentacles.

Treacherous Veil

A glabrezu's Illusory Disguise can allow it to appear as a creature of any size.

Twisted Desires (divination, divine)

Once per month, a glabrezu can grant a mortal humanoid the effects of a Miracle spell granted by an Abyssal patron, though the glabrezu always perverts the Miracle according to their own treacherous nature.

Grab One Action

Requirements The monster's last action was a success with a Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or it has a creature grabbed using this action.

Effect The monster automatically Grabs the target until the end of the monster's next turn. The creature is grabbed by whichever body part the monster attacked with, and that body part can't be used to Strike creatures until the grab is ended. Using Grab extends the duration of the monster's Grab until the end of its next turn for all creatures grabbed by it. A grabbed creature can use the Escape action to get out of the grab, and the Grab ends for a grabbed creatures if the monster moves away from it.

Divine Rituals (DC 36, +26 to hit)

1st Level: Abyssal Pact

Glabrezus are looming behemoths who revel in the act of twisting mortal desires into their ultimate ruin, betraying and manipulating as easily as they breathe. Desires granted by a glabrezu always come to fruition in the most destructive way possible, turning a wish or hope into a potent and devastating act of betrayal-although the long-term repercussions are not always immediately apparent. For example, a struggling weapon smith might wish for fame and skill at their craft, only to find that their best patron is a cruel and sadistic murderer who uses the weapons in bloody sprees. Or a lonely widower might have his desire granted in the form of a lost love returned to "life" as a vampire. Glabrezus are nothing if not creative in addressing a mortal's needs.

These massive demons have enormous pincers and a pair of smaller humanoid arms sprouting from their chests, but their size belies their skill at magic, and they possess formidable innate spells. Treachery demons arise from the souls of mortals engaged in treason and deception.
