All non-evil creatures within 30 feet of the titivullus have disadvantage on Intelligence- and Wisdom-based ability checks and saving throws, as well as disadvantage on Constitution saving throws made to maintain concentration. Book Bundle. The titivullus’ bundle normally contains thirteen books. It magically replenishes the supply after finishing a long rest, and its books burn to cinders when it dies. Cursed Books. A book, scroll, or other piece of writing from the titivullus’ bundle that is in the possession of another creature creates an aura of distraction within 30 feet of the object. It does not radiate magic and loses its power when the titivullus dies. A dispel magic spell cast on the object also ends the effect. Devil's Sight. Magical darkness doesn’t impede the titivullus’ darkvision. Innate Spellcasting. The titivullus's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14). The titivullus can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: alter self, arcanist's magic aura, comprehend languages, detect magic, illusory script, invisibility 3/day each: dissonant whispers, misty step 1/day each: glyph of warding, major image, tongues Magic Resistance. The titivullus has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. ACTIONS Multiattack. A titivullus makes two melee or ranged attacks in any combination. Zapping Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage and 9 (2d8) lightning damage, and the target can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn. Book Toss. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage and 10 (3d6) fire damage. REACTIONS Misdirection. The titivullus distracts its attacker and adds 2 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the titivullus must see the attacker.

{{{description}}} What seemed to be an elderly book peddler turns into a 4-foot tall creature with scaly green skin, sharp claws, small horns, and an impish grin. It is hunched by a heavy bundle of massive tomes. Diabolical Distractors. Titivulli are low-ranked devils charged with distracting writers and copyists of sacred texts, stealing or corrupting pious writings, and spreading heretical manuscripts that lead the weaker-willed into temptation. The mere presence of a titivullus makes one error-prone, forgetful, and unfocused, and thus easier to sway from the path of righteousness. It lurks around places of learning and slowly taints the writing produced and contained in such locales. Smugglers of Blasphemous Writings. A titivullus always carries around a heavy bundle of magical books of writing containing hidden sacrilegious messages and infernal curses. It often masquerades as a child, a hunched old man or woman, or a Small humanoid, peddling its writings (or even giving them away for free) to further the agenda of Hell. Cowardly but cruel, the titivullus fights viciously when unmasked, using its innate spellcasting abilities to strike from hiding and engage in misdirection.
