Devil, Baal (Duke of Hell)

This diabolical-looking golden-skinned humanoid towers over you, dressed in battered bronze chainmail. It wields a large morningstar in its clawed hand as it stares at you. Its bovine head features large round eyes of black, a large nose, wolf-like upright ears, and a large mouth lined with razor-sharp teeth. Tiny forward-curving horns protrude from its forehead.
