Archons are celestials from a lawful good-aligned plane.
Archons speak Celestial, Infernal, and Draconic, but can speak with almost any creature because of their tongues ability.

Archons generally prefer to meet a foe head-on if it is prudent to do so, but if outmatched, they do what they can to even the odds (usually by employing hit-and run tactics or standing off and engaging a foe with magic before moving into melee).
Archon Traits: An archon possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature?s entry).

• Darkvision out to 60 feet and low-light vision.
  
• Aura of Menace (Su): A righteous aura surrounds archons that fight or get angry. Any hostile creature within a 20-foot radius of an archon must succeed on a Will save to resist its effects. The save DC varies with the type of archon, is Charisma-based, and includes a +2 racial bonus. Those who fail take a ?2 penalty on attacks, AC, and saves for 24 hours or until they successfully hit the archon that generated the aura. A creature that has resisted or broken the effect cannot be affected again by the same archon?s aura for 24 hours.
  
• Immunity to electricity and petrification.
  
• +4 racial bonus on saves against poison.
  
• Magic Circle against Evil (Su): A magic circle against evil effect always surrounds an archon (caster level equals the archon?s Hit Dice). (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in an archon?s statistics block.)
  
• Teleport (Su): Archons can use greater teleport at will, as the spell (caster level 14th), except that the creature can transport only itself and up to 50 pounds of objects.
  
• Tongues (Su): All archons can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level 14th). This ability is always active.
  

• Lantern Archon
  
• Hound Archon
  
• Trumpet Archon
