Maddening cloud: At 5th level, creatures damaged by the Achaierai's Black Cloud  need to make a Fort save (DC 10+1/2 HD+Con mod) or be affected as if by an Insanity spell with CL equal to the Achaierai's HD. The Achaierai also gains the lawfull and evil subtypes, and its natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

At 10 HD, the Achaierai's black Cloud can even affect creatures immune to mind-affecting, altough they get a +5 bonus on their saves.

I just noticed that in the MM, the maddening cloud requires a fort save.
