Those devils serve for 1 minute per HD and then disapear. They can't use their own summoning abilities. You can't summon new devils while old ones remain (you may dismiss any number of them as an immediate action).

Infernal Wound: At 6th level a victim damaged by the Horned Devil's tail loses 2 additional hit points each round. The wound does not heal naturally and resists healing spells. The continuing hit point loss can be stopped by a DC 10+ HD+Con mod Heal check, a cure spell, or a Heal spell. However, a character attempting to cast a cure spell or a Heal spell on a creature damaged by a horned devil’s tail must succeed on a DC 10+ HD+Con mod caster level check, or the spell has no effect on the injured character. A successful CL check automatically stops the continuing hit point loss as well as restoring hit points.
Infernal Bite: At 8th level the Horned Devil gains a Bite natural attack dealing 2d8+1/2 Str mod. Whenever it hits an opponent with it, the Horned Devil may discharge his Dispel Good or Dispel Chaos SLA (if it was already under its effects) as an immediate action on the victim.
Stun: At 10th level whenever a horned devil hits with a spiked chain attack, the opponent must succeed on a DC 10+1/2 HD+Str mod Fortitude save or be stunned for 1d4 rounds. Creatures immune to Stun are Dazed instead. This ability is a function of the horned devil, not of the spiked chain.
Hell Guardian: At 11th The Horned Devil can make an extra number of Aoos per turn equal to its Str mod and can make Aoos on enemies protected by Cover and/or Concealment. In addition its Fireball and Lighting bolt SLAs no longer have a cap.
Hate Chain: At 12th level any Spiked Chain held by the Horned Devil gains an enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to 1/3 HD plus the Unholy, Keen and Axiomatic properties. Those bonus only last while the Horned Devil holds the weapon.
Fear Aura: At 13th the Horned Devil can radiate a 5-foot-radius fear aura as a free action . A creature in the area must succeed on a DC 10+1/2 HD+Cha mod Will save or be affected as though by a Fear spell (caster level=HD). A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same Horned Devil’s aura for 1 minute. Other Devils are immune to the aura. In addition creatures failing their saves against the Horned Devil's Fireball or Lighting Bolt SLAs are Frightened for 1 round.
Stop Right There: At 14th level the Horned Devil's can make Aoos against enemies moving inside its reach with abilities that would normally avoid Aoos such as Tumble, but the Horned Devil takes a -4 penalty on such attacks. Creatures damaged by Aoos from the Horned Devil while on the ground automatically stop, while Flying creatures hit by its Aoos drop to the ground. In addition the Horned Devil always gets an Aoo against an enemy trying to teleport while inside its reach. If that Aoo hits the teleport is stopped.
Hell Chain: At 15th level creatures damaged by the Horned Devil's spiked chain for 1 round cannot make 5-feet steps and their movement speeds are all halved. In addition the Horned Devil ignores all DR, Hardness and miss chances from enemies when making Aoos, including Mirror Image effects and similar.
Dishonor Guard: At 16th level the Honed Devil has proven he belongs to the top of the Devil military hierarchy and can pick one of the lower options! Except those pesky Pit Fiends that still rank higher, but don't mention that anywhere near the Horned Devil unless you enjoy spiked chains to the face.
Hell Elite- The Horned Devil becomes fully immune to Fire and can fullattack as a standard action. In addition it gains +1 to attack and damage rolls for each other lawful or evil creature threatening the target. The Horned Devil can attack as a free action any non-Pit Fiend inside its reach who mentions or suggests the Horned Devil isn't the most badass Devil in existence.
Pure Pride-The Horned Devil can use its SLAs even while wielding a
Pure Metal weapon. In addition with 8 hours of work it can combine two spiked chains crafted of different materials to combine them in a single spiked chain that gains the pure metal benefits of both, but only while wielded by the Horned Devil. In the hands of anyone else it behaves like a normal Spiked Chain. Another 8 hours of work reverts the process. If the Horned Devil has Pure Crafting, it can forge pure metal Spiked Chains at half cost and price, but they're only any
good evil on its own hands.
Sublime Devil-The Horned Devil learns one maneuver and one stance of a school of his choice, with Horned Devil levels granting full IL for it. Once used the maneuver can be used again after 2 rounds. In addition the Horned Devil chooses one martial class and its Horned Devil IL stacks with it when multiclassing with that class.
Another core devil. Despite its name, it actually has no horn-related abilities, despite claws, bite and tail slap. I suppose it's part of some cunning devil tactics. The enemy is always expecting you to attack with the big horns when you're actually gonna attack with everything but the horns.
Focused on spiked chain, so added a bunch of Aoo abilities to synergize. The 1st level ability helps switching between claws and chain as needed, then SLAs, good skills and whatnot. Chooseable capstone because I couldn't decide. Horned Devils are supposed to be Hell's elite warriors except Pit Fiends are better and Kytons already had the spiked chain stick, yeah, thanks a lot lore.
So if you want to play a top grunt from Hell, the Horned Devil's for you!
